  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    what are you feeling right now? (13)

    Is there anyone you can choose to call up or go around to , or them come to you Tom? I don't know if they have any Coda groups where you are, but these groups all have people in them that really are trying to connect to themselves having had a lot of emotional abuse, and learning how to have...

    Maybe this post of Woven's is not a word 'in season' for you. And that is ok. Not all words are for everyone - right now. I know that part of your healing work has been around boundaries Tom, and some of the dysfunction and abuse you have talked of , as a youngster - certainly emotional...

    Desperately need help over my mother

    You mum has your other siblings for 'close care' for her . There are ways of caring or loving others- that are safe. Sending a card now and then....that sort of thing.

    Also perhaps email some churches and ask do they have house groups - these may be closes to where you live. Even if it is in a larger town - they may have a minibus and come and collect you and take you home - if they know your situation. Worth a try.
