The Flames are Still Rising....

[S.T. _I Made It!]

of course your life will get better. But you do have to move on, no matter if he comes back or not. You can't just hang yourself in midair. If he follows you, then yea! thank the Lord, but you can't drag him with you, so just keep moving forward.

How can it be a good idea to allow your 8 month old to cry to the point of possible hyperventalation?

you know, I know some good people, that actually let their kids cry quite a long time. it's that cry-it-out method, or whatever it is, so some people think it's just training their kid to sleep when they want them too. I actually have a study done in Harvard about how people who were taught to cry-it-out when they were babies actually had harder times dealing with stress and coping with stress. Kinda interesting huh. I mean, when you let a child cry, and you don't reassure them with your pressence that you will always be there for them, they just learn that you won't be there. When a child is always reassured, it gives them confidence. If you'd like, I can give you a copy of it to show him, but not sure if he'd take it seriously or even read it. I think it's just 1 page.
