Search Results: hes cutting me out of his life

Maria is 29 years old and has a 11 year old son named Dustin. She tells Dustin that he's worthless, stupid, punched him in the face, and slapped him. Dustin had a 14 year old cousin who used to physically assault him and pull his hair out. Dustin cried, vomited but his mother did nothing to stop it. She says he deserved it, then told him he should of been aborted. Later that day Dustin tells her that he was sexually assaulted by her boyfriend and Maria says it's his fault. Dustin tried to be a good child but even at school he was bullied because he was so small. His mother tells him to be a man and life isn't easy. Dustin cries himself to sleep every night and starts cutting himself to deal with the pain. Does Maria deserve to die?

Did Justin ruin his life?

Ok, so my boyfriend works for UPS. He makes 74,000 a year (but is somehow always broke? AND maxed out his credit card with a $15,000 limit within two months?). He has been offered a position at the headquarters in Atlanta with more responsibility and a lot of traveling, but the same pay he gets currently. From what I understand, the cost of living is higher there than in Memphis, so proportionally speaking, he will actually be making less. Plus, here in Memphis he has a roommate who pays half the rent, and he still is barely making it somehow. He will be stretched even thinner in Atlanta. But he is hell-bent on going and threw this on me all of a sudden without discussing it with me. I feel like he is acting impulsively and foolishly. I am starting to resent him for leaving me with the difficult decision between staying here & ending our relationship (I refuse to do long-distance) or going with him & probably dealing with a crappy financial situation.

I have recently gotten accepted into U of M, and I've just gotten an internship at a hip local newspaper/magazine company, which could be a gateway into a journalism career should I choose to go in that direction. Journalism is something I'm interested in, mostly because the English language is my main expertise. It's either that or be an English teacher. If I were to move to be with him, it would probably screw my chances of becoming a journalist, especially since I would be cutting my ties with my company. However, moving probably wouldn't hurt my chances if I decided to be a teacher. Either way, I still have to continue with school and if I moved, I'd have to find a job to fund living expenses and school.

I live with my dad and I don't pay rent. I have never lived with my boyfriend, much less on my own, and now all of a sudden he wants me to live with him in an unfamiliar city. Admittedly, my brother lives in Atlanta as well, so at least I would still have some sort of family tie there.

So what should I do?
