Question #1:

PLEASE!! Can someone give me a website with free counseling?

I'm desperate and in need of help. I have no money since they barely laid me off of work and I want to save money so I can leave this place. I just need to talk to a counselor so bad, I prefer like a chat for free. Can anyone help me?

I will thank you all for your help.

Question #2:

What's a typical time frame for couples to stay in therapy?

My husband and i entered marriage counseling a little over 1 year ago for some major issues in our relationship. We both wanted to save our marriage and wanted it to work so we agreed to therapy. We found a counselor we really liked and we have been seeing him since June 2009. Our marriage is now stronger than ever and we feel ready to stand on our own two feet and navigate the waters of marriage solo. Will our counselor suggest an endpoint for us or is it up to us to say something? Our therapy is free since it's paid for by my husbands employer (active duty military) so we've just kept going because cost isn't a factor and it has really helped us grow as a couple. But we feel we're at the point of time to try it solo and see how we do. We've learned how to argue effectively, how to communicate, and how to take care of one another and voice our opinions. Yes i will admit we should have known how to do these things BEFORE getting married but we got hitched young and learned some lessons the hard way. But we've been married almost 5 years and have come a long way. What do we do now? Do we suggest it to our counselor and see what he says? Also if you don't believe in therapy or think its a quack science keep your comments to yourself..Therapy has very much helped my marriage in fact even saved it so no smart Alec remarks needed. If we feel we're ready to fly solo do we just need to ask the counselor if he feels we're ready? Please no rude comments or suggestions that we read books or other self help crap instead of therapy to fix our marriage. Opinions from actual therapists or couples who've been in therapy long term would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
We currently go twice a month and have no co-pays like i stated above. And to the guy who said real couples don't need therapy, your a prime example of a man who probably needs it the most,lol..

Question #3:

How can I get my husband to agree to a monthly budget with me?

I want to sit down and go over what we pay each month, such as bills, food costs, gas, ect. I feel like if we sat down together and actually went over everything, we could come up with an effective way to budget money and save for things we used to want together (such as a house, a newer car-which we will be needing soon). My husband refuses to do this with me. He says that we don't have to sit down together to realize how much debt we have. I have tried to explain my plan of being proactive and trying to figure out ways out of our debt but he refuses. He would rather pretend the debt doesn't exist and spend our money the way he sees fit, I get no say-so. He even refuses to let me do the grocery shopping! The bills are mostly in his name, he would spend money when I told him it wasn't a good idea and now we're in trouble. He claims it's my fault as much as his. He goes out with his friends every saturday night, he is going to every college football this season (as he did last year) and he is going back to school. I never go anywhere, and when I do, the things I do are free, like visiting my mom or sister or taking the little ones to the park. Please help, I don't know how to talk to him in a way to make him listen. He refuses to go to marriage counseling, he says He doesn't need some stranger knowing our business.
I don't mind him going out and having fun, whether it be to the game or out with friends. The issue is that we are drowning in debt and I want us to work as a team to get out of it, rather than me being the only responsible one, and if anyone has control issues, it's my husband.

Question #4:

Husbands and Wives that have gone to couples therapy, a question about it?

How long did you go before the counselor said you were ok to be on your own without any help? My husband and i have been going to counseling twice a month for a while now and while we really enjoy it we just wondered how long do couples typically go? I know it's going to depend on your issues, how well you work stuff out,etc.etc..but my husband and i have been going for just over 1 year and the counselor recently mentioned he might be ready to change us to once a month sessions since we are doing so well. My husband and I really like our counselor he has helped us come so far in our marriage its unbelievable.But we too feel that its almost time to stand on our own. Whats a typical time frame for couples in therapy? Also cost has not been an issue with us because our therapy is free through the military (husbands active duty).. So we just keep attending sessions as long as the counselor says he wants to see us. How much longer should we expect to keep going? We will be moving out of state around the first of the year so we will have to stop seeing our counselor eventually but i was wondering if he will give us the ok to stop counseling once we move or advise us to find a new counselor and have a few sessions in our new home once we get moved.
It's been my husband and I's expierence that those of you that don't beleive in counseling or have to knock it right off the bat are usually the ones who need it most. Thankyou for you completely unhelpful answers.
Also just an FYI counseling for any issue is not a wquick thing,lol..You trying to reteach yourself and your brain to think logically and retrain yourself, a few sessions doesn't fix anything. Most therapys for anything from addicitons, to eating disorders take YEARS!!
Thank you to the posters who answered my question. My husband and i have both been feeling we are ready to stand on our own two feet and stop the sessions. And we had a lot of complex issues to deal with. Your info was wonderful thanks for being helpful unlike the other posters.

Question #5:

Do you think this psychiatrist really professional?

When I went to a psychiatric counseling about my family issues, the doctor got personally upset with me as if the issue does apply to himself. He became very defensive, even though I wasn't talking about him. He was also telling me about his other clients' issues with some of their information (their name and some of their background). The most surprising thing was that he talked bad about children in his neighborhood, just because they stair at him when he comes out of his house (he runs his business at home). I thought professional people shouldn't take things personally, especially the topic was nothing to do with him. Do you agree or disagree?

I was certainly so uncomfortable telling my whole issue. I really thought that he shouldn't be charging people money for this poor quality of therapy. I tried to understand what his point was, but I couldn't. My emotional issue was finally helped by a teenager in this yahoo community for free of charge, not by the doctor who charged me lots of money. What do you think?

Question #6:

What would you do? (therapy session)?

Ok so basically I got married to whom I thought was the love of my life in high school, also my first real relationship... Well we had a unplanned pregnancy in high school and since then I had been in limbo wondering what it was I wanted and wanted to do. Now I will be the first to admit I had grown to resent the situation and wasn't a good husband for the first two years I was suffering from depression but I am not going to use it as a crutch, I just wasn't nice or as loving as I should be. I never could talk to her and tell her what I was actually was feeling because I felt she was much more of an intellectual than me and every time we started to fight I just felt stupid and she handled it so much better. I had grown very addicted to gaming too, I used it as a way to escape the stress. It had put a huge strain on our relationship and I was finally able to kick it by the waist-side this past school year (we are both full-time college students). I was starting to turn myself around (too little, too late).

Just this past summer I accepted a job over several hours from her and our kids (had another a year or so ago - which I didn't want at the time because I was really unhappy - but loved regardless and have a much better relationship with than the older). About a week into the new job (government job so I didn't want to turn it down or back out due to longevity and stability it could mean for my family) I went up to visit them and we fought and I said some stuff about how we got married because of the kid and I thought love would grow because of what I saw and had thought. First off this fight was mainly based off an external factor of a person staying with her family that she was "planned" to get married to when younger. She flirted around with this person the past summer and said she was just "friends" with when confronted. Even though she drove me to rid myself of platonic friendships it was now suddenly fine for her. What I said obviously hurt her and I tried explaining it and how I just didn't understand why she just wouldn't move with me for the summer and I thought she decided to go back home and stay with her family because she knew. She denied it all and was most likely truthful. I ended up coming up every weekend besides two which I had to work. I begged her to come and bring the kids up for a few days and she never would come up although I had a place and it was just as good if not better then our housing when in school.

I also have big insecurities and have never really been social. I really have a strong distrust towards people and haven't explored counseling enough to figure out why. Anyways with this I really don't approve of drinking, sure you can have a few at home but I just think going out to bars with friends is not kosher with me when you have kids. Which is a big downfall of me I bet but I just have seen so much destruction of relationships due to drinking that I won't risk and don't like inviting the risk of it in. Since I have known us neither of us have been big party-goers or the like. This summer she started going out and had a few drinks at the bar with her friend and the first weekend we were back home she had invited her friend and was gone the whole day and night shopping and visited several pubs with her friend. She spent our only weekend together and free before school with her friend. Now this will be the second weekend and this Friday is our anniversary. She planned to go out with her friend and drink this weekend and seems to totally have blown off our relationship and everything, when we just got to the point around mid-August where we decided we could give our marriage a second try. It just seems as if she is done with our relationship, I told her I don't like her drinking and she has even filled up a cupboard full of vodka and tequila among other drinks she planned to take up this weekend. I just really don't know what to do or to tell her. I want it to work out because I can't imagine life without her (well who she used to be) and also for the kids because I love them but it seems as if she has flipped a switch and she's become somebody that I wouldn't want to spend my life with anymore.

Am I just being stupid and am I completely wrong? What would you do or say/feel if you were in this situation?
Didn't want to add details but yea our sex life sucks because its always this or that and the kids are up or sleeping in the same bed or something! I have really been busy trying to keep my mind of sex but it is a big stress in the back of my head. I am young and at my peak but emotional I am pretty strungout so am not feeling in the mood either.
I really have thought about marriage counseling but still haven't gotten it to be an agreeable thing yet. With the job she even told me I should take it and when I was about to back out she told me that its something I needed to do and take advantage of. I never thought of the alcohol as her escape and I asked her if this was something I could expect for the rest of our life and she said yes because she can buy it now and isn't breast feeding our kids anymore. Her family even told her over the summer that she has changed - which is kind of where I first found out from - and she is sick of people saying she's changed and its just that she is able to so she is going to do it.

Question #7:

Christians - Those of u who believe that anyone can come 2 Christ anytime they are faced with prospect of it-?

What do you do with these verses,

But the natural man [still being carnal-minded] receives not the things of the SPIRIT of God: neither CAN HE know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (I Cor. 2:12-14).

"Because the carnal mind is enmity [hatred] against God: for it is NOT subject to the [spiritual] law of God, neither indeed CAN BE" (Rom. 8:7).

"Or despise you the riches of HIS goodness [‘His goodness;’ not our free will] and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God LEADS [God’s ‘leading’ is the CAUSE] you to repentance?"

"You have not chosen Me, but I HAVE CHOSEN YOU…" (John 15:16).

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that [‘that faith’] not of yourselves [NOT of your own faith or will] it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them" (Eph. 2:8-10).

"Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil" (Jer. 13:23).

"Having made known unto us the mystery of His will [God’s will is still a mystery to the world of Christendom], according to His good pleasure [‘For it is GOD which works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure’—Phil. 2:13] which He has purposed in Himself [not in man’s fabled ‘free will’]: That in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in ONE, ALL things in Christ, both which are IN HEAVEN, and which are ON EARTH [that’s ALL the heavenly host and ALL humanity that has ever lived]; even in Him: In Whom also we have obtained an inheritance [in this age and this lifetime, ahead of the rest which must go through judgment first], being predestined according to the purpose of Him [not by the ‘maybe yes/maybe no’ uncertain shaky possibility of man’s supposed free will] Who works ALL THINGS after the counsel of HIS OWN WILL" (Eph. 1:9-11).

That last verse really begs the quesiton, "does freewill really exist in any area of life (not just the area of salvation)?"

All words in brackets are used for emphasis by author. They are not part of the verse as it reads in the bible.

Question #9:

What exactly does Obama mean when he says there is a "great Muslim herritage" in America?

Barack OBAMA, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America 's story."

AN AMERICAN
CITIZEN'S RESPONSE:

Dear Mr. Obama:

Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.

Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.

Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?
Declaration of Independence ?
Bill of Rights?

Didn't think so.

Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from
England ? No.

Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ? No, they did
not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves." Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr. Obama?

Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present.

There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.

Where were Muslims during thiscountry's Woman's Suffrage
era? Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient
to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the
'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband.
Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?

Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim
grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from
the Nazi's in killing Jews.

Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they weren't flying planes into
the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on
our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the picturesshown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.

And THAT, Mr.
Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here
in America .

Oh, I'm sorry, I
forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates.
They were Muslim.

And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan .



That, Mr. Obama
is the "Muslim heritage" in America
.

Question #10:

How to help my mom with depression...?

Hi. My mom has been suffering with depression for about the last year and a half. Basically, my grandmother passed away more than two years ago, we took on the debt of the house plus my mothers credit card bills. My mom is divorced and very alone. She also lost her job, and after several interviews and "filler jobs" nothing is seeming to work out. Lately, her emotions she kept hidden and covered up from her marriage are starting to pour out, and she now has to deal with them. My father emotionally abused her, cheated on her, and his parents demeaned and belittled her. Her marriage ended about 12 years ago but she is just now facing it all. She never fully dealt with the pain; instead, she used her career and our amazing mother daughter relationship as an outlet. Since her career has left, she has been in her own head a lot and has really lost herself and her inspiration to find a job and herself again. We have pin pointed her problem to not being able to "seek." She knows what she wants, but she is waiting for it. She says that she has lost her ambition and that she just does not care anymore.

The thing is, my mom admits she has depression and that she wants to tackle it. We have had several heart felt talks and goals set; however, we cannot afford treatment. Also, she wants to gain a greater relationship with Christ and go to mass more, but what steps can we take to grow in a relationship, which verses, where do we start? Do you know of any websites we can look at for a self treatment, or if there is free group counseling, or blogs, anything!!!?

Thanks for reading through all of this. I'm a teenager and my mom is in her early 50's. She is gorgeous and I am not just saying that, she looks about 30. She also has an amazing sense of humor and charisma, so I just hate seeing her waste her life away, dwelling in our home becoming stir crazy.

Question #11:

Can't afford help, but what other alternatives do I have?

I recently told my parents that I need to see a counselor or therapist because I think there's something wrong with me and I think I need some sort of medication or something to correct it. It was very hard for me to open up about it because I've been feeling like this for a long time and I was afraid that they'd think I was crazy or something. However, when I told them that I thought I needed help, they told me that they didn't have the money to take me to a doctor. They tried to help me themselves by talking to me, but I felt better for like a day and now it's starting back. So, I need to know are there other alternatives like free counseling online or therapists that are free? I really need help because I'm seriously considering suicide just so I won't have to feel this way anymore.

Question #12:

I beleive I was incorrectly placed in Special Ed?

was in special Ed from 4th grade to 8th grade. Then I was placed into a remedial program in high school, in my opinion, seemed like a joke.
What lead me to that conclusion was...
In elementary school, I observed I was the only one who didn't need my hand held and led to my porch when I was dropped off from my bus. Also, I was the only one in class who knew my important info, ie: address, phone, contact, you name it. All the other kids could not verify their info. The others couldn't even recollect what day of the week it was. Me on the other hand, knew all of that.
I always had a urge to learn more for my own benefit, this urge was not fulfilled due to me getting work 3 grades below my curriculum. Just to give you an idea, I was taught addition and subtraction in 5th grade, then multiplication is 6th! I couldn't understand really why I was in that class. Another puzzling concept was that, other kids needed to be monitored and sometimes restrained. I simply sat at my desk and completed my work and turned it in no questions asked.
I always was on the honor roll. I remember on a warm fall day, I sat underneath our tree at my house, I ripped up a honor roll certificate because was work was so easy I didn't even feel it was worth displaying.
In Junior high, I was harassed very badly, by my peers in the regular education. They retorted at me by calling me ugly and a retard, or other ridicules fictious names at me. I didn't even learn challenging things. I requested to be put into a english class so I can have assisgnments to stimulate my mind and learn.
These girls would make my life a living hell. I would go home and eat to rid the pain, which made me gain weight so the taunts would increase. also, I was on prednisone, steriods that make you gain weight, because I was so upset with the bullying I would have asthma issues all the time.
High school comes around, I liked it very much. I came home with homework, I liked that I was learning pre algebra. But since I was in the SEDOM program. I had to be placed in the remedial program. This angered me quite a bit.
We had to read these books and write reports on them. No prob, the thing was though, it was books for kids in a fifth grade level. While it took others in this class to read these on a 2 week level. I read it in a hour. I even completed the report in five minutes. After putting up with this for almost 6 years, I started rebelling and lashing out. I found a outlet...I went to the guidance counsler and kindly told her I love to write and I want a challenging class that supports creativity, such as free writing 101. The counsel took pity on me and placed me there. I am proud to say that I excelled greatly. An A+ after another, Ms. Burns told me I had great potential. Unfortunately, after I was a junior, I took to many english classed and no longer needed to complete that requirment. Unfortunently, the lashing out outlet? Half of my reports in free writing. My english class assignments consisted of my slander of special ed and the remedial program and how they mis diagnose students when it comes to the requirement to be in this program.
On my graduation day. I wasn't proud at all. I felt like this completion of honor was a joke. For I feel like this was no challenge completing my work. I feel I have not developed the capabilities on learning and absorbing info due to not having a challenge ever! Everyone smiled as they looked into their diplomas, the outline of the school was etched into gold, I looked at mine, it was in copy inK! They decided to keep mine and give me a copy! WHY?!
I am hopin if you did teach or are currantly/planning to teach this unique education, please do so with tight observations for students like me who wanted to strive above and beyond. What scares me is, I never had the opportunity. I could go to college, but my SAT scored plummented because I didn't know anything on those tests. I feel inadequate everyday when I try to learn. I want to get into what my Dad does, HV AC. But I feel I do not know the basics to even do this.
I am not for suing, but I want money to get the education I missed out. Startting with a basic GED. I know I passed HS, but it's ruining my confindence, and I can't even socialize normally because I never really had "normal friends". Can anyone tell me if I can get even somehow? Thanks, Even a pity answer works out to. lol
lol. I am aware believe was spelled wrong. It's very late, 2 am actually!

Question #13:

New Immigration Policy to Halt Some Illegal Immigrant Deportations , What say you ?

Federal authorities have issued a new policy aimed at stopping deportation proceedings for some illegal immigrants, according to a memo issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The memo, which ICE released on Aug. 20, could affect up to tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who are married or related to a U.S. citizen or a legal resident who has filed a petition on their behalf. Illegal immigrants with criminal convictions will not qualify under the plan. ICE Assistant Secretary John Morton wrote the memo to Peter Vincent, principal legal adviser and head of the agency's removal operations.

The memo directs ICE attorneys to check cases of detained illegal immigrants for any "serious" or "adverse" factors weighing against dismissal, including criminal convictions, fraud, national security and public safety considerations.

"If no investigations … or serious adverse factors exist, the offices of chief counsel should promptly move to dismiss proceedings," the memo reads. "Once the Field Office Director is notified, the FOD must release the alien."

The change in policy could affect thousands of the estimated 17,000 pending removal cases. According to ICE data, nearly 40,000 immigrants obtained U.S residency status due to sponsorship of relatives who were legal residents in fiscal year 2009. By comparison, more than 393,000 illegal immigrants were deported during that same span.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, likened the change to a "free pass" for illegal immigrants, a characterization federal authorities denied.

“Actions like this demoralize ICE agents who are trying to do their job and enforce the law,” Grassley told The New York Times. “Unfortunately, it appears this is more evidence that the Obama administration would rather circumvent Congress and give a free pass to illegal immigrants who have already broken our law.”

A Department of Homeland Security official told Fox News that the new policy was designed in July 2009 to improve docket efficiency.

Richard Rocha, ICE's deputy press secretary, said the agency remains focused on removing foreign nationals who have criminal convictions.

"This administration is committed to smart, effective immigration reform, prioritizing the arrest and removal of criminal aliens and those who pose a danger to national security,'' Rocha said in a statement. "In 2010 to date, ICE has removed more than 150,000 convicted criminals -- a record number.

"ICE is not engaged in a 'backdoor' amnesty and has placed more people in immigration proceedings this year than ever before. ICE has implemented a new policy to expedite the removal of criminal aliens and those who pose a danger to national security by ensuring these cases are heard."

Question #15:

Struggling With Alcohol Addiction Six Months Pregnant, Please Help?

Please no rude comments. This issue is already really hard on me. After giving birth to my first daughter i got severe post partum depression, and i started drinking heavily. six months after having her i got pregnant again by accident. so now I'm 6 months pregnant. and I'll admit I know I have a bad drinking problem. I really want to get it under control, to give this baby the best chance to be healthy, and to be a good mother to my children. I know I'm a good mother, just struggling bad with this addiction. I just want to get help, but I have know idea what will really help to cure this addiction. I've tried counseling and it doesn't seem to help. I think that god gave me this baby to help me straighten my life out. It could have even saved my life maybe. my marriage was starting to fall apart with my heavy drinking before I got pregnant with this baby. and ever since being pregnant I have been doing my best to cut down on the alcohol. I went from extremely heavy drinking before I found out I was pregnant, to only having a couple small drinks once a week. like two glasses of wine a week. I have had maybe one or two episodes of binge drinking. but I'm doing good lately. not drinking barely at all. I've had an ultra sound recently, and every thing was normal and doing good with baby. My baby is developing well, and my doctor said he didn't see any signs of fas so far. which is good. I'm happy about that. so there's a good chance I could have a healthy baby boy. I love my baby, I really do and I don't want to hurt it. I really want help. I'm scared. every day is a struggle and a battle between me and the alcohol. I have to fight to not touch it. which i've been doing good, but i'm so scared that after this baby is born, i may relapse back to my old heavy drinking habits if I don't seek some major help now. but I don't know how to get help, or what will really help. It feels impossible for me to break free of this addiction. any one ever deal with anything like this, or know any one who did, any advice or help would be great. and please don't judge unless you've been in my shoes. thanks.

Question #17:

Should my Parents do Counseling or Divorce?

My parents are on their second marriage to one another. They re-married last month when we thought my dad was gonna die due to a serious illness. Now that he is going to be OK. They are re-thinking their second marriage. They say they only re-married because my dad wanted to be sure that the inheritance was tax free.

Since I'm 19 and, no longer live with them, I don't really care but, I'm thinking that they should at least try counseling..... Or should they just get another divorce?

Question #18:

can i get any toll free numbers for career counselling online?

Question #19:

Is this healthy? distracting one's mind from reality?

Hi. I used to have a family. My dad passed away when I was 13. Then my two brothers married in the next two years. Yet, we still were family. Then my brothers got ambitious and started listening to their wive's counsel, and pretty much now it is as if they don't exist.

Now, it's just me and my mom. My mom is already elderly, yet strong. My brothers use whatever excuse and they don't support financially, nor emotionally, nor anything.

So all of that was so depressing 2 years ago that I even contemplated suicide. Then I got my first job. My first job was so demanding and my boss such a bully, that I was distraughted from all of my life's problems and reality. That job pretty much took all of my energy. Yet, during that time, I lost weight, I started dressing up, feeling happy because I was omitting reality. I had forgotten what my real life was about. I would jam music when I got home, surf on the net on my free time and go back to work the next day.

So now, eventually I got tired of the bullying and yelling at my job, that I had to quit.
Now that I'm home all my other reality sinked in. That I'm alone, that nobody cares, that I'm ugly, fat, I live with my elderly mother. Nobody will ever want to marry me, because nobody will want to live or take care of an elder mom.

It would be so much easier if my mom lived at each of my brother's house for sometime, but that's not going to happen. I'm doomed to take care of mom for the rest of my life.

Like I said, nobody will want to marry a guy like me. Plus I don't even know if I'm straight or gay. I think I'm gay. I'm not brave enough to find a guy partner, and if I do find a girl, it would be all fake.

I don't know. My life just seems so messed up right now.

Should I face it, think about it, or do what I did two years ago - sink myself into another job so I do not think anymore about myself.

If I keep facing reality I might even commit suicide.

What do I do.

Please help.

Good News: Restraining Order on Louisiana Ultrasound Law Lifted
James Tillman (August 24, 2010)

"For the first time in Louisiana's history, abortionists will be required to offer women seeking an abortion the opportunity to see the ultrasound image, hear a description of the image, and receive a print-out of the ultrasound. We look forward to seeing the positive results of this legislation in our state."

(Baton Rouge, Louisiana)—On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Ralph Tyson dissolved a temporary restraining order that he had placed on the Louisiana "Ultrasound Before Abortion Act." The order, which had been instituted at the request of lawyers with the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights, was dissolved after the involved parties signed a stipulation eliminating ambiguities in the Act.

"As we expected, the baseless lawsuit promoted by the Louisiana abortion industry to temporarily stall our 'Ultrasound Before Abortion Act' has been cleared up," said Benjamin Clapper, Executive Director of the Louisiana Right to Life Federation. "This life-saving piece of legislation will now go into effect in abortion facilities across Louisiana."

Ultrasound picThe law requires abortionists to perform an ultrasound on a woman at least two hours before her child is aborted. Abortion facility employees will be required to follow a detailed script, which will instruct them to inform mothers that they have the option at any time to see the ultrasound image, to hear a description of it, or to receive a printout.

The New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights, representing six abortion facilities and an abortionist, had filed suit against the law, alleging that the law was "unconstitutionally vague" and did not specify whether the law required the abortuary to force the woman to receive the printout.

Judge Tyson's decision followed a joint stipulation filed by the plaintiffs and by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH), which specifies that Louisiana's ultrasound law requires the printout to be offered but does not require the provider to compel the woman to accept it.

"For the first time in Louisiana's history," said Clapper, "abortionists will be required to offer women seeking an abortion the opportunity to see the ultrasound image, hear a description of the image, and receive a print-out of the ultrasound. We look forward to seeing the positive results of this legislation in our state."

The order dismisses the Louisiana officials named as defendants, including Attorney General James D. Caldwell and Interim Secretary Tony Keck of the Department of Health and Hospitals.

"We congratulate the Louisiana Attorney General's office for successfully obtaining a judgment that clears the way for informed decisions," said Dorina Bordlee, Senior Counsel of the Bioethics Defense Fund, which drafted the legislation and provided pro bono legal advice to the Attorney General's office.

"Science tells us when life begins," she continued, "but the real question is when love begins. Legislative testimony confirmed that for many abortion-minded women, love began when they had the opportunity to see their unborn child on an ultrasound screen."

The law also requires abortion facilities to provide the woman with a list of facilities that provide free ultrasound services at least 24 hours before a scheduled abortion. Clinics had argued that they were going to be forced to shut down for violating the law, as the state had not yet supplied the list.

The joint stipulation provides that this provision will be enforced only after the Louisiana DHH distributes the list.

"Once we have the list of providers we can send out, then it is enforceable and we will enforce it. Until then, it is our position that the law is unenforceable," DHH spokeswoman Lisa Faust said.

Another CRR challenge remains extant; this one regards the constitutionality of a state law exempting abortionists from malpractice coverage when conducting abortions on "an uncomplicated and viable pregnancy" posing no risk to the life of the mother.
