Thanks for sharing your Auzzie traditions. These days I cherish my solitude. It’s safe. I will be resting and trying to kick an upper respiratory infection. No worries. It gives me a chance to binge safe holiday movies. Hope to send out some more cards to loved ones. But if I don’t, I don’t...

I can relate to what you’re describing. I’ve had to very unhealthy marriages. In the first one, he was just like my dad. That was an unhealthy choice and it seemed to make itself. In the second one, he was not like my dad. On the surface, he appeared to be a much better choice than my first...

Welcome Asterisk😊 You have found a very good place to fit in. Nearly all of my relationships are online with safe people who get it. You will fight safety, camaraderie, understanding, input about others experiences, and so much more. There is no need to ever feel alone again if you don’t mind...

I hear you. I have been thrown away and rejected all of my life. 63 years. I have learned that the only people that I can trust are the ones who are just like me. Anyone who hasn’t walked this road that we have walked doesn’t have the right to be in my life. Been there.. Done that. Not ever...

My son was the victim of a pedophile from birth to 3 1/2 years old. His birth father became a pedophile. I had no idea. The moment I discovered it he never saw his birth father again. These last few weeks have been very very hard on him. He has been severely depressed and suicidal. He has been...

I agree with Movingforward, better to walk away and keep your sanity, than to be loyal. I used boundaries to protect myself for two years before the other person finally got it. Now I’m living in peace and I will not feel sorry about it. Unsafe people are just that, unsafe! Been there done that...

You are who you are and you do things the way you do things. You do them that way for a reason. I have had a need to know why things have happened to me. And my mind enjoys thinking. I think we do it more because it’s comfortable for us and safe. The feeling area doesn’t seem to be safe...

Praying for you Tanishq. May the Lord be with you in your journey and may you feel His comfort and His love for you. Wanting to encourage you in your journey through my own experience. I have been through a season where I could not leave my home much because of my health. It can feel lonely, but...

Agreeing in prayer with everyone here for you. May the Lord be your strength and shield. May He be peace in the midst of chaos. 🙏✝️❤️

I am empathize as well, Luna. And I agree with arfie. Some of the negative things that hold us captive are really easy to manage once we recognize them and begin to lift their power over our lives as we believe the truth about ourselves. I was held captive for 60 years and lived my life from a...

Wow! It’s incredible how a medication can be beneficial to one person and so detrimental for another. Sorry for your experience.

Thank you so much Sideways for helping guide me to exactly what I need. So very, very thankful for this forum and for all of you. I cannot begin to tell you how valuable you have all been in my life and in supporting my son. Thank you so much!

Welcome to the forum Arcadius. So glad you found this invaluable community. I am not a veteran, but I have good friends who are, and you’re among comrades here. My son and I have had extreme trauma through every season of our lives. He was just approved for ketamine treatments to begin in the...

I just picked up my most recent Voice of the Martyrs magazine and began reading about voodooists in Benin. As I read about pastors being arrested and put behind bars, I recalled the memory of when my husband, a police officer, lied to the EMTs when they arrived after I called them for help. He...

I’m currently taking a combination of buspirone, bupropion, Zoloft and hydroxyzine. For the first time in my life, I think I’m actually becoming stable. What a relief.

Thank you for your input. My son is supposed to start ketamine treatments. They’re afraid to give him medication because of risk of suicide. So the infusion method seems to be safest. Does anyone have any experience with ketamine? I’m looking for what to watch for, possible side effects, or...

I have participated for many years with Voice of the Martyrs. It has brought me comfort, knowing that I’m not alone in my suffering, and many around the world are suffering so much more than I am. It has given me the proper perspective and the opportunity to pray and support those who are being...

Praying a covering over your relationship with M, for protection, and the peace that only God can give. 🙏✝️❤️ So thankful that we can hold one another up in prayer. Sorry that it has been a while, but God hears our prayers in his time, not ours. 🙏✝️❤️

I praise God for the opportunity to share with all of you here our burdens and our pain, as well as the blessings and joy that the Lord gives us in spite of it. Thank you for sharing this real song of lament and yet with God, peace. As a baby Christian in my 30s I grew up with Amy Grant and the...

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of...

Thank you for sharing VioletButterfly🦋 I don’t know if you have seen the movie “I could never imagine,” but it is about the lead singer in MercyMe. He had a rough life too. But God has certainly used him for good and for God‘s glory. As we go through these things, that’s where God wants our...

This was a hard one when I first heard it many years ago, but it is the truth and it is good. thanks for sharing.🥰✝️❤️🙌 When I finally dared to believe that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living (Psalm 27:13) there was a shift. No, the problems didn’t go away, but how I...
