    I'm 56. For some reason, I never had a single hot flash. I once read that vegetarians don't get them, but an OB told me that wasn't true.

    It seems like we'd need a study to know for sure if being vegetarian does anything.

    Maybe it's just part of my genetics.

    Hang in there -- I've heard it's very difficult.

    I'm perimenopause and vegetarian and having hot flashes like crazy.

    If he was one of 10 kids it would be different? I am not going to rehash this issue— I did what I believed and believe was right. I have done a large amount of begging and crying and there is really nothing more I can do. I was put in an impossible situation and now the ball is in his court. I continue to be kind and supportive and open. 

    I think yes, it would be different. You have one child - and you don't speak. I can't imagine the pain you are in. Though, I guess, if you still feel you made the right decision, then you probably aren't the kind of mom I thought you were. So maybe I'll just bow out.

    I am not sure what you think I need forgiveness for.  I am doing everything in my power to get back to our normal relationship but there is only so much one person can do. 

    You did not go to his wedding. He is your ONLY son.  Isn't that enough?

    Significant.  As in we aren’t speaking.  But we love each other an hope to speak again someday

     

    If this is your son - ask for his forgiveness. Ask him how to make it right. He is your child. There is nothing I would not do to find a way to repair it. I'd want him to be at the wedding simply to see his face. I can't imagine an estrangement this long from my son. 😞

    The last paperwork sent to her on how she has met NONE of the benchmarks, came to her from HER lawyer.   So, if her lawyer will defend her now, she would have to change her story or show evidence that the mom has changed drastically.

    They will look for things the state did wrong, support mom didn't get, a lawyer who didn't adequately fight for her, etc. She may be given another lawyer for the appeals process if this one isn't good at her job. 

  6. TPR procedures can take a long time, and the TPR hearing could be scheduled months away. After it's done, she can and likely will appeal. That can take more time - years even. Her lawyer will absolutely defend her even if it appears to you that there is no reason to do so.

    We used to go through about one box a week, more when a cold was going through the house.   Then I discovered that milk consumption can contribute to mucus production, and once I ditched dairy milk, the constant need for tissues pretty much stopped.  Now it takes us a few months to go through a box of tissues!  Drastic difference.  

    DS prefers TP over tissues and keeps a roll next to his bed.   I buy the super soft name brand tissues, but no lotion thankyouverymuch. 🙂

    We are no-dairy here too. Also, no lotion tissues. They are awful!

    We buy kleenex from Sam's Club, if that gives any indication.  We use them a lot.  We all have allergies, though, year-round.

    That's our situation too. But it seems excessive. I've gone through 2 boxes of 190 tissues already since Friday.
