Question
I know that you can't give me any advice about the fish. I just wanted to tell you about the babies. I am still excited about having them. And I didn't know that about Pepsi but I have been drinking it for years. I've cut it down considerably but I will try and cut it down some more..I just dread the headaches I will get from not drinking a certain amount a day as the headaches are very painful.
As far as my mother is concerned, she and I will probably never get along. But I honestly don't know how to forgive her because she will find a way to take advantage of that and just talk down to me some more. She has always been above me and she always will be, no matter what I do.

Forgiveness doesn't mean you let her walk all over you, its more of a state of mind. Its to help you save your sanity. Forgive her for what she does but do not let her think that you will put up with it. When she starts hurting you or does something disruptive tell her I forgive you mom but I do not have to put up with this controlling and negativity from you, therefore until you can stop your menacing ways I prefer to have very minimal or no contact. Stick to your guns!
Keep your chin up and love and happiness will come your way.
