then you need to point out that he cant keep blaming it on his condition. maybe you should research some stuff on bipolar, maybe there are sites that have examples of things that he can use to control his anger?

My brother is a drug addict as well, i refuse to go near the house when hes there, and i dont have my own kid. so i dont blame you on that one.
As for the job, put the resume out there, everywhere.
talk to friends, family, see if theres a good paying job somewhere.
Get a job at a factory or something that pays well,
make it a temporary job until you can find a job that suits you better.
as for your grandmother, i am very sorry, i can only send my prayer out for her.
If you cant find a job, maybe try applying for a line of credit with the bank until you can get back on your feet.
As for the second baby, well, nobody is financially ready ever to have a kid, so, if you want another one, i say go for it, but i’d wait until you find a job first. even if its just a temporary one.

Best of luck!

try starting assignments early, like the day you get them. do a little bit every day. as for tonight, take a hot shower while you think about things to write, then write like mad

this is not your fault, you can not blame yourself for this.

Have you ever tried massage therapy? seriously, it works wonders. If that’s not for you, try finding something that you enjoy that you can take time to do every day.
example meditation, exercise, writing about something that has nothing to do with school, call a friend. Do something to take your mind off of what is making you stressful. Calm your sympathetic nervous system! its way too overactive right now!

oh, i didn’t know that he has bipolar. Still, nothing excuses being abusive. has he talked to his doctor, told him that its bad? maybe you should?
maybe try some counselling, separate and together?

took a test, came up negative, i’ll take another one at the end of the month

I’ve been in an abusive relationship before. Its hard to get out of.
The best way is to stay with a friend for a while, break up with him over the phone, because if you do it face to face there is more of a chance of him getting angry and hitting you. once you break up with him, stay at your friends place for a while, make sure he doesnt know where you’re staying. try not to go out to an area where you’ll be alone.
Best of luck!

they can work, if you are both committed, the relationship has to have a set-in-stone trust base

i’ve still been taking my pill though, i wasn’t taking them at the right time for a couple of days during ovulation

Valentines day is a stupid and pointless hallmark holiday.
My boyfriend and I are refusing to celebrate.

If you’re positive that he’s cheating, it doesn’t matter how you found out, you need to confront him about it, and either dump his ***, or, if you think you can work it out, get him to confess to it, and forgive him, but let him know that you will never give him this chance again.
If it were me,
I’d dump his ***.

I suggest taking a romantic weekend together somewhere. Getting away always helps everything come out, and can relight the spark. If you don’t have time for that, try talking to him. Sit him down, and tell him that you need to just talk for a while. You don’t want him to say anything until you are done, then he can say what he feels. Put everything out on the table.

true love, is indescribable.
It can be the best feeling in the world,
When the one you love, loves you too,
Or it can be the worst feeling in the world,
When it is a one-sided love.
It is the most complicated emotion known to mankind.
People are always trying to explain it,and figure it out.
But that just simply isn’t possible.
It can’t be explained with words,
And there is no science to explain it.
It just is.
