hi Bec, I feel the need to respond to your posts on here regarding your present situation. As a mother of two myself I cannot even begin to fathom what you are going through totally. I read in one of your earlier posts on this thread regarding how you feel as though you being on new meds and...

Hi Jen, I was helping my MIL study for a diabetes course she did recently, and during this time I read all I could on the subject to help her to study. I saw above that you mentioned your husband was 50... Whilst I was helping my MIL to study we learned that most people with diabetes simply do...

hello, I just thought that I would add my own personal experiences/feelings about this issue. You are definitely not alone at being irritated that your partner doesn't actively contribute to your life together. Trust me, at times the fact that my partner doesn't work grinds on my nerves like you...

photos I just thought I would share some more recent photos of my boys...

hello to all, sorry it has beena while but our lives have finally settles down... We moved to Newcastle at the beginning of June, literally just before the flood hit! Our car was delivered the day the rain started and it was immersed in water up to the gear stick- it is only just starting to...

Dear Anthony, In regards to your post about the pefect partner, I may just be a cynic but I don't believe their is such a thing. Yes all of the things mentioned are important but perfection is just impossible (IMO). Every relationship has it's own issues, most just aren't seen on the outside...

Ok So I can finally post a photo... This is Phoenix with his big brother Jackson. Phoenix was born 3730gms and 51 cms... but he is a bit bigger than that now. Almost a whole month old and loved by everyone.

the birth was ok- Phoenix ha his spine against mine so it was a bit more painful than normal... but the end result was worth it... He is beautiful- he has a full head of black hair. My computer is stuffed at the moment so it won't let me upload pics :-( but as soon as I get it fixed I will...

Hello all, Just thought you might like to know that Phoenix David Gordon Barber arrived happy and healthy on the 10th of April... I only got home today... Alex and I are over the moon about our beautiful baby and Jackson is in love with his younger brother...

Alex's whole family is in Newcastle... which will make thins a little easier. His family have got some possibilities fr work for him which is a good thing...

hi all. Just need to get a few things off my chest in regards to our lives lately. I feel the need to tell people a bit of background info first. I am almost 22 years old, I have a beautiful 16 month old baby boy from a previous relationship and another little boy on the way in 3 and a half...

When my partner started seeing his doc, I went along. It was his docs wishes. My partner was going once a week; and I was asked to attend once every four weeks. Some times either my partner or the doc would ask me to come in and when they felt they had issues they needed to discuss together...

I think that the only time there is such thing as a happy ending is when both parties learn to work together to try to make life as simple and as happy as possible for the other. Both need to sacrifice! My partner and I are in a bit of a different boat; you see he was diagnosed with PTSD just...

Anthony, You are one hundred percent correct about Kerrie Ann knowing you had Logan... I think that maybe she didn't understand exactly how difficult being a step parent can be. It's pretty hard when your opinion doesn't really matter in the big picture... The questions you really have to ask...

Dear Anthony, I am terribly sorry to hear about your troubles. I feel the need to respond but I don't want to "chose sides". In my own personal experiences, I only tend to blame Alex and the PTSD for things when I have had enough of blaming myself for everything. For example, I make excuses...

Keith Urban is actually from New Zealand but moved to Australia as a young boy. He lived in Caboolture ( a shitty little hole in South East Queensland) before he moved to America to kickstart his career. I can relate to alot of Keith Urbans songs and one that my partner likes is called "you're...

This is going to be another long whine, hope no one minds. For the past four months my younger sister has been in South Australia living with my dad and his girlfriend. While she was away Alex and my Mum got along really well. Now that my sister is back, it's like we don't matter any more. My...

Well, we have tried to sort this out a few times in the last week. MCRS has now cut Alex's pension due to the fact that he didn't hand in a medical certificate or something... We weren't even told we needed one! We rang MCRS to find out whats happening but Alex's case worker wont be in til...

hello Andrea42 I can understand somewhat what you are going through. I too become upset and/or irritatedwhen my partner won't hold me or show any kind of affection. We are sort of different though as my partner only lasts the maximum of one week at a time. We are also in our 20s so I can...

Alex and I went to the MCRS office today to find out what we have to pay them back with the backpay from the super mob... (we apparently get a 6000 payment after tax in Alex's account on Thursday) and according to the bloke from that office we owe them about 7000 but he "can't be sure of the...

hello again Alex has just been put on a class A pension. From the paperwork I have recieved this means he gets part payment from one company and part from another (one has something to do with super). Apparently this pension is 100% of his army wage... I am confused because to me it would make...

Dear Mystic, I have been with my partner now for only 15 months. We aren't married either (but we are engaged). Sorry if I mislead you, it's just that we do everything like a married couple and thats how we view our relationship. Marriage, in my opinion, is one big day and a bit of paper... I...

To the Parsons Family, Conratulations and best wished from our little family in Townsville... You are truly blessed to have two happy and healthy little boys and a teenager to help out as much as they ever will... Alex and I are really happy for you all- your boys are absolutley gorgeous. I...

Dazed, I know I haven't even met you but you need to believe me when I tell you this... You are not inadequate nor are you ugly. Your husband is a thorn in your side because he has no idea whats going on either. I for one think your son is a very special little man and my heart goes out to you...

Congratulations to your entire family. Four boys in the one house; Kerrie- Ann you have my sympathies (lol). I envy you at the moment because your baby is here and I still have another twenty weeks to go! I hope your new baby is happy and healthy and that everything is going really well. Lots of...
