I'm a simple girl, I don't need a lot to please me. I love giving advice and the greatest pleasure for me is knowing that I have helped people out. I am often misunderstood and judged to quickly because of my age. But I have been through enough in my lifetime to understand and identify with many of the people who come to me with problems. I am willing to do whatever I can in order to help you all out, so anything you need, just ask :) I answer all questions honestly... no matter how much the truth hurts.

My family (husband and 2 kids) have not had a real family vacation in 8 years. My kids asked to go to Disney World. They are ages 15 and 12. I booked a 1 week vacation about 4 months ago. We are scheduled to leave June 28th. My mother has since been diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. Her surgery is June 27th. My only sibling is flying to NJ from CA to be with my mom. I told my husband to go on the Florida trip without me because I felt that the right thing for me to do would be to stay with my mother. He is refusing to go without me and blaming me for ruining our vacation. Is it right for him to blame me? We can’t cancel without losing a lot of money. We will not be able to book another trip anywhere in the near future because fuel prices are sky high, and we would have already lost a bundle. Do I go on the trip or stay with my mother who may be dying in the near term? (link)

you are the only person who can truly make this decision. but think about it this way... you family has plenty of time to go on vacation later in life, and there will always be another chance. But with your mom, there may not be another chance. this is only going to happen once [hopefully] and your mom really needs you. your husband may be upset now, but eventually he will understand. he has no right to blame you, and you just really need to explain to him your dillemma. hopefully he will respect whatever decision you decide to make and maybe even help you to make the right decision. just let him know that this is really hard on you and that you need him right now.
whatever decision you make, it will most liekly be the right one. just look deep down in your heart, and you will know what you really need to do.
Good luck with everything and my prayers are with your mom :)

A long time ago (a couple years) i was told that a family member i'm close to was sort-of abandoned at birth by her mum. Here's the story -
Her mum was overwhelmed by her birth, and this huge change to her life that she had 'sencond thoughts'. she took this family member to my granny, who took her in - and would have raised her if need be - but my granny (after a night or so) managed to convince the mother to take her back.
If this family member (that i'm v.close to) found out about this (i only just found out she doesn't know) whoknows what could happen to her. She hasn't had the best life - her parents divorced, she gets bullied badly etc... - and this could make it worse (if she finds out).
My Mum told me about 3 or 4 hours ago (we got onto the subject when i was talking to her about my family for a family tree project at school) that i'm not even to breathe a word to any one other than her.
About 1 or 2 hours ago i realized that i have told someone. I think i told 1/2 people, but i'm not sure. I'm not even sure who. I told them trusting them not to say a word to anyone and even though i know they've probably forgotten (i told them a while ago) or if not they would have said by now if they were going to say, but i still can't help feeling sort of scared she'll find out and guilty for telling.
I dont want you to tell me it's alright etc... but have you got any advice for me? Also should i tell my mum that i think i told someone? Thanks loads!!!!!! (link)

yes, tell your mom! she will be able to calm your fears and help you come up witha plan. also think very closely about who you told and do damage control ASAP!
Good luck :)
