Sufferer. Attached please find 2 attachments documenting planned attacks on me and thus my family, likely from Military and Civilian Police and many others coerced to participate in campaign against me. Sorry for the attachments' length but it covers over five decades of my life. This is...

I'd love to knowI had a therapist on my side / at my back / working to make things work! Is there any standard way to make this happen?

I'm a Newbie so place my comments in a Newbie context, but as I see it you've accepted your situation already. And I think that's a good start, just because it mirrors the truth. Next, I think you should assess what you really want out of this somewhat lop-sided friendship. I think it's...

I complettely agree with your interpretation of "before the appointment" - with that as a guideline, 4 hours before the appoinment should be easy to accept as valid - this problem is clearly hers, though you have to deal with it :-(. I agree that the therapist sounds flakey and it might be best...

Re your "There’s other alternatives, for example radical acceptance, that may be worth thinking about. Forgiveness isn’t essential to recovery", @Sideways, is there a list of what is "essential to recovery", please. And where can I find info on 'radical acceptance'?

OK... But I'd say that relationships are not always a drain (YMMV) and if you had a good definition of what you're looking for, it could work. Not that I'm trying to force this on you, but you've changed your focus here: A day ago it was: "I'm ready to quit dating"... And now it is: "I am...

Well I'm new here and I'm missing what specifically you're looking for. Is it fair to say that: 1. You want a relationship (but are close to leaving that goal behind out of frustration after two 'duds'). 2. You want a relationship with someone who isn't a dud (as we all can likely agree with)...

A whole warmed 'breaded brie', with lettuce, beer to wash it down. T'was delicious and I could easily get small mouthfuls - it hurts like the dickens when my mouth opens wide enough for even a hot dog (just the dog, excluding bun!)

My experiences with my Dad varies a lot, partly because he changed so dramatically in his last 3 or 4 years. He stopped drinking except for reasonable social situations and he came to the realization that the one thing he wanted was my Mom, M. He wooed her like he was a teenager (in a good...

Thanks somerandomguy... Yeah, I had already concluded 'Not going to happen'. And I never would have thought anyone could "diagnose me purely from your responses on a message board". Rather, I was hoping that my CPTSD documentation detailing my experiences would be used for that (plus responses...

Oh, that is a disappointment, Friday. I was hoping to get someone here to confirm my C-PTSD / PTSD which seems to me to be pretty certain, but my psychiatrist doesn't think it is. I had to lend her my first PTSD book - PTSD Awareness by Dr. Ann Brown - for her to bone up on C-PTSD. I've now...

Hi All! I'm new here and I'm attaching two documents which tell most of my rather long story. It would be good if you haven't read my introduction here to read that first. For the main attached document, CPaL24.pdf (I usually just refer to it as CPaL), a few notes might be worthwhile, so I'll...

Hi Friday and AngelKeeperJ: Thanks for your welcome :-). I put in a short message after my first - it asked whether I could add some .pdf files and a PowerPoint show dealing with my experiences - and I'd still appreciate an answer to that, please. I'd also like to know what happened to my post.

Hello :-)! My story starts with my Father and my poor-student status (I was terminally bored) and his 'homework management' of me when drinking or drunk. He'd cuff me on the head and call me a "little c*nt" and other things when I couldn't or wouldn't do homework expected of me, and sometimes...
