Dear AbeMy partner and I have been me for more than five years. He has two adult children. I learned two days ago that I am pregnant. At the age of 43, I didn't think the child was in my future. But now that I was pregnant, I was not happier. I am excited because I am not sure of what will be my partner's reaction. I did not participate with him. How quickly is my news? – Pregnant pause in New York
Dear pregnant: Tell your partner now so that you can start planning how this new little person is integrated into your home. If his reaction is positive, it will be the beginning of a happy journey. If his reaction is negative, and because children are expensive, he discussed what he might mean financially, which will enable you to prepare to raise the child alone with financial support from him.
Dear AbeI am 17 years old and I will be 18 years old in six months. I can't wait to go out. My mother and I have a difficult relationship. We discuss every day. It is addicted, and it is sometimes difficult to talk to it. I feel nothing to do will be good enough for her. I feel I walk on eggshell. I plan to go out as soon as possible, but I need help in dealing with it in the past few months. I feel barely sticking. Please give me some tips. – A teenager in Indiana
Dear teenagerI am sorry for the stressful situation in which you find yourself. Certainly you should save yourself as quickly as possible. Are there other relatives who may be ready to make you with them until they graduate from high school and find a job? If there is, it will be perfect.
If there is no, start talking to a trusted teacher or advisor at school and explaining what is happening because there may be resources in your community for young people from turbulent homes.
Dear AbeI am a retired man, unfortunately, he fell into a fraud on the Internet and lost all my money. I am now broken and debt. This is the worst thing that can happen to me. I had to provide bankruptcy (Chapter 13).
Fortunately, my house is paid, but I may lose my truck (the only transportation) if I cannot keep up with my bankruptcy payments. I have medical problems and eat a lot of medications, so I should reach the dates of doctors. HDP payments, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear their costs soon. I enjoyed my retirement, and now I have nothing. I don't know what to do. What can you suggest? – erupted in the state of Wisconsin
Dear I turnedI am sorry for your dilemma. It may be possible to reduce bankruptcy payments Chapter 13. If you cannot withstand the costs of employing a lawyer, call the Legal Assistance Association or a free lawyer and ask for help. Laws can differ from one state to another, and the lawyer may be able to help you. I wish you success.
