Ask Erin

I feel like an absolute burden on my family, and whilst I know they don't resent having to help me, it does limit their freedom.

I am willing to spend time with her — if she's not smoking around my son or me.

What breaks my heart is that my friend had this idea recently that she wants to get married to this guy. I think she's making a mistake getting married.

The first time the topic of children came up, everything was positive, but later he kept hinting that he wasn’t sure. Is it a dealbreaker?

From a 25 point list, "These are the signs you're in an emotionally abusive relationship," he even agreed he was doing like 22 of them.

I'm really conflicted and upset and confused at the moment and just wanted some advice. My best friend sexually assaulted me, and he doesn't realize it.
