• 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

Hi there.

I sometimes feel bad due to my father. He married this guy my age, because I wouldn't have a physical relationship with him. They prefer little boys together, and my father's husband is in jail now for kidnapping. After my father's husband went to jail, my father attempted stuff on me, but I broke away and left his house. I hadn't talked to him for forteen years before that, so I was sorta distraught when I found that he still wanted to have a physical relationship with me after all that time.

Thanks much.

:) Oh thanks much. I avoided getting together with him for father's day recently. It's been a few years since I've seen him in person. Anyway, time for me to head to the doctor's office. Hope to chat again soon if you still want to.

Blessings

Vince

:hug: I believe that staying away from toxic family members is very important (although sometimes tough to do). It's like exposing oneself to a cold. A person might try to resist getting a cold with all thier will, but if they are too close to other people who all have colds, the person will invariably get themself sick too. So I prefer to stay away.

There is no shame in staying away from people who are harmful to you. Even, and especially, if they are family. Anybody would be "sorta distraught" to find themself in that position.
I have to agree with you. I think we are often more affected by family members than non-family members, so it's even more imperative to get away from family members sometimes. Non-family members, even if they are toxic, usually don't have the same influence on us as toxic family members.
