My partner, John, and I rushed into marriage due to youthful impulsiveness. Our passion was so intense that after just three months of dating, he called me his wife. Now, his kids have discovered our living arrangement, and our lives have become a constant struggle.
I can’t say that I support the family on my own because that wouldn’t be true. My husband has a very good job. Thanks to his work, our children and I live quite comfortably. We have a three-bedroom apartment near downtown, a car, and a weekend cabin in the countryside. I’m very grateful to him for that, although due to his job, we don’t see each other often
Seeking advice on how to handle my mother-in-law’s absence. She hasn’t visited her grandkids in over six months, doesn’t call or write, even though we live in the same town.

Everyone who knows this story thinks I’m heartless, but I had no other choice. – How could you? How could you do that? Isn’t he your father?
It seemed like I had my life together, but I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Let me start from the beginning. For many years, I lived with my daughter, Emily.
– The only thing she ever tells me is to stay out of her family matters. I should have told her long ago to run away from someone like him.
At 78 years old, I still feel spry and full of life. I could probably run a 5K if I wanted to. But last year was a nightmare! First, I spent three weeks in the hospital with pneumonia, and then I broke my hip. Walking has been a challenge ever since, and the recovery process is long and grueling. My daughter suggested I move in with her. She could help me
A year after moving in, a young couple our age moved into the apartment next door. We quickly became friends and started spending a lot of time together. We visited each other often and shared many moments.
