• 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

Alright the other night i got angry at something a teenager said and i really let him have it ...i know i was wrong though maybe not wrong about what i said but for saying it to begin with but i really hurt him and i know this because he said so ..

I have apologized i have tried to reconcile but he won't have it ..

also he stayed up late arguing with me and he got in trouble for it for which he was severely punished by his dad i wont say how but it was bad

he blamed me for his punishment which spiked me of course ..

and so im just really upset about it ..he chose to stay up late and argue and any time he could have said i have to go . so im not responsible for his punishment and and his dad was unreasonable about it .

but to compound it i OBSESS over guilt its like i cant forgive myself and i think about over and over for days and days ,,and it even starts making me physically ill..

Have you called Social Services concerning this young man and the circumstances under which he lives? His troubles may stem from his treatment at home.

Also....perhaps hang up the phone if this happens again. It has upset you way too much for this to have been worth the effort to argue.
