Really worried - told lies & now they're getting social services involved
Hi, I've been really, really stupid, but now am terrified. I've been on a forum, and when things were going bad with my husband, I used to post on there, grossly exaggerating the truth, so that I could get sympathy & make me feel better.

Operation to pin back ears
Hello My 13 year old daughter has asked to get her ears pinned back. She does have very prominent ears which stops her wearing her hair up in a ponytail or similar styles.

I'm not that interested in going out any more…
