Yes if they are a mate that is a whole different thing. I don't do the live in thing though. Too many headaches. You have even less rights than a room mate if it is not your place.

Woman's neck does nothing for me.

The reason I do not believe in room mates. Rather have to rent a micro apartment, or even a storage locker, than have a room mate.

I don't see being jealouse of someone you date being on line or even on dating sites. If you are engaged or married I would find that inappropriate generally but Mingle is more of a chat site and if I had a spouse he would have my passwords and vice versa so it would not be a secret.

Don't get snow here but know I will be missing it come Christmas so will send you a warm hug.

This post makes me think of the dity "Insanity is heriditary. You get it from your kids."

While it seems a pretty radical statement. One I hope I would never say to my kids, and believe me thay have pushed just about all my buttons, I have to admit to saying things I have regretted. Deeply. Any perfect parents can flame if they like but most say something really hateful or cruel along the parenting road somewhere.

Taking the statement out of context I have to wonder wheather this remark was made in the heat of and arguement or as a paniced attempt to get through a hard head that is doing something the parent sees as worse than death. Something that will lead to a living hell on earth. Like drugs, living with and abusive boyfriend, something that would jeapordise your child. What makes most parents crazy is when they see their child repeating a mistake they have made or lived through. Or if this parent is overwhelmed and possible under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or mental illness.

Either way this is really poor communication and poor parenting. Since it is highly likely that you are going to be able to teach either skill to your parent you will need to learnt to factor in both lack of skills in your expectations of your parent and the things that they say or do. You may have to choose to limit their contact with you or even find a better surrogate parent to fill your needs this way. If your parent is "compromised" this is often necessary for your own overall menatal health.

You are obviously and adult and yet this strikes to the core of you that is a child. I am sorry for your pain. No kid deserves that regardless of their age. You have the right to be hurt. But only you can decide if this a mortal wound or just a moment of hysteria that everyone would be better to forgive and forget. Since a parent child bond can survive stupid stuff of even giganitic porportions I hope you will keep in porportion to the situation and hopefully get past it.

Since I would bet as much as this hurt you that you care about your parent and I would chock it up to temporary insanity and hope that you haven't or don't say something equally hurtful to your parent.
