Mother-In-Law Oh did I say that out loud - KIDDING I meant to say GROCERY

There have been lots of discussions on forgiveness over the last several years. Lots of good comments too. Maybe take the time to look back at previous threads in addition to the responses here. My 2 cents. You don't have to forgive but you do need to find a way to cope. If you DO chose to...

I am not a Doctor but I am pretty sure that surgical intervention is the definitive treatment. I hear your fears with the PTSD associated with these types of exams. Yes, you would have to face the exams but perhaps you can look at it as LESS exams as opposed to needing to have it checked many...

Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Let all those within this forum thread (well just me at the moment) know that the first Kris Kringle 2014 gift has been received. Give me a minute and I'll open it! .....KIDDING! ISH

I'm in. Regular cards is my preference. I seem to get the same e-cards from multiple people at Christmas. Plus, an e-card is hard to put on my refrigerator, :) (((Added to conversation by KP)))

I trust that all will go well when your husband goes with you to a session. I was invited once or twice for half the session. I read comments above and NOW I feel I understand, at least in several ways, what you all a sufferers feel as fears and concerns about your partner attending. I...

I apologize if this has been already said since I have not had time to read every word of every response. As others have mentioned, I to was aware that he had struggled over the years. Yet I was surprised and deeply saddened at the news of his death. Perhaps because of the sense in the past...

I'm in! If it happens, of course. LOL, was actually looking at ideas for gifts lest week!

OK, now I am hungry and it's just 8 AM

Or you won't by household cleaners because "Mr Clean" is there on the shelf (a brand of cleanser in the States)

I am giving you all your own choice! Shape - if you feel positive Wreck - if you are not having a good day

Still need info? Or did you get the answers you need? As for anesthesia, did they say it would be under a general or will it me what is called Moderate Sedation (sometimes called Conscious Sedation). I would think that a cystoscopy, which is looking into the bladder with a scope with the...

Ummmm (long pause)(Still a pause)

Gray day. Silver lining is that, because of the threat of rain, we have our youngest grandson as my daughter takes her other son to play in a baseball all-star tournament. you like that spel LOL, or "grey" if you like that spelling better. :)

As for the thread topic. I'd say yes or no. It depends on the current situations or how things are going at the time. I could relate two specific times that I mentioned things that I was worried about (a health crisis) and my wife ended up in the hospital the next day with thoughts of self...

Please forgive my response in 2 ways. First, I am not trying to be harsh and second, this is the only metaphor that comes to mind right now. I can't say I believe that I rely on my wife to disclose every "want". True, there should be clear communication but it is not always there. So, just...

My wife and I were casual church-goers when the PTSD reared it's ugly head. I was, frankly, concerned when she took a sudden sharp turn toward religion. Posted some of it at the time. We both are more involved now, my wife more than I. I know that her faith and involvement with the church...

Yes, family. LOL, I send a few Christmas cards out yearly to "family" here yet there are extended family whom I don't. :-) There are some I now consider friends for life. We may not talk as much lately but they are friends for life.

I think it was hard for me not to take things personally. Everyone is different, but it was a hard lesson.

A lot of good responses. Time may not be all it takes but yet it does TAKE time. No quick fixes. I used to be on the forum every day, multiple times a day. But, over time, things are better. I hope you are sitting down, the bad phase lasted probably 3-4 years for my wife. I know you say...

Wow 7 years! Lots of posts.but lots of positive encounters over those years, to be sure!

Just noticed a notification that it was my 5th year anniversary here. Hard to believe really! It makes me reflect on how things have changed for me as well as my wife. Changed for the better. My Mom was just commenting yesterday that when she talks to my wife, it's like the problems several...

I do kind of agree with Hashi in that we all have our own decision to make as far as how much we can take and what we are willing to live with. Yes, it could be a deal breaker. My primary point is that I won't (MY opinion) force my needs onto someone else, especially when it can have negative...
