Biracial Children

I have two biracial children and struggle with what they are missing and what they go through and are going to go through. I am white and the father is black, but he is not in their lives. All they know is what I can teach them and show them; I feel they are going to miss out on their heritage. I also fear what they are going to have to endure growing up, as far as who they feel they belong to and how society is going to treat them. I believe they have all the options in the world and are going to benefit from both sides, because in my eyes they are my children and color doesn't matter to me. I watch people when they see them call me mommy and people can be, and are cruel. I guess what I'm asking is what can I do as the parent to help them, teach them, guide them, and most of all protect them? How can I give them what I don't have or know?

Together forever..........Not !!!!

So many people today just causually date, and sometimes they stay together for a long time. How do you know if you're really meant to be with that person? Should you stay with your high school sweetheart as long as possible, or should you venture out and see what the world has to offer ?

In case you're a little lost what I'm asking is, is staying with one person for the rest of your life a good thing, or should you get to meet other people so you'll know that the one you're with is worth it?

Out of the middle east?

Ever since President Obama was put into office he has been moving toward getting all American soldiers out of the middle east. Some people believe that we aren't doing any good over seas. Do you think we should just pull out of the middle east? What if when we leave, everything goes back to the way it was over there? What if the absence of American involvement causes things to get worse and there is another attack?
