| 2009-11-23 | Raymond | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you, I argued with my mom and she sent me to my dads for acouple days..and now I am realizing that I shouldn't act the way I do, she doesn't get mad because she knows I don't know how to deal with everything. But thank you, you helped me very much! |
| 2009-11-17 | Wyatt | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you again... |
| 2009-11-17 | Wyatt | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you very much for your response Dr. Becky. I really am going to follow your advice and do whats right for our kids. She has them by the way, not me. |
| 2009-11-05 | Sara | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you. That's a very helpful response. |
| 2009-10-26 | Anne | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks for the reality check. I think that because he is kind...and a very good rhetorician--I've been lulled into believing that what I want (for him to earn a stable, family-sustaining income) is somehow unreasonable. Instead, the last five years have been damn unfair--and yes, I've enabled his behavior by allowing him to shift the focus of our agreements--and by not drawing a firmer line. Er--you're right. A clean kitchen is not a substitute for an equal, responsible partner, and my foot is now down--I'm less afraid of "losing" what (little) I actually have than not making a change that will better my life and that of my children. |

| 2009-10-07 | Chris | 10 | 7 | 10 | 5 | No | I appreciate the help but the answer to the follow up question seemed a little out of place and the answer really didn't clarify what I was asking as much as it was putting a label on what the expert thought I was. |

Becky, I am very thankful with the response you on such urgent basis and yes you are right i should consult with some local psychologist in this regard as it will be a difficult job for you or any from such a distance with different culture. i highly appreciate your comments about my complex question. i hope things will get better with time and God will help me to decide with the Better. Thanks and many regards to you. M Usman |
