You're welcome. How are you? I believe hope all's going well with you. I've been away from the site for awhile helping my son with wedding stuff.

CJ, you're right in that not everything she did/said was wrong. Just the majority of it was. I know how hard it is to have to cut ties with family, it really sucks, but sometimes it's the best thing we can do for ourselves.

@Heather, it's not!!!

@Simply Simon, well put, I like the way you stand up to ignorance without being the person who feels the need to belittle anyone. That is a rare quality that there have been many times I wish I possessed.

@FridayJones, I'm so sorry to hear things didn't work out the way we all wanted them to for you. I know what it's like to be laid up for a long time. Glad you're feeling better now.

@Alistaire, you can't be serious. Even someone that is perfectly healthy would and should be offended by that type of behavior.

@Simply Simon, first I want to say "You Go Girl" for putting all these feelings into words. I also want to apologize on behalf of every decent, respectable male out there. I never could understand why anyone thinks they have a right to do anything like that. They're doing nothing but letting...

Aireanna, wow you are an amazing lady. To endure the pain and abuse that you have is incredible. My heart goes out to you. Please continue with this journal and I wish you the best of luck on your journey towards happiness.

@Cj77, the remembering part is really a bit**, but you will get trough it. The other side is pretty damn nice, most of the time.

@Anarchy, one of the amazing things is that "Chump" and the Clintons have been close friends for over thirty years. It leads my wife to believe that his getting the Republican nomination was all staged, (not that she has any reason to be a conspiracy theorist). @scout86, I couldn't agree...

@Nicolette and Anthony, you both have my most enthusiastic CONGRATULATIONS, I can't wait until I get that piece of good news.

@Cj77, it will get better, I promise you that. I am proof there is a "normal" life on the other side of this Hell you are going through. Hang tough, I'm pullinng for you every day. PM me anytime you need to talk. I will be happy to help in any way I can.:hug:

@Statsattack ,it is possible that she just is not in the right space for a relationship right now. I know that is hard to hear. Give her some time and space and maybe she'll come back. Just prepare for the worst, she may never come back. Sometimes it just works out that way. I'll keep my...

@Justmehere, as a supporter I would recommend you re-read @Sweetpea76's first post over and over. She really hit the nail on the head, If you don't have great communication, it will be twice as hard for your supporter to support you. As far as starting a relationship goes, you need to have...

@Bfab as a supporter myself, I can't begin to tell you how much this site has given me, in terms of hope and friendships. Over time you'll find that you'll be able to conect with people that are both supporters and sufferers. That's what's so cool about this site. Everyone is here for you when...

@Statsattack, welcome to the forum. As a supporter myself, I can tell you there is no better place to learn about PTSD and how it affects the ones we care about. Keep reading the different forums and hear some of the stories of the lives these brave and wonderful people have survived and are now...

This is a great thread for someone who is Bipolar. You always forget what you're thinking, doing, talking about, because your brain has already moved on past that thought.:joyful: You take your bedtime meds in the morning or your morning meds at night. I could go on all night, but my dog needs...

@Katiee_co, my wife has the ssame issue, she can't find a physical safe space anywhere, no matter how hard she tries. Her T had her picture the most serene place she could imagine then draw a picture of it. It turned out to be a field of flowers on a mountain cliff. Now when she needs to go a to...

@hangingon, man do I know how that works, plans made this AM, canceled this afternoon type thing happens all he time around here. Flashbacks and triggers can destroy your social life. But after awhile you learn to adjust, keep everything tentative in your own mind, ( out to dinner? maybe, but...

@Jen93, I'm do sorry this has happened to you. No no deserves to be lied to or deceived. As far as nobody liking you, dont give him the power to take that from you. You had the courage to walk away from him, now Please have the strength and courage to make the of best life. That's how you take...

@Jen93, don't let your parent or anyone else convince you have stay in a relationship with someone you don't feel comfortable with. The length of time you're with someone has no bearing on the matter. If you don't want to be in a physical relationship with someone that's your choice to make...

@HangInThere, while I still encourage you to be on guard, don't let your caution turn your responses to him cold. It sounds to me he's giving all he can at this time. Accept that with joy in your heart and hopeful wishes for the future. Yours in hoping for a great future with the ones we...

@Cj77, It is not uncommon to take a considerable time to find the right T, one that you can work with and be comfortable with and confident in. Once you find that person, healing can begin in earnest. I wish you all the best. @Junebug, thank you, I wish for you the same.

@Heather, hey, I like that icecube idea. Do you mind if I borrow it from time to time?

@Jen93, Go ahead and have a good, scratch that, Great cry. Then hold your head high and be proud of the fact that you recognized an unhealthy situation and removed yourself from it. Congratulations, that is one of the best/healthiest things we can do for ourselves. Don't cut, be proud! :hug:
