actually, this is very encouraging to see how many peeps prefer target to walmart. i just bought some target stock, lol...so i like to see this trend :) i want my stock to go up!

target is just a better store. they have better stuff, and the store is suuuuper planned out to be easy to shop in, and ...

OMG! i found my people! LOL!

i thought i was the only one that felt this way. i HATE walmart because it is so disorganized in there, and that makes me want to get the heck out of there and fast. they have stuff stacked up all messy, and bins that people have rummaged thru. bleck.

but, target...ahh ...

did i mention that, while super sick at her house, she made me sleep on the FLOOR? she wouldn't even give me a bed, even tho there were 2 empty ones in the house, which was yet another reason why i couldn't go back there once i was discharged from the hospital.

hi all,
thanks again for your replies. i wish i could think that deep inside there is a loving person there. on top of what she has done to me, she has seriously screwed up my husband as well. she plays w/his mind all the time. her love is conditional - conditional upon doing whatever it is she ...

tho, at the same time, i think a part of me wants MIL to know how i feel about everything she's done to me and i also want her to know that i'm not going to be open to it anymore. and i don't know if that is just to 'get her back' or if it would really help me to feel better.

wow - thanks to everyone for the replies!

i think that what i want from this is to protect myself. i want to only allow people in my life that are going to treat ...

hi all,
i need advice as to how to handle my current situation w/my in laws in an assertive way.

the first 3 years that i knew them, i worked really really really really hard to get them to like me. my wedding to their son was all about what they wanted, and i did all this stuff for them - sent ...

i should also say that avoiding work/responsibilities and abandoning projects is a total symptom of perfectionism. if things don't go perfectly/how you have them going in your mind, you abandon it because it's not 'perfect'. i think lots of peeps think of perfectionists as overachieveing type A ...

it's like you guys tapped into my brain or something, lol.

uh, yeah. i have started and quit many many things because when the ball got rolling and i felt 'locked' into the responsibility i felt i would eventually muck it up and abandon ship before i mucked it up. i quit med school, i quit law ...

hi all,
i have had the 'attacking anxiety' program for a few mos, i'm a bit better but still having problems...one of them is my in-laws, particularly my mother in law (MIL)...

she is very bossy and rude, and she has made my life so difficult for the last couple of years. i talked it over w/my ...
