This is from a totally different perspective but one I think a lot of us can relate to. I have been really sick lately and I have been thinking about what would happen if I died. I know my Ex's girlfriend does not like my child and thinks she is spoiled. She is also pregnant and she and my ex are going to counseling to try and work it out. I have told my ex to stop taking my daughters side all the time and let his GF have some say in the parenting. He gets upset if she tells my daughter to chew with her mouth closed, stop bugging the cat etc...

I feel like death warmed over. Vomiting, (Really Bad) sweats, chills, fever, aches everywhere. I walk with this at 2:30 and have been even throwing up sprite. Does anyone know how long this current strain of stomach flu lasts? Also when does it become dangerous if you can't hold down liquid, 1 day, 2 days? I am not holding down any liquid and I am a little worried about dehydration. Thanks.

I thought this might be helpful to others so I am going to share the advice the marriage counselor gave us. This was an all day intensive session. Started at 9 and we left at 4:30, other than lunch it was just the three of us, talking about us. It was intense. I won't bore you with the details, but this guy is very well known, been quoted in almost every therapy magazine out there and should know what he's talking about. The purpose of our visit was to learn how to disagree.

My 10 year old SD has been going to very strange lengths to get attention. For the last two weekends she has been pretending to throw up. She will fill her mouth up and run to the bathroom and pretend to throw up. She hasn't realized yet that she might want to mash up the food because a whole french fry just doesn't cut it. LOL. She also has been screaming and crying in the water (pool) that her leg is cramping and she is drowning (she isn't). I am so surprised by this I don't even know what to say so I say nothing. Her father is at a loss as well. How would you handle this? Thanks
