question I've loved this guy for about 10 months now. and everyone says I'm very sweet, even too nice to him. but he doesn't seem to appreciate it at all. What should I do? question Now, if the word "substantial" generally means large or important, why is it less than "stantial"? I'm constantly plagued by this issue. question I have been going out with this guy and I know that it's true love. Why can't my mom believe this isn't "puppy love?"
answer You're too good for him, honey. Find someone who gives back to you as much as you give. answer

Some people like it. Substantial doesn't necessarily mean "large or important". It all depends on the context. Do you have a good dictionary?

answer I would give your mom examples of why this is true love. Be specific. Give her examples of how your true love shows he cares for you. Good luck.
question

I was raised with the basic concept of God. I've always questioned him. Lately, I've found myself studying more of other religions, like Wicca and Pagan, stuff my mom wouldn't approve of. I know I shouldn't be but seems I've actually found what I'm supposed to be. My mom has no clue what I'm doing. Should I wait a few years and make sure I'm still into it and then tell her?

question

I have been diagnosed with clinical manic depression/bipolar disorder. and have a lot of issues with my mom, and with my dad (who are divorced). I really think that I need to go back to therapy because I haven't been able to control my emotions and destructive/self destructiveness as much as I used to. Also, I want to find a way to talk to my mom, which I can't do at all. I'm hoping I can do some therapy work with her. How should I break this to her?

 

 question How can you tell what kind of filling is in a truffle without actually eating or damaging it in any way?
answer It sounds like you are still not quite sure...You wrote "seems I've actually found". "Seems" isn't a sure thing, is it? It takes a lot of time and research to study other religions. Some people look for years before they feel comfortable with a certain religion. Perhaps you could share with you mom that you are reading about other religions & see how she reacts. answer Since you recognize the need to go back to therapy, perhaps you could tell your mom that it helped before and you would like to go again. If you are in school, I would ask a couns elor or teacher you especially like to help you with ideas for communicating with your parents. answer Some truffles have a distinctive outer coating that gives the filling away - especially if you are familiar with the maker i.e. Godiva, Lindt. When, however, you happen upon an un known truffle, you cannot tell what the filling is. It's one of life's little mysteries.
question Can I have a kitty? question Have you seen my pants?

Hey! You can send questions to my mommie dearest, and I will give them to her when I see her. She will answer as many questions as possible, so come back to see if she answered your question! Archived goodies available.
answer No. answer I don't know - if I know you, perhaps I have.
