• 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.

Hi Everyone.

After like 9 years I re-established contact with my brother. I mentioned this in a previous post in this section. I thought things were going to get better between my brother and I. We met and talked face to face in April. Since then we have had a few conversations that didnt go completely great but they went ok.

I hadnt talked to my brother in a few months. We've had some phone tag but thats about it. I recently found out that my mother has luekemia through my cousin whos mother is a match for bone marrow. Well I was wondering why my brother didnt call me to tell me. Well I've been trying to find out for the last 2 weeks.

I finally got in touch with my brother to ask him. He told me he didnt feel the need to call me because of how I've treated the family for all these years. I was like how I treated you guys. I avoided you guys because of the abuse i received by mom and dad. Well my brother laughed at me. He doesnt believe that my parents abused me. In fact he said He didnt feel like calling me also because of the way I treated my mother especialy. He accused me of abusing my mother which is totally a lie. My mother had a history of being physical with me. I defended myself against her. I would get physical because thats how I protected myself. My mother used to sufficate me. Well my brother said how can mom abuse you look at the size of mom and look at the size of you rich. I'm like what? I wasnt this size when i was 8. Anyway he asked me what did my mother did to me I told him about the suffication and he laughed i didnt get to tell him about the french kissing games that my mother did to me. All he could do is laugh and said I needed help mental help he said I should go admit myself. Then he threatened my life. he said if he had the opportunity he would kill me to get back at me.

He also said he was more mature than I was. I'm like yeah right your 31 and living with your parents and you have a job..I said get out of mommy's basement get a wife and kids then tell me about maturity. Anyway I was in bad shape after that phone conversation. I still am.

I feel very lonely. I dont consider myself to have parents anymore or a brother. My life is lame. No friends offline. When I go out I look to see if my brothers truck is around or my parents truck because I have this fear for my life..I need a new family I know this isnt possible. I just want a loving caring supportive, uncouraging family but thats not what I have...

In Christ

New life is possible, and you do have family...or at least a sister, if you like... My family is a little messy and lazy but they're friendly, and you may share if you want--I've got 6 bros and sis's, enough and to spare. And we don't mind what you've been through, we only want to love you the way you were meant to be loved, as our brother in Christ. :hug:
Talk to me if you're lonely...

:cry: I'm so very sorry to hear what's going on in your life. You really touched my heart. To have a family that is close, loving and kind is something that everyone should be allowed to have. Sorry you haven't known that for yourself. What your mother did to you as a boy is absolutely horrible and wicked. I'm sorry, but there is NO excuse for that kind of behavior toward your child!!!!

I will keep you and your situation in my prayers. Feel free to pm me anytime about anything - I'm always here to listen. :hug: :prayer:
