Let go and let God.
Very serious here too. Hope you figure out whatever it is you are dealing with. |

This is tough to respond to as the actual situation is unclear. My vote is to get someone who is familiar with the area in which your issue lies, get resourceful and tackle it head-on!
Whatever it is, taking steps to resolve it must be better than letting the monkey ride your back. Of course, I have no idea what your refering to, but I still would want to "win." 'Luck, CS |

Don't try to stop the tide. There are but two types of issues - those that you can control and those you can't. Somethings are too much one, even many to change.

Accept that the only problem is one of perception. Realize that it doesn't matter and move on.

Please trust me when I say my expeiences have proven that literaly all things can be overcome. If all is truly of no help, then there can be nothing to lose in referencing the following:
Psalm 3:3-5, 16:9, 31:24 Deuteronomy 31:6 Joshua 1:9 Isaiah 41:10 Philippians4:13 It is a few minutes spent or invested prior to deciding on another direction. E-mail me if you would like. I hope you find an acceptable solution. |

"You can't run from it, kill it, remove it, change it, get drunk and forget it, curse it away, pray it away, sleep it away, scare it away
and worst of all you can't ignore it." Thats when you switch to full auto. |

Quoted: You can't run from it, kill it, remove it, change it, get drunk and forget it, curse it away, pray it away, sleep it away, scare it away and worst of all you can't ignore it. What do you do for releif? I know this is vague but it is precise enough to conjure up the scenario. Very serious here! Oh,boy... Be true to your convictions, don't forget you are special in the scheme of things, and above all Listen to Classical Music...it is so soothing to the soul. I know, I'm listening to Beethoven right now, what a wonderful prespective his music does for me. Pay attention to your lineage and heritage... Motto: Adapt-Adopt-Improve!!! God Bless |

I remember your previous thread about your step-son. It sounds like the situation is getting worse. You need to look after you first. It might sound selfish but if you lose control..you won't be any good to the ones you love. Just my humble opinion.

I have always found it to be true that the man upstairs won't give us anymore than we can't handle, even though it might not seem like it at the time.
The best thing to do is to face challenges head on, change what you can and realize there are some things you just can't and they aren't worth neglecting yourself over. I know this is vague as well, but take time for yourself, step back a little and it will be clear to you in time. Hang in there we are here for you |

Stand Firm to your convictions.
Do the best you can do. Accept the results. Stop worrying. 95% of our worries never happen and the other 5% you can't do shit about anyway. Worry only saps your will and resolve. PS. everything above works a lot better with prayer. He will give you no more that you can carry. My prayers are with you. sgb |

This will probably seem trite to some, but it helps me when I'm up against it. I have 3 sayings posted in a couple of places, and I try to be aware of them.
Knowledge is Power Seize the Day That which does not kill us only serves to make us stronger I also try to be aware of the fact that no matter how lousy I feel, there are plenty of people that have it a lot worse. Keep the faith, brother. |

Never worry about things you have NO control over! Its just not worth the stress and gray hairs, or pulling them out!

Sounds like your talking about life. Some times it's bad,some times it sucks, and occassionaly it's bearable. Roll with it, this to shall pass. Or,keep you powder dry and your pecker hard, and the world will turn my brother. When things like this scenario happen to me, I just get stubborn and resign to outlasting the damn(whatever it is) thing.

I'm with ya X-K,ill, I feel your frustration. Seems like a lot of my life is the same, circumstances I can't change for the better.
When other's don't have to live what you are going through, walking in your shoes, it's easy to to get the advise I always get, "You just can't let it bother you.". That sucks! I don't have any answers for you, you seem bright enough that if there were any solutions to you problems you would have found them. Sometime we are just put in the no win situation, and although being men we are used to finding solutions to problems which are almost insurmountable, sometime they are totally impossible to resolve. I guess this is the true measure of our character. |

I hate to tell you this but your problems will be greatly reduced if your wife gets onboard. You don't seem to have any problems that you yourself can't overcome. Your fathers health is unfortunate but it is part of life and we all face it eventually.
You are going to have to sit down with your wife and make her understand. Perhaps if you have a problem step child the best thing may be for that child to go with the father. |
