Just wanted you to see for yourself
Lee this is a question. The man I am seeing is brilliant with money and has a lot of it through diligence, great money tending skills and smarts. I was raised in a family that had lots of money and used it to control others and to part with it as soon as possible. I have been in therapy 30 years and have solved many issues, but I still have a love hate relationship with money. I want to know how to ask my friend for help, but since it is my problem I have been struggling alone with it. I am 4000 in debt and work hard to pay it off, and I am good with paying my bills. AND I seem to want things that aren't important like clothes, etc. that I don't really need. How can I make myself more responsible as I don't want to impose my bad habits on him, and I want to be healthy with money for myself? Ava Rogers
Lee, I loved your article on the ADHD couple. I am just now dating after 10 years of celibacy and writing and being ALONE which I love. I cannot understand why my friends all in their 50s are so obsessed with marrying this man or that one or being in a relationship where the man drinks, is a nutcase - why not just find someone you admire and respect and take your time? Dating is for finding things out about a person, isn't it? I NEED my solitude. I thank you for a fine (and very clever) article. Ava Rogers
I would like to congradulate my extended PTI family for having such great success.
i would like to find out if you guys get big enough if i can be your water boy.
love Luis
How do I get my child to stop thinking about food? I plan on taking him to get examined to make sure that there are no hormonal concerns. The think is, whenever he's bored, there is a commercial or he has any free time (which is often) he thinks of food. I don't supply the food and I have been encouraging him to think about something else. He say's sometimes, "oh, yeah, I remember, think about something else, like trains, school..." Thank you for your response!
We in Calif who voted against Prop 8 are doubly disappointed by the ruling since the original ruling allowing the marriages was based on the non-discrimination clause of the state constitution. That clause states that NO state business or actions may discriminate against anyone on the basis of sexual preferences or orientation. We fought long and hard here to extend that equality, and the Utah Mormon church brought it's money to bear in our state to change OUR laws.
Beyond that, it diminishes the meaning of ALL marriages by making a spiritual and sacred union about sex and gender, not about Love, Spiritual Achievement, Ethics and Personal Betterment.
No one's marriage means as much here in Cali now that the issue is about breasts and testicles. Hey, Mormons... take your friggin' money and go drill for oil under Arches National Park... leave OUR state and our monogamies alone!
MJAM,
We are with you. My husband and I were married 20 years ago in Redondo Beach California at the church where we had celebrated all of life's important moments. The mere idea that my gay friends do not have the same right is repugnant. To say that marriage is a religious concept is so backwards.
Here in Florida we are up against it too. The Mormons aren't as visible but you can smell them. Also, our recent vote was more of a backhanded attempt to stop gay marriage and the results will hold reprecussion to all who live together. But this is the land of Anita Bryant. They ran that bitch out Miami and I'm sure, as sure as I am writing, that equality will be sooner rather than later.
Thank you for the comment.

Lee..you are a therapist..what is the treatment protocol for person with narcissistic personality disorder. And Paul...how you dispose of the body after you dealt with them? Seriously, how about some advice on how to deal with a narcissist?
I would like to hear your views on Spirituality vs Religion and how present day "Churches" have fuk it all up!
How do we measure how much time a person should spend with their spouse? I hear women say he doesn't spend enough time with me. What is enough time? Differentiate between quality vs quantity.
Girls, body image, and (over)weight. Can you speak to that? (I am not talking about being skinny minnies, although that is certainly a serious problem as well. )
I don't know how to read comments on what you guys write about, Now, I know that one if the``says is dedicated to talk about kids and problems.... Here is a topic that I think might be interesting and that I would like to hear what people think. Does a child from 13 to whatever age 17, 18, 19 have the right to privacy? I mean if we are concerned about something regarding tour son/daughter don't we have the right to go into their myspace for example. I have`been talking to several parents and they seem to think if they are living under my roof they have no privacy. My thoughts exactly but some parents believe it's unethical to go through their myspace.
Or to even say to them in another situation you are not going out tonight if they are 18 or over. I feel if I have reason to think that they can't go out that's it period the end. Not just because they are 18 we can't tell them what to do anymore.
Is it just latin parents that feel this way? (Like I do)
What do you guys think?









What's up guys? Have you done any posts on how to handle divorce or the end of a relationship in a healthy way? Of course, there are many variables, but I think some general guidance on when and how to let go could be helpful.
