		<description><![CDATA[Especially if she is teen, I would mock arrest, handcuff and put in a cell for 30 minutes or 1 day max. I know this sounds harsh, but it helped my teenager daughter to understand and listen to me. What I feared most is, not listening to parents becomes not listening to colleagues when gets a job then not listening to store owners and finally stealing. After the cell time is over, get the officer to st down and talk about not listening converting to stealing. It is important for the officer to talk with her because if the officer does not, she might be afraid of the cops. Call the local police to take her to mock arrest temporarily. I did 20 hours, but you can decide a shorter time but make sure it teaches her a lesson.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Keryl:

Great points are made here. Good credit and responsible finances are one step away. You have to decide to make things work right. This doesn&#039;t mean it will happoen over night. Bad credit doesn&#039;t happen over night either.

There are many great resources out there either through the credit bureaus or from not-for-profit credit counselors.

First you have to decide to change the behaviors that got you to where you are and then set up a system of evaluating spending, setting a budget and then sticking to it.

It won&#039;t be easy but it will be worth it. 

Working out doesn&#039;t make you skinny tomorrow but it starts making you healthy today.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At 46, you still have a lot of livin’ to do, Sister!  And Keryl is right, you – and only you—can chart your course.  If your husband has divested himself emotionally (and physically) from the marriage, throw him overboard!  And he can take his “girlfriend” with him.  You have to trust that the course from here on out will be new and different, but also as fabulous as you want to make it.  None of us can control the weather, but we can control how we enjoy the rain.

That said, if a marriage is rocky and miserable, there is little point in staying in it “for the long haul”.  The same goes for jobs and friendships that have become toxic or have otherwise run their course.   Your willingness to stay in a bad situation does not earn you brownie points, sainthood, or even a free drink.  There will be no “Ra, ra, sis boom bah!” cheer for you or anybody who chooses to stay “stuck”.  Only when we realize just how NOT stuck we are (and we are NEVER stuck, we only allow ourselves to feel as if we are drowning in emotional mud), is when we can re-energize, pull ourselves up by the bootstrap and begin heading straight for what we want out of life.  Congratulations!  You are nearly there.

Now, take a big breath in, girlfriend, because you’re are going to need your new-found strength to help you get through the legal part of the process.  Keep in mind, the Court is not going to care how you got to where you are.  Surely you care, your best friend cares, and your mother cares.  But the judge, doesn’t.   In other words, the fact that your husband has violated the marriage contract, isn’t going to matter much in terms of how you split up your stuff.  The fact that you have a child with special needs, will matter most.  Child support and maintenance are simple math.   Arm yourself with that knowledge, and you will be able to answer some of the immediately pressing questions, such as, where will we be able to live, and will I be able to afford the electric bill?  

See, you should feel a little better already ?  

You have entered the storm before the calm.  Be brave, be smart and above all, be open to all you deserve.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not very often do I find someone as intelligent as you. Even though I know many women can do what you do, I don&#039;t think they&#039;re brave enough. Very often I find that women, like myself are just too shy to write a book like this, or even help others like you do. Elizabeth, my friend, tried to do something like this, but unfortunately she died of cancer a few years ago. Reading this site has been very helpful to me. Going back I few years I remember one of the last things Elizabeth ever said; &quot;Never give up!&quot; these words are still with me today. Often I find it hard to not give up with all of the stress in this world. Nine years ago when Elizabeth died I thought no one could give the advice she gives, but you are almost just like her! Negativity, greed and selfishness all seem to get in the way of most people, but. Apparently not you! Going through the motions of live without any meaning was a regular routine before finding your book. I found this site only a few months ago, but strangely things have been going. Very good lately! Even though my husband left me for another woman, this article and a few others have given me a lot of guidance. You have helped me so much. Other books, and advice just haven&#039;t done the trick! Using your site as a guide, I have gotten my life back on track!

I know this comment is long I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy this site]]></description>
