• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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

My Grandma & Unlce are stopping by this week to visit my parents & other relatives. I HATE them & have a lot of resentment/anger AGAINST them for personal reasons and it's a LONG story. Since I still live with my parents, I can get away & go somewhere as long as possible but go back home to sleep etc.. I'd stay at a motel but don't really have the money. I don't have any close friends IRL that I could stay

Keep a forgiving heart. Sometimes it's hard, but life is just too dang short to hold on to grudges and to be bitter. ... although, having said that ... it's not always that easy. ... Life gets in the way sometiems. I'll pray for you and your family.

Hopefully time will pass quickly for you. Maybe you can pick up a project to work on while they're there so you can keep yourself busy and otherwise occupied.

Behave and Be Good. ... or at least try. :p

I'm sorry you are overwhelmed with emotions over the relatives visiting. I know how hard that is. I have been in the same situation. What I would do is pray for your relatives, pray for whatever you want them to be and how you want them to act. Staying busy in your bedroom is an idea. You can excuse yourself saying you are not feeling well if you need to. I would just say hello to them. And maybe goodbye when they leave. The time will pass fast and it will be over with before you know it.
