“Evil” is a lashing out word, especially when it’s aimed at somebody who didn’t do anything wrong. That’s projection.

You get to the point where you realize that you *have* to stop the madness. You have to set those boundaries. Does it sound like a good...

Up date. I talked to my dad today. He said he broke down and cried. It is all to much in him. He said the most painful part was seeing...

@Snowflakes, I'm so sorry your having a rough time. It is so easy to have the emotional ups and downs. I cannot remember, but do you...
