What did I miss? Who's pretending to be a parent, but isn't??
The word was used by LadyP when discussing those like the BH in this marriage, who might turn out NOT to be the baby's bio father but who might raise the child nonetheless.

Oh, whew! For a minute there I, as an adopted child, thought I've been raised by pseudo-parents all these years! wink

The term as used by LadyP would surely apply to adoptive parents, too. It was applied to those raising non-bio children.

Hello, SC ~

Goodness, Gracious...
kiss

I will simply let my reply post to Tawandabelle stand as is...
I am relieved to say that I do not feel the need to answer to you.
flirt
I simply refuse to "wrestle" in the mud with some people... Because I perceive some people like wrestling in the mud! And, I do not...
Nooo

Wishing that all is well with you in the UK... And, here's hoping you have a wonderfully blessed day!
pray

God Bless ~

LadyP8Riot,

This prefix pseudo- is disapproving by nature, the emotional association is negative. I'm sure you cannot remember a word carrying pseudo- in the beginning and being positive at the same time.

P.S. SC ~

I agree with your suggestion yesterday to start a "new thread" rather than allowing ourselves to go down a "rabbit trail" here on Please's thread...
clap

Please's initial post asking for help does need to be our focus ~ First & Foremost...

Therefore, I will simply keep my "focus" geared toward helping & encouraging her as best I can...

Lastly, it is freeing to know that I can "agree to disagree with some people without being disagreeable"...
Conversely ~
It is freeing to know that I can "agree" to allow other people " to disagree with me even when they are disagreeable."
rant2

God Bless ~

I guess we must simply agree to disagree without being disagreeable...

Now, what encouragement, edification would you like to offer Please today?

Sorry your thread got off track, pleasehelp.

Are the floodgates open yet?

Please give us an update.

Good Morning, Please!
kiss

I am still thinking about you, hoping you are still with us! Just remember, everyone who has replied to you thus far has insight and knowledge about how you and your H can "start over"!

I hope you will reread your initial post AND all of the posts made on your thread...

There are many "golden nuggets" of valuable information in each post that you can use from people who care deeply about you and your H! As you reread the posts, concentrate on the ones that are profitable...

Do you have Dr. H's book, "His Needs Her Needs"? His companion book, "Love Busters" is also one that will guide you and your H "back" to establishing Love as the foundation of your marriage... These two books are wonderful tools! He has also made many articles available right here on his site... Read any/all of them over and over... They will "root" you in his MB Concepts...

Let us hear from you...

God Bless ~

Dear Please ~

I fear you are "terrified" to the point that you have gone underground!

You are NOT alone!

I miss you!

Please come back!

God Bless ~
