what do you and dp do on a night?

[lifesucks75]

I need to ask for fear of going insane! Can you leave the room and not be followed, can you read a book without being bollocked, can you chat to friends online?

Oh life, that sounds a tough day. Well done for getting the lights up - I'm sure your DD appreciates them and is proud of her part in putting them up.

Your DS's behaviour is worrying. It's what he's been taught is acceptable, of course: putting himself first, not considering you. You need to make a decision that you will no longer accept that. He is an adult now: what does he do for the family/home in terms of money and housework? Have a think about what you think is reasonable; be very clear about what you will and won't accept and then leave it with him to decide if he will buck up and treat you as you deserve. If he chooses to keep treating you badly, then you will have to follow through with consequences. That might be stopping cooking for him, for example (I don't know if you do), or it might be telling him it isn't working him living at home any more.

Decide where your line is and protect your boundaries. This will be a very important lesson for him, although it's up to him if he improves his behaviour. You must look after yourself, and if a grown child treats you like your ex did, you must protect yourself.

Please can someone help me, im not very techy minded at all. My mobile is dying, it's really old....the charger port went this morning so I had to have that fixed, the screen gets lines across it when I go out in the cold, its refusing to text anymore. The police won't do sod all until I give them evidence of the texts even though they have SEEN them. If this phone dies I have no concrete evidence whatsoever. I made a statement weeks ago but they are still doing nothing! How can I get the texts onto my laptop, and onto a usb? I really have no idea...I have been phoning the police station every day and it just goes to answering machine, I've emailed them also...no response at all. Can anyone tell me how to do it before this phone dies or i'll have nothing I can prove

If they're saved to your SIM rather than to the phone, then you will still have them if your phone stops working, so check that first. If you have a USB port on your phone, then can you try connecting it to the computer and see what happens?

Lowest tech alternative is to take photos of the most important ones... but I'm sure there are too many for that to be ideal.

We sit in separate rooms and watch different types tv programmes.
I'll make her a cup of tea while the adverts are on..... after all its silly and wasteful to use a tea bag on just one cup :-)
Who says romance is dead!! Lol

How are you doing OP?

OP I hope things are much better for you, if you are still around it would be lovely to hear from you. Reading your thread broke my heart but you showed such strength!
