I don't know if this is one that you will deem pertinent, but I feel a need to fess up myself. I didn't mean any offense to anyone and I posted a reply to a forum about leaving a forum because of disagreements about opinions. I am a new member myself but I felt secure enough to give my opinion...

A person's opinion is definately what makes all of us individuals. Each person has his or her own. Perception, reality, truth, whatever the situation, it comes down to a matter of respect. To be a certain kind of person you need to act like that. I don't ever claim to be the brightest or the...

C- The confusion is normal. Even though it is just mind games and name calling, it is still abuse. It will become more and more real every day until you are out of it. But with everything else it will be a while before you can get free, completely. You are showing such strength by getting...

Sweetie, it is definately NOT your fault!!! You are a wonderful and caring person that you gave up everything to be with him. You are in no way pathetic and you will never be able to do enough. The first step of an abuser is to separate you from your entire support system, then they brainwash...

It isn't worth the stress, but with the perceptions we have, it can't be helped. I feel so bad that you even have to go through it though. I understand because mine is just a neighbor that complains constantly about my kids being noisy. They don't play in their bedroom because he bangs on the...

Unfortunately, it is a catch 22. We don't assert ourselves, we lose credibility. We do, and the US looks like it is trying to take over another country. I agree that in the long run every war we are involved in we are left to pick up the aftershocks, but where should the US draw the line...

I am going out of my head with what to do about my youngest. He has started play therapy and is constantly being re-traumatized by his school. He has started calming himself with pain. It started about 3 months ago and is getting increasingly worse. He came out of his room last night scared...

I can see what you mean about sympathy versus empathy. I recently had to face issues with my ex that put me into a state of almost nervous breakdown. I couldn't take it anymore and I passed out. When I woke to my friend shaking me all I could hear was his voice and picture getting used by him...

Thanks for that, Anthony. I have found after a mini nervous breakdown and a twenty page letter of release that I feel more apt to shake it off a little easier. And, hopefully, soon I will be able to let it out of my everyday life. I have a bonfire scheduled to burn the letter and release it...

I can see why you say that the forum increases symptoms. But I would have to say as well it made a difference for me as I was exposed to some of the things that I never would have realized about myself. As well as how I interact with my children. I know now that I need to step back and take...

I got stuck with "Aimee, what you gonna do?" By the time I was 12, all I wanted to do was smash the record.

I so believe what you say about if it works then use it. I just got a series of rose quartz to put under my childrens pillows and they seem to sleep better. They know that it balances the heart chakra and creates peace within the family. I also use a lot of the aromatherapy when bathing for...

I saw this and know of what you speak. It is a sad commentary of today's justice system that there are so many who get away with their repeated battery and abuses against the ones you love. My prayers go out to you and your family, and to the precious children of which you speak. I don't mean...

Vandylocks, I feel your pain so acutely it hurts. I know the frustration of trying to get them to understand what they could be doing to make it worse. I am going through the same issue with my youngest and his school to the point that just today I reported the principal to Child Protective...

P.S. Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia helped the most. And I have the hips to prove it!!!

She knows you needed to talk to her for all this time and you were (unfortunately) put on the back burner. You are her daughter and (again, this is only my opinion) should always come first. I think it might be more difficult for you to separate from her because she was always in your life...

I am Amy. I am a single mom of three wonderful boys and a SAHM. I survived 9 years of beatings, cervical and uterine cancer and am currently kicking the crud out of ovarian cancer. I am about to celebrate the anniversary of my divorce (YEAH!!!) and I am about to start school for med...

That has been the hardest part. It has progressed him to such a state at times that he has started using pain as a calming tool. I cry for my poor kids sometimes when I see that he has picked his fingernails off to the point that is bleeding and sore. We went to the boys Psych today (yeah...

Definately. I am in WI. I would love to hear from you. I appreciate and welcome any input where my kids are concerned. I don't know how to personal message but feel free to PM me ( I am computer illiterate in some areas still).

You are right that I do understand the teachers point of view. I worked for a year as a TA for Head Start and worked with 1 teacher in a class of 32 children. It is not an easy task and I do commend a lot of teachers for the jobs they do. My oldest sons teacher is a jewel as she is more of an...

That was the best for me too. Mine was brought on by a hysterectomy due to cancer. Thank goodness no hormone therapy, I don't think I could take it.

Another by Cyndi Lauper is Time After Time. And my personal favorite....Freebird by Lynard Skynard. The full guitar riff just moves me.

I was so angry the other day and I couldn't believe what my son's T was telling me when she called the principal of my sons school. Here is a quick rundown...My youngest son has been repeatedly triggered by one teacher at his school. He goes into these tantrums and they don't know how to...

Giggle...I thought I was one of the only ones that had that problem. I usually wake up with my youngest draped over my head though.

I hope you don't mind the extra imput but I notice fluctuations and I have menopause. Always worse when the mood swings.
