    Guilt!

    Hi Who are we to judge? :) I think It can be hard when you disclose things online because you are unable to see facial reactions. You could be projecting your own feelings onto others. A lot of us do this on here, do not worry :) I hope you can continue to talk because we are all...

    News Church's Emphasis On Marriage

    HI all I believe that 'godly behaviour' is suppose to be from within and not come as a judgement from others. God is your conscience. You answer to yourself and will be your own judge. Which is also why I look at most people who judge and ask myself do have they the right to judge me...

    I Read A Life-changing Book Today

    Hi Ashton13 I haven't read that book myself but I understand the concept and found that it can really help. Another book that really changed things for me was 'Practising the power of now' by eckhart tolle. I suppose my mantra would be stay in the present, only remember the good memories...

    News Uk Sex Abuse Reportage Over The Last Year Or So....

    Hi I can understand your concerns. I would like to think though that it will make people more likely to report it. One reason for this is that it is becoming less taboo to talk about it. Another reason is that even high flying and celebrities are not above the law. In the 70s Uk there...

    News Uk Sex Abuse Reportage Over The Last Year Or So....

    I agree there is a lot of media coverage regarding the 'celebrity' peodos and manipulators. I find it is highlighting the need for people to take accusations of rape and indecent assault seriously. It highlights how easy it was for them because society at that time either did not want to...

    Is Moving The Right Thing?

    Give Me A Challenge

    Might try Geocaching myself, never heard of it before :) I wonder if they have karaoke where you are? could you sing your favourite song? ;) Or compliment five random people on their clothes/hair :) or ask five random people if they like something about you (like your hair colour, new...

    Kind Of A Breakthrough, Kind Of...

    That is very encouraging and something we can all think about. I think an important part of healing is still showing respect and humanity to others but of course expect the same in return. That way we can all look after each other :) Reading your post made me smile. :) best wishes...

    Really Struggling/not Sure This Is The Right Forum

    Hi Sadbird I think you did the right thing for your parents. Although you are not responsible at all for their lifestyle or behaviour, that is their choice, you showed compassion and love (maybe even pity?) for your parents. Even though they treated you appallingly you still found...

    School's Ending And I'm Scared.

    Hi Avgirl I understand your fears and anxiety. Loosing a sense of security bring to mind how vulnerable we all are. :) The safety net at school provided you help in different areas of your life that maybe you feel you are unable to control yourself. This could also explain why you are...

    Living With Constant Guilt...

    HI Radise and xena21 I believe that there are stages we go through. For a long time I felt like xena, then I felt like you. I used anger to keep people at a distance. I could call myself an angry little women. For years I managed to conquer stuff and I am still very proud of that. I...

    Living With Constant Guilt...

    Hi xena21, I hope you don't mind me prompting these questions for you to consider. Are you not an innocent person then? :) What are you guilty of then? Guilty for just being here? As one of Gods children you are supposed to be here, aren't you? I just wonder when I read your first post...

    He Doesn't Get It

    Hi Kitty I feel in a way that you might be better to stop trying to make him get it but to allow him to just support you and show you the love you need and expect. However, you have to also be aware that his own issues will also affect the relationship, it is not just down to you to try...

    Why Can't I Make My Mom Happy?

    Hi Alexia I feel your post is full of torment and confusion. The one person who should listen and support is a mother. However, when they have massive issues themselves it is hard to get them to listen and communicate in the way you want. It seems that it is time to stop trying to...

    Types Of Trauma, Type 1 And Type 2

    Hi I have never been told about stages of trauma but I do relate to your awakening. After 40 years of self doubt and hatred I finally found the link between what I was experiencing and PTSD. It all started to make sense. I opened up a lot of cans and gave me a lot of things to think about...

    I Am Quiet

    Hi All, Actually, I have learnt to be quiet again. What it means to be quiet. I know I am not naturally an extrovert and I think I am quite shy and introvert as a person in general but that always got me abused in the past. instead of learning how to assert myself I withdrew even...
