• 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

I feel like ending it.

I can't stop thinking about how crappy things are between my husband and I. I wasn't supposed to read his papers from his counsellor appt but I did. He said he is furious, betrayed, abandoned,Anger, fear, and disgust. This is how he feels if I tell him I had a bad day. His thoughts he wrote down are, "I deserve better. I want a partner." "When will it end? If its not one thing its another." he worries about me, the children and he wrote, "If it happens again (me going to the hospital) will I leave?"

I couldn't sleep last night because I was so tense about it all. I don't think I love him and I don't think he loves me.

But I can't. For the kids sake I have to live and for their sake I have to stay with him. :(

why does it say bless and do not curse when all i wrote was the word "and"? I am not someone who swears!

I just talked to my therapist about my husband's twisted examples of how I don't respect him (his way of making up after a fight), and she asked me if I validated his feelings and listened to him with an open mind. Why does it happen that when I talk about my husband's bad behaviour, some people like to throw part of the blame on me? This is the second counsellor who has told me, "It's your fault because...".

Then she said we should be going to couple's therapy and basically she is not the one to talk to about it (she's my therapist!). So tomorrow we are going to talk about why I am in therapy and if there is any point.

I feel like crap. Maybe I am to blame.

I'm sure that's a technical glitch, if it's a swearword that's filtered out it's one of those tags for every letter in the word.

I'm sorry you're going through a rough time. :hug:

Thanks. Yeah couples therapy is probably a good idea. I'm thinking that I'm going to ditch my nurse-therapist and psychiatrist. They are not helping me.
Things are good with my husband for now so I guess I need to be thankful for the good times. I went out with a friend tonight who has it worse and does not complain that she wants to leave.
Oh well. I'm freakin tired.
