    Is my ex allowed to do this?

    You should have good solid legal ground to press the issue and maybe limit your ex down to visitation that is under 12 hours at a time, if anything. Social worker, Lawyers, Doctors, Hell if you can swing it get him into the doctors the same day you pick him up so there is outside documentation...

    CF, marriage and depression

    I would seek a shrink, and I know its not easy to take as much of life one day at a time as you can, even more so when you've got kids or things you want to see/do in your life time. But keeping things simple and easy for a while might be a good idea. Meds maybe useful if you've been depressed...

    HELP! My 10yr old is refusing to do airway clearance

    Tisha has a point, short of flipping me up side down and beating on me, a good laugh/exorcise does more for clearing my lungs then anything currently on the market as a treatment that doesn't leave my damaged ribs screaming. Get them active and keep them that way, will do more for them with...

    Obama & Healthcare

    Well said Cindylou, I for one don't fear socialized healthcare. Sure nobody wants to hear "no" to the request of "hay I want/need this" its a kin to telling somebody go home and die, nobody wants to hear that or say that to some one. But it happens daily just right now its mostly based on your...

    Can't keep up- exhausted

    Hang in there, back off on the house work on the days you work out if you have too, but hang in there. Going to be one of those things in life the more you push the better off you are. Just so long as you don't push so hard you blow out a knee or break a bone.
