I drove away my only friend
My daughter Olivia was due to start school and I attended the parents information session to find out how best to prepare my baby girl for big school. I walked into a full room of mother's looking me up and down and I immediately knew what they were thinking. I had my daughter when I was 16 and was now only 21 so I did stick out like a sore thumb in a sea of middle-aged faces.

I seduced my daughter’s boyfriend
My daughter Anna had boyfriends regularly and they were all quite the same. They were young, awkward teenage boys who were overjoyed they had a girlfriend...
The housewife and the handyman
There was an ad on TV recently where a good-looking handyman is in a woman's home doing some work. She is obviously flirting with him and won't leave him alone and at the end of the ad the handyman says to the camera "you don't want me hanging around your house when you're not there do you?" It reminded me of some of my earlier experiences as a tradie.
I seduced my father-in-law
I had been with my husband Ed for five years. We had met at university and were involved in the same church group on weekends. I had seen him around but it wasn't until we realised we were taking th...

True Confessions Agony Aunt: My husband and kids take me for granted
I am a housewife with three kids and a husband. I love my husband and my kids, but they don't appreciate me at all. I’m an unpaid servant who serves up meals, tidies the house and washes the clothes.
I'm a woman in a man's body
I always knew I was female in a male body, long before I was even old enough to articulate that. I'm tall, slim and blonde and ever since I was very young I could easily pass for female, moreover I feel so much more comfortable as a female – it’s natural for me.
True Confessions Agony Aunt: I'm worried about my partner's short temper
My partner has a short temper and little things really get to him and eat away at him and he also doesn't take criticism well. It scares and upsets me when he gets angry as I'm quite a placid person. When he gets upset he lashes out and hits things, but he says he'd never hit me.
True Confessions Agony Aunt: Turning envy to your advantage
Many of the enquiries I get as an Agony Aunt are from people eaten-up with jealousy over what they perceive to be the success other people are experiencing, unable to recognise what they see on the surface might bear little relation to the reality. Here's how to turn your jealousy or envy into a...
True Confessions Agony Aunt: I don't want my husbands baby I want to adopt
For as far back as I can remember, I've known I want to adopt children rather than have my own. But my husband wants us to have our own child. How can we find a compromise in this matter? I am terrified it is going to tear our marriage apart.
I ruined 'Miss Perfect' at the reunion
The common dread swept over me when I received the invitation in the mail for my 20 year high school reunion. "You have to go!" my teenage daughter Chelsy giggled when I rolled my eyes. There didn't seem much point, I had only kept in contact with a handful of friends since high school. I was,...
True Confessions Agony Aunt: Does my husband just want me back for money?
I have seperated from my husband and even though I still love him I don’t want him to have me back just because he doesn’t want to pay me anything if we divorce and I don't want things to go back to the way they were.
I married my high school teacher!
I'm really nervous about going to my 10-year high school reunion in November. It's not that I had a terrible time at school and I'm very proud of my husband, but at the same time I'm nervous for how the other students will react to him and what they will say about him, knowing that he used to be my...
I kidnapped my friend's cat
Years ago, after leaving my long-term partner, I moved in with a friend, Sarah. Mostly we got along well, but she had a cat which I hated intently, so I had to get rid of it.
True Confessions Agony Aunt: Should I leave my alcoholic husband?
This is mine and my husband’s second marriage. We get along very well, but recently have had several incidences that have left me wondering if I have done the right thing. The only thing is, he has an alcohol problem.

True Confessions Agony Aunt: My teenage daughter won't get up for work
I need advice about my daughter who is 18 years old and won’t get up for work.
Brotherly love
Last year, my husband and I gave birth to a beautiful little boy who we named Rory. My husband, Adam, dotes on him. Even before Rory was born Adam handmade his crib and painted his nursery with lazy tumbling cows and clouds. Rory so far looks like me, with his dad's eyes. The only problem is I'm...
True Confessions Agony Aunt: Why won't he put me first?
My partner won’t take his name off the title of the house his ex wife lives in as he pays that every month, but I think that if he really loved me he would persuade her to sell now.
I rigged the Easter raffle
A year ago I worked for an advertising company. It was very much a boys' club. There were only three women in an office of 20 and as the receptionist I copped the brunt of their bad behaviour. So when my chance for revenge came, I couldn't resist...

True Confessions Agony Aunt: My family want a pet dog
My husband and my kids want a dog but I don’t think they have any idea what a big commitment it is.
I lied to get time away from my kids
I never had a yearning to be a parent. If I had not married Michael, who desperately wanted children, I doubt I would have become a mother. Now I'm avoiding spending time with them, and I'm much happier for it.
True Confessions Agony Aunt: heartbroken and depressed
My relationship has recently ended, coinciding with my divorce being finalised. I cry all the time and I'm so desperately sad. I don't see the point in carrying on.
I caught my husband cheating, but never told him
Being married for almost forty years is regarded as a huge achievement, something many people envy. If they only knew the truth about my relationship.

True Confessions Agony Aunt: My husband and kids take me for granted
Ah women attacking women yet again. So much for the sisterhood. I am a stay at home Mum. I do not "bludge" off my husband. I manage the house, the meals, the money and everyone's schedules. I do not have a "clock off" time. But I do have break times. When my son is at school and my baby boy is asleep I can put my feet up, read a book etc. I do make time for myself and yes I do complain sometimes especially when I am tired. My husband also comes home from work and complains about his job sometimes. Everybody has a right to have a bit of a whinge regardless of the choices they made in life. I love my role and despite some complaints from me there are also many rich rewards. I have not missed a moment of my baby's life so far, I get to help my older boy with his homework and be involved with his life. If you feel unappreciated speak up. I do if I feel I am being taken for granted. Your job is so important and you desrve some respect even if you don't bring in a wage.

Nicole Kidman's panic: I've lost my baby girl
Its a shame there are so many misconceptions about Scientology. Perhaps some want it that way. I have been in it for may years on and get annoyed by the stuff written about it. The media like to sell their magazines by creating controversy about the religion and the celebs that belong to it. One also wonders if vested interests who want to put Scientology out of business because of its genuine stance against pharmaceutical drugging of kids and abuse of human rights might be financing some of these attacks. Scientology is about spiritual awareness. Something that I feel this society is short of. Especially when a society seems to be rife with magazines full of gosip based not nessecarily on fact but what someone thinks people want to hear. Good luck to the happy couple and if it doesnt work out then good luck to both of them anyway. Stan

Educate your children, STOP feeding them rubbish, STOP chasing youth in yourself as it's long gone and in your partners, STOP posting immoral rantings on FB for your children to see and STOP playing the victim! You might just find there is a whole world out there beyond teenage pregnancies, fake tans and McDonald's!!
