And I do sympathize with you....it was quite hard on my husband and his siblings.

Pastor's wife here. Husband is a pk. He has had the same fishbowl experience, but my kids seem not....possibly because they are by nature quite reserved. I also guard their time, never expecting them to do something just because they are pk.s. I have to fight my hubby on this sometimes. I...

Trazadone.

I have found it easiest not to say forever, but just to recognize that I need time....and give myself that time. However much I need, not what they want.

Can you take xanax or something while she is there so you aren't so stressed?

I can totally relate!

Very impressed with how you handled this!

No flashbacks during labor for me. The pain kept me pretty focused for two births, and the drugs kept me pretty relaxed for others. I highly recommend the epidural!!!

It seems to me that they are aiming to keep students safe, not just from mass shootings, but also from suicide. It happens a lot. Lives taken far too young.

More than likely, you will fund that the woman counseling you has had one or more abortions. Most who go into this have done so to help women who are suffering as you have suffered. They aren't there to judge. They are there to help you on the road to healing.

Pity. She lost her mother at a tender age. Then she got my father and learned to obey. Obey no matter what the cost. And she lost us all.

The word Christian, I afraid, is quite often incorrectly defined. A Christian is one who follows the teachings of Christ. The Bible states "by their works you shall know them" When asked the most important of the commanents, Jesus replied "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and...

I know this may sound like a really crazy place to send you for help, but crisis pregnancy centers offer post abortive counseling. And I highly doubt they will stand in judgment of you. Most of the women who run them have had abortions, and want to help young women deal with the pain they have...

I am very sorry to read the devastating details of your past, particularly the death of your son. I cannot even imagine the tremendous pain you are going through. I think perhaps the best place to begin healing would be to allow yourself to grieve. Are there any grief support groups in your...

Definitely get a new therapist. Anyone who belittles your issue is not helping you. My first therapist did this. "It couldn't have been that bad" he said. So for 10 +years I tried to believe him. The problem was, it was that bad. And his saying otherwise only delayed getting the help I...

I am a Christian. I have been for nearly 30 years. Has it helped me in my recovery? Yes and no. It has guided my decisions and kept me from falling into even more dangerous situations. It has given me a framework for a fantastic relationship to a loving and gentle husband. I have...

He is coming to your store every day to use the restroom? I don't think so. Carry pepper spray, at least.

I look at the hospitals near my home. Most of them are named after some Saint or another. Why? I ask a friend in serving in an impoverished nation, which groups are doing the most good in the area? The religious organizations, she answers, though she is an ardent atheist. Which group is the...

I can't say for sure either, but I help a client fill out all their forms for ssi, and have never been asked for bank account info., leading me to believe your social worker is probably right.

Dear "I'll make tea", I think it is pretty normal, but it can get easier. My h and I have "learned how to fight". We use a lot of "I feel" statements and active listening. I also try to make gentle physical contact when quietly confronting him. For example: H: Why can't you make a decent...

I can relate to much of what you have said. I have been in therapy for a long time now. I work hard on it, and have gotten so much better, but I still have my struggles. I don't mind the meds so much, but hate that ptsd is still such a disruptive part of me. A few weeks off the meds, and you...

I don't think you should be too hard on yourself about not escaping the right way. Just getting out alive is an accomplishment. Many women never leave their abusers. Many die trying.

Thanks both for the info.

I am so sorry, Sandra. Can you find a grief support group in your area? Grieving takes time. You may want to familiarize yourself with the stages of grieving. Cry. Cry, cry and cry. Throw thing. Punch pillows. Kick and scream and write.

I couldn't even read all of your first post. That psych is an ass and should be reported. Do NOT under any circumstances go back to this psychotic psych!!!
