I'm filling out a form entitled "Personal Background Information."
The first question is, "Have you ever been involved in, either as an
aggressor or victim, an act of assault, child battering, child
molestation, or child neglect?  Please explain your answer."

I had my ASSP adventure today--I went to meet Jane at her friend's
graduation party!  It was a lot of fun, I recognized Jane right away
(thanks to the faq picture she has up) and I was really glad I went.
Jane, you were great.  It was wonderful to meet you.  Vicki, you're

    I don't post very often, so just a quick reminder of my backstory.  I'm an
adult stepdaughter who has a very difficult relationship with my father, but
really respect and admire my stepmother.  They married after I was already an
adult so I never had much of a personal ...

I've seen Melissa, Anne, Kim, and Deb - in that order.  Everyone is fabulous,
looks fabulous, and is living a fascinating and exciting life.  
Now today, I'm trying to find Deb.  Deb, are you there?  Can you still do
lunch?  I'll call you at work.  If we can finagle this, you'll be ...

The crap going on at Ex's house has escalated the past few months.
Last weekend, Kayla signed the legal papers to change custody to here.
She was very decisive about it.  Her Dad found out Tuesday,
immediately left work, loaded her up and dropped her off here saying

I recently married a man, divorced by 7 years, after his spouse left the
marriage. I never knew them and was not involved in their divorce. Their
only child decided to stay with her father..moved out for college and is
now in an apartment, marrying and is ugly to me ...

Okay.  Well.  Gladly, baseball season is coming to an end.  Big blow-up last
Friday, stupid really, over whether SS would be attending part of his
scheduled game, then going to his dance recital, or just going to the dance
recital.  It was our time.  We let SS choose.  He wanted to ...

Hi! I'm a 28 year old who recently fell in love with a widower. Life is
grand in the sweetness of a new love. My buddy has been widowed for a year
and a half. I have been divorced for almost 2 years. "Buddy's" 19 year old
daughter recently returned home from college and is not ...

So after two years of SO basically not seeing his son for more than a few days
at a time, and us going through constant hell trying to get him it's finally
happened.  Yesterday SO picked SS up for an eight week summer visit, which may
very well become a change of custody.

Does ABSOLUTELY ANYBODY get Showtime that would be willing to tape "A
Lion In Winter" for me? It's a remake of my favorite movie of ALL
TIME. The new one stars Glenn Close, it's *killing* me not to get it.
The old one, for the two people on earth who might not know this, was

I am up in arms when it comes down to what I should do about my my
step daughters mother.  First let me give you some back gorund info.
I found out that my husband who was my boyfriend at the time had a
four year old daughter the same age as my son seperated by five

My step daughter's bio mom calls 2-3 times a week.  It's hard enough for
our relationship for all reasons possible, never the less to have her
interfering too.  They talk about her potty training, what she ate while
at each others house, how she acted with different things, what ...
