- Jesse James Apologizes to Sandra Bullock
Facing allegations of infidelity, Jesse James issued an apology Thursday to his wife Sandra Bullock and his three children, taking full responsibility for their heartbreak.
In a statement provided to People Magazine, he says:
"The vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded. Beyond that, I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment.
"There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way.
"This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me."
What has Jesse done that warrants an apology?
According to In Touch Magazine, he allegedly engaged in an eleven-month affair with Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, a tattooed porn star and mother of two.
Reportedly, Michelle McGee was sleeping with Jesse James while Bullock was filming The Blind Side, and under the impression, Bullock and James were no longer living together. She told In Touch "I would never have hooked up with him if I thought he was a married man. He gave me the impression they were separated."
Has "Bombshell" not heard of google? Makes sense that google would come in handy if you want to know if your high profile lover is married or not.
One can only hope that the "vast majority" of the allegations are false. For Sandra Bullock's sake and the sake of the children she has grown to love as an extension of her love for James. One also has to wonder why bad people continue to do bad things to good people.
Could it be that this is just another example of a good girl making a bad choice to begin with?

- Rielle Hunter's QC Interview: The "Other Woman" Speaks
In the new issue of QC magazine, John Edward's mistress has opened up about her relationship with him. Below are comments from Ms. Hunter about Elizabeth Edwards. They will give you insight into how the other woman views the wife of the man she is sleeping with.
It is easy to understand, after reading the interview how Ms. Hunter was and is able to justify her behavior with another woman's husband.
"And I believe what happened in his marriage is, he could not go to his wife and say, 'We have an issue.' Because he would be pummeled. So he had a huge fear. Most of his mistakes or errors in judgment were because of his fear of the wrath of Elizabeth. He's allowed himself to be pushed into a lot of things that he wouldn't normally do because of Elizabeth's story line. And the spin that she wants to put out there. He was emasculated. And you know, the wrath of Elizabeth is a mighty wrath."
"And, well, first of all, infidelity doesn't happen in healthy marriages. The break in the marriage happens before the infidelity. And that break happened, you know, two and a half decades before I got there. So the home was wrecked already. I was not the Home Wrecker."
"[Elizabeth] was in denial about a lot of facts. And I say she was in denial because, you know, their relationship has been dysfunctional and toxic and awful for many, many years. And she was aware of, um, problems and chose to ignore them."
Do the statements and photos reflect badly on Ms. Hunter? In my opinion, yes. Worse than anything, it reflects badly on John Edward's character. He would not have had the political career he had without Elizabeth Edwards. She is the mother of his 4 children, one they lost in an automobile accident and she is terminally ill with cancer.
Elizabeth Edwards has been through enough and so have her children. What kind of man/father allows a woman like Ms. Hunter to continue to show such contempt for his children's mother?
Maybe a man whose thoughts and beliefs are as skewed as Ms. Hunter's seem to be.

- What Should You do if The Non-Custodial Parent Refuses to Visit the Children?
A question I often here from custodial parents is, "what can I do if my child's father/mother doesn't show for visitation." As parents, we feel our child's pain when the other parent fails to exercise parental visitation. It is only natural we want to "do" something to take away their pain.
When a parent chooses not to be active in a child's life damage is done. Children are left to feel unworthy, unloved and worthless due to the lack of self-esteem that comes along with being rejected by a parent.
We can't protect our children from all of life's disappointments. In this situation though there are things we can do to keep the impact of an absent parent from causing too much...post continued

- Flat Fee Divorce: Is This an Option You Should Consider?
I don't encourage anyone to divorce. From my experience divorce doesn't solve problems, it only adds to the problems you already have.
In some cases a marriage is so far beyond repair, a few extra problems post divorce is no reason to stay. What do you do in today's economy where money is short and problems can seem overwhelming?
Find yourself a Flat Fee Attorney. Instead of hiring an attorney who charges a retainer fee and high hourly rates, hire one who will take care of the divorce process, from beginning to end for one flat fee.
When to Use a Flat Fee Attorney:
When there is low conflict between spouses. And, nothing is better than decreasing conflict that saving money on a divorce. If your spouse seems unwilling to negotiate issues like child support and the division of marital assets suggesting a flat fee attorney may cause him/her to become more willing to negotiate.
Couples who want to spend less time in court and on the divorce process benefit by hiring their own, individual flat fee attorney. You can negotiate the legal issues have your attorneys make sure your legal rights are protected, draw up the paperwork, file it with the courts and you are done.
If you are bent and determined to divorce but can't handle those high legal fees check out a local flat fee attorney and get on with solving all those problems you'll face post-divorce.

- Is Avoidant Personality Disorder a Defense Mechanism That Land You in Divorce...
The person with Avoidant Personality Disorder is extremely sensitive to what others think about them. So sensitive that they suffer severe anxiety at the thought of saying or doing the wrong thing.
Most are people pleasers who bend over backwards to make others happy. The give and give and give until they have nothing left to give. In my experience, it is someone with Avoidant Personality Disorder who is more likely to experience a Midlife Crisis.
Below are the symptoms of Avoidant Personality Disorder and an example of each behavior.
Must Be Well Liked: This person does not become involved with others unless they know they are held in high esteem.
An example, Jane is a fantastic cook. She takes cooking classes and delivers meals to people in need. The problem, if it doesn't have something to do with cooking Jane doesn't become involved. She only puts herself in a position to be around others who praise her and she knows, with her cooking she will always receive praise. Jane spends a lot of time alone...in her kitchen.
Not Open to Intimate Relationships: This person fears rejection or ridicule by someone they've become romantically...post continued
