PS: I am recognizing the triggers... and validating your efforts... don't think I am not seeing that you are working it. Tortoise11, I won't enable the mania nor the depression. I am trying to...
Wow. Lots of communicating going on, but not the way each partners wants it to go. You both are not listening to each other. My way or no way? We should not pick sides here. I understand the pain of...
What's your game plan then, Voix?...
Anytime you're in the mood for a good fight, I'd be glad to take ya on! LOL.... You'd beat the crap out of me, I am sure, but we'd laugh our heads off doing it.... I know how you feel. It is an...
Agreed 150%.......... :)...
Can you get a few days of respite care so you and your son can take some time off and go on a vacation? Does your wife need 24/7 supervision at this point? Are you able to get family support? A...

LindzKaye09, This is a situation that requires immediate help. We can really push others to their limits, but they ultimately have the control to either hurt us back or not, fully knowing we are in a...
In a therapy session, years ago, I was asked to write my epitath.... it kinda put things into perspective, I guess. Made me wonder how I perceived my life, myself, how others may view me, at the time...
Ever write your own epitath? What would it say?...
This is great news. All the feelings you are describing are so normal! Good luck and enjoy yourself!...
Is it bad of me to say I do not think anything is wrong with you, per say? I feel, have felt, and probably will feel the same way again and again... and survive it all over again and again. It is...
I really love lightning and thunder storms! And I have enjoyed walking in blizzards in deep freeze temperatures in the great white north. Watching crazy big wave action on the Great Lakes or ocean...

It's Genetic is making fine sense right now. I also believe in documenting the threat and the destruction of your personal effects via a police report. Distance allows one's heart to soften to the...
Incredible thing to be going through Bill. You must feel exhausted. I am wondering if you should make a police report for her threatening you and the destruction of your personal effects? It is good...
Belle, The way you described coming home to his mood, and the discussion that ensued as well as the following morning, struck me like it was right from a movie scene. Almost surreal. The...
On an energy level, I felt it immediately in my solar plexus... slightly off to the left. Tell us more about your process while painting this portrait. I would enjoy hearing about it. Thanks....
I joined this forum because I needed the fellowship. I needed to reconnect emotionally and feel I was okay. This morning, I am pulling away. Thanks for letting me share for the little while I was...
