I am always appreciated about reading a new book. That sounds like a good tip. Did it help you somewhere? Anything valid info it gave you, that you can say about it? I know that alot of my relationships screwups have to do with my father. I somewhere seem to pick exactly those that were just like him. Even though, when I meet them, I could SWEAR they are nothing like him. In the end, they all leave the same awful, ugly, nasty way. AND THEY ARE ALL LIARS, just like him. It's unbelievable. I would love to be able to protect my children from them doing that the way I did. I just don't know how. As long as their dad's can't be in the picture correctly, it has little to do what I say to them to make them choose right later. The one thing I do make sure, is that they never meet the boyfriends until it's something really serious. I keep them out of my private life as much as I can.

I had just started going to therapy when I read it. It helped me figure out a lot about how my fathers choices affected the choices I grew up to make. A lot of my poor choices are due to my mother also, but I don't fault her. She did a great job with the resources she had and her heart is always in the right place. The book explores several different personality types (that's not the right description, but it's the only way I can think to describe it) that come from damaged father-daughter relationships. I think most women can fit into one of the categories she lays out. She explains how you get there, and how you break free of the limits you put on yourself. Basically, it's to understand what got you to this place you are in, but not in order to lay blame, you want to understand it so you can accept it and move on, and not keep repeating the same mistakes because your father was not the father you needed. You have to read the whole thing though. She lays a lot of ground work in the beginning, and ties it all together by the end.

AWW Hon, I didn't meant o ruin your day. I just took some comments to heart about marrieds being here and discussing their issues about babies and married arguments so I took those things to another board where it is more appropriate. But I still will be here to give that "been there, done that" advice to anyone who needs/wants it. I also will be sure to visit to update ya on things going on with the baby if anyone wants to know. I'm planning to get Shane to take a knocked up picture of me so people who have begged can see it. I have y'all and lots of friends I don't get to see that are willing to do anything to see me pregnant. I'm mostly posting on the Sex, Marriage and Intimacy Board in Good Housekeeping for the married issues and sometimes go to Parentsplace on here for baby talk, but I don't like to just sit and post about pregnancy so I don't frequent that much. When I feel her kick, I don't need to announce it everytime, ya know??? But anyway, I do miss ya and I'll try to catch you on yahoo IM too sometime when I can't catch you here!
