Dear Deanna!
I have been designated as the
babysitter and caregiver for my
younger brothers and sisters. My
mother started having kids again
after I turned 13. Now I’m in
college and I can’t get my home­
work completed. I stay tired all the
time. I try to talk to my mother but
she is always fussing about her
boyfriends, my siblings’ fathers
and money. I don’t want to quit
college or ruin my relationship but
it looks as if that’s where things are
heading. What can I do? — Tamyra

Dear Tamyra:
Families stick together no matter
what and in your case, you have
to be the glue. You may not see it,
but your mother is doing the best
she can with what she has. All
you can do is hang in there, help
the best you can and push your­
self harder to become better and

achieve. You should work out a
schedule with your mother, col­
lege and the kids and be sure to
rest and stay focused. You will
get your reward in the end after
you’ve done the right thing.
Dear Deanna!
I want more out of my current
relationship but I think my past is
causing negativity between us. I
have been known to have more
than one boyfriend and play the
field but I’ve changed. I’m ready
to settle down but my past seems
to haunt me on a regular basis.
My boyfriend tells me he would
commit but he’s afraid he can’t
trust me. What can I do to prove
that I’ve changed and can be
trusted? —Anonymous; Char­

Dear Anonymous:
ate Heart
People believe that once you're a
cheat, you will always be a cheat.
Your lack of care for your morals
is giving you a dose of reality that
you can’t seem to swallow right
now. You’ve shown your boy­
friend quite a few things when you
thought he and others were not
looking. The only thing you can do
is stay on the straight and narrow
path in your relationship, meet his
expectations and demonstrate to
him that you’re on his team seeking
longevity and a future.
