Relative refusing professional care...?
I don't know if this is the right board but it seems appropriate. Is there any options for people who need help with caring for a relative but the person refuses? This is an elderly man who is in the final stages of cancer and now needs two carers on hand all the time. The family are supporting him round the clock and one…

Separation - stressed out
Hopefully this is in the right place and sorry if it's a bit long... My husband and I are separating. I moved out of our home in May as I originally moved to be with him and I didn't feel there was anything left for me there anymore. I'm back with my parents, I've found a new job and until recently things were reasonably…

Awful situation - Help
I'm not sure if anyone can help me with this, but I am at my wit's end trying to sort it. Just to give a bit of background - I moved into a house in February this year with my husband and toddler. I was heavily pregnant with our second child. We knew the house needed work, but the surveys we had conducted suggested we…

Civil Ceremony - Organ Music
Hi all, We're getting married soon and just sorting music for the ceremony... We've got a huge pipe organ at the venue which apparently sounds awesome :) However, OH and I are currently drawing a blank on what would sound good.

Probably the final father update
Sorry, you'll all be sick of me wittering on about the dying father. His family have walked away. The hospice were given me as their contact. Not their fault and they've been trying to contact someone to find out what happens if no-one was around. He has a bank book with him that has around 3k showing in the account. I've…

Christmas family stuff (already)
It's only August but on Saturday my widowed mother told me she didn't want to go to my younger brother's for Christmas. Taking the hint I did the daughterly thang and immediately invited her.

Can I use pre-tax income to pay for baby's therapy?
My baby is not talking yet at the age of 24 months. We want an idependent speech therapist to give him intervention sessions.

Terrible day today
My husband is moving out.... He is downstairs crying and I am sitting in bed with my laptop. I know I am doing the right thing by divorcing him (see previous posts) but, if I am honest, I do still love him and the pain is overwhelming. Also I have so much fear about the future, regarding being alone and a single mother. I…

Anyone think a site that helps you find compatible friends should exist?
Bit of a random post but me and OH were talking about this last night..... Both of us met on match.com and not to be rude to him but he doesn't have many friends, only a few that he doesn't see very often and recently my seeing friends has plummeted too as one of my close friends lives in London and is off to Canada in 2…

Would you feel the same?
Hi all, Just wanted some opinions on what I should do. I met my OH about 2 years ago on an Internet dating site. We hit it off straight away, and within about 3-4 months he started practically living with me. Although we never meant it to happen, he just sort of moved in. I fell head over heels and was happy with it.…
