What Makes You Angry Today?

Dan cocker, stop the pity party and get a f*cking grip. I realy ain`t in the mood for getting in my motor and driving the couple of hours to slap some sense into you.

You have come so far, got your habit in check, and been sorting out you and yours. We all have our bad days, but you need to pay attention to what you have achieved so far.

If you want it, I can PM you my landline. But you are going to have to say you want it and are willing to use it.

If your in a bad place f*cking call me you muppet

Cheers mate. if I slip again, I might just take you up. I hope you haven't got a squeaky voice, it would ruin everything!

Where are the groups for vets in the UK? I think it could really help folk like me.

I will have a good gander later. Sounds more like what I Need now, and some medication. I thought I could just do it without! Nah. Maybe one day.

I have been giving my experiences too much thought, hard not to when your studying people and society. I just have never really been told that. Be nice just to have that group support in person too. I'm a chatty bastard.

 

[Anglesachse]

.................I'm a chatty bastard.

LOL, I must admit your avatar does look like Sweets from bones, he never stops yacking either.........:p

 

[Chin Strapped]

I just googled him, yeah I can see that resemblance. Wish I was that slim haha
I might be able to run again! I got a bit of a glare going on in that avatar.


There's real sense in veteran lead groups, I admire what you're Doing mate and hope it takes off like it should.

Don't know what to tell you other than ditto what Sarge is saying. Don't sweat the small stuff 'cause it really is small -- I've heard all the cliches too. And just when I think I have turned the corner, when my mind is on straight, I lie down to rest a bit and that one flashback that is Number One on the list of Do-Not-Think-About-This dreams, just comes up on the mind screen. No warning. No trigger I can find. The sweat starts, the anger, the depression, and then the numbness. And then the cycle repeats.

I think about how much real sleep I have had and find the answer -- most of the time. At least that's what the psychs tell me.

I am off all alcohol but need some pain meds that I am unsure as to side effects. And take meds to sleep that get me a few hours for which I am thankful. I got none for a long time.

I am better until the next episode. Maybe it's a gradual thing that goes up in stages I don't know.

All we can do is keep showin' up. Don't stay in the sack.

It's a new day. I'll be making an appointment with my GP today and remembering to go easy on the fine print from now.

With reference to your issue with your GF's daughter. What you have told so far just sounds like neglect. I say sounds like. Bruises are common in kids obviously, but if they are in random places and frequently could mean 2 things; 1, he's doing to her or 2 and more likely, he's neglecting her and she's having more accidents. This May coincide with be fussy upon return and generally not liking men.

I wouldn't want to jump to conclusions, but if that was my kid, I'd be speaking to social services again, informing them of my findings and that she won't be spending unsupervised time with him until I think things improve.

Neglect can quickly turn into assault. You're clearly not happy with what you're seeing.

Some people have no idea what it takes to raise a child.

I reported it when I went to the va last week. Talked with a prior case worker who told me to call social services. When the girlfriend called they basically said there's nothing to report and they wouldn't help her with child care for two weeks.

I told her to call the police for a welfare check on the father's house. The officer basically came over and lectured her on calling the police and said that she was just trying to use the police to get full custody of the child. They never did a welfare check of the father's home.

At this point, it becomes my issue. I have to pay for child care because the girlfriend can't. I have to support both of them. My therapist told me to ditch them because I'm trying to rescue them and no longer focusing on rescuing myself lol

 

[Chin Strapped]

Haha ditch them! That's for you to decide mate...your therapist doesn't mix their words. It is extra stress for sure.

See, we are taught to notice all these signs and when you do and say, the f*ckers ain't Iinterested. I'd tell your chick to refuse him contact, unless it's In a centre. Stick to her guns that he's unfit on his own.

I will never work in child protection because of the ambiguity and cocks that are social workers.

 

[combatgoldfish]

Just pisses me off that the kid treats the baby like a damn puppy he's borrowed. He reminds me of Forrest Gump. Except Forrest wasn't as retarded.

All this bs has shown me that I can't trust anyone from the government.

 

[Chin Strapped]

Petty sickening what some people are like...He sounds like a child.

It's a hard job, understaffed in the UK, have to triage the cases. Some huge mistakes are made. But that's working with the complexity of people.

Not for me.

 

[vikingr12]

Stimulus generalization is going from one incident to every incident. The government is not the bogey man. In this case, the police who responded are part of the problem. And rescue behavior is a sad old saying. It's like the one from the psyches that says you are trying to be a "victim."

Do what you feel like you have to do as your conscience, which is that thing that hurts when everything else feels better. Whether it's small or large is your choice.
