• 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

every new day that goes by is one more day further away from that day my life was changed.

it was raining one night in april and i was at a friends house with some of his family. the cookout went fine, we shared laughs and had fun. but then at the split second that everything seemed to be going good his personality took a 180 degree turn around and his personality completely changed. i went to the bathroom and decided to leave, he came in the bathroom and pulled my pants completely off of my, put a tie over my mouth and pushed me into the bedroom. he did his thing and completely finished. mortified i ran out the door forgot everything but my purse and whatever was in it.

i drove home faster than i have ever drove home before. i am talking 90 to 100 mph. it took me 45 minutes to get home and i ran into my room and went to bed and hoped it would all go away. i woke up the next morning and it hit me that i should of went to the police station. i went that day and a rape kit was issued but it had been more than 24 hours so it came back negative. so it was basically he said she said and nothing came of a case.

as someone who has been through a situation like this the thing that kept me going is the constant love and compassion of my family. i also have looked at it as lust and love are completely different. and i didnt have sex because i wanted to. i had sex because i had no choice. my advice to anyone that goes through this is to stay strong realize that it wasnt your fault and you didnt do anything wrong. Fall back on your family, and friends and trust in God to bring you through

That must have been awful for you. I was attacked at about the same age in 1979. I was left for dead after being assaulted, tortured and run over with his car. I had to splint my own leg with a tree limb and part of my clothing. Then I had to crawl half a mile to houses to get help. it was a horrible experience but I made it through. It has taken years to deal with it. I would never want to go through that again but it has taught me and made me who I am today. I have learned to be understanding, and caring and have left the bitterness and anger behind. I thank God for bringing me through it and giving me a wonderful husband to help the healing process. We will survive my dear and be stronger because of it! :groupray:

Lilnifer and prayingwoman: Your strength and courage is gratifying and your testimony is so helpful to those that have suffered as you have. Please make this forum an oasis for your soul so that you can come to recharge and hopefully offer glimpses of hope through your own stories.

Bless you both and may He keep you.:crossrc:
