We aren't in a movie. This isn't going to happen to you. I could watch a zombie apocalypse movie and believe it's possible when I walk outside into the world but it isn't gonna happen. I could believe The Notebook will happen to me. It won't. Dont let fantasy take over reality. Let's...

I think a councilor can help you with this fear. It's like a repetitive cycle in your mind that you need professional assistance to break. I understand your fear. I don't blame you. But you HAVE to KNOW it's not legitimate. Believe me. This fear of yours is not rational and you're being...

Space. Let him take responsibility for his health. It isn't up to you. And all the love you have can't cure it. Don't believe the lie that it will. Space... then when he returns, set that boundary. He isn't allowed to do this to you and the kids anymore. His pain is not more important...

That's whats up. There is *enormous strength* in this. Hold tight to it because it's true and this belief will guide you to make the decisions that are neccessary. You can't tolerate illness so out of control that it will hurt you and the children-- no matter how much you love a person, the...

What a great idea for a thread, thank you for this! -I wish for emotional and spiritual health for my daughter and myself. -I wish for 2018 to be the year that I shed the grief and negativity from my soul and learn to love and trust to the best of my human abilities. -I wish for my life to be...

What an enormous stress for you and the children right now to have to suffer through. I cannot imagine. Sending prayers and love your way. Things will get better. This is all what needs to happen to change things for the better. Don't despair. God is with you and the kids and with him...

Holiday times are tough for most of us here. Got a few days off and plan on trying to sit down and zone into some distracting movies or shows to get my mind off of things. Anyone else? Looking for suggestions! Here are some of mine: Throw Mama From the Train Clifford (with Martin Short) Me...

It's also my opinion that she's a schmoozy ole hag.

Hm no I disagree. There were plenty in Hollywood who knew of his reputation, and an A list actress like Meryl wouldn't have *not* been privy to that info-- it's HIGHLY unlikely. There were A list actors who warned and accompanied actresses who they knew may be left alone in his company. Shes...

Perfect analogy!

Geez... bless you...

Yes. She probably is trying really hard to mask her suffering and although your intentions are good and sweet, she needs time alone with just a few consistent (not pushy or too many) reminders of your concern, love and care. Give her space, she will come around. She probably just wants to be...

I do this always. I don't trust any man around children and I struggle. It triggers me when I think these things and it's very painful

I do this too. I recreate my trauma and feel like it births itself into my present reality. Idk how much of it is me/paranoia/fear and how much is real. It's part of PTSD. It feels like a big mindf*** sometimes.

You're free, girl. Don't let them enslave your mind now that they don't have control over you physically. You'll feel controlled by them as long as you give them that power... your worry... etc. What has your attention and focus has mastered you. Don't let them master you anymore...

What have you done that would be grounds to take over your life? Sounds like if you believe they want to do this and are capable of it, that you should create distance. Don't give them ammunition. Don't give them things to use against you.

How close are you with your family? You may want to create distance between yourself and them until this paranoia eases. I'm not saying you are wrong in your paranoia... I imagine these are very scary threatening thoughts to have and I'm sorry this is bothering you. But you're an adult. You...

Has anyone threatened to do this? Don't you think your husband would protect you and not allow that to happen? We can worry all we want about things that could happen, but never will happen. It just causes unease in the present to worry about things that may not ever happen. But i understand...

Oh gotcha. Okay. What makes you think they will or that they have plans to?

Loop hole for what specifically? I don't see the likelihood of anyone wanting to bust into your life and take on your three youngins. It's an overwhelming thought. Plus you have a husband who I'm sure wouldnt allow it. Why would they want to take your kids from you? Where is this coming from?

I feel your anger and it is 100% justifiable. I don't want it to consume you. Let us know how the church service goes

Good job Eve! Speak your truth, girl!!

I agree with She Cat. I wouldn't throw your sisters place out for that. I've had way harsher ultimatums/rules and still coexisted. I'd be lucky if any of my family would open their home to me You can do it. Get some rest because it's almost impossible to make good, far reaching decisions...

You're not about ultimatums and you proved it. She's not about to give up her ultimatum and she proved that as well. You did the right thing. She needs more help that only a professional can give. If ultimatums are an issue for you, then so be it-- that's what it is and that's who you are...
