  • 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

makes me totally totally insane!!!!!!  she can tick me off at the drop of a hat!! there is sooooooooo much involved that is just too much to go into here... BUT she's all into listening bout conspiracy and Art Bell stuff and just grrrrrrrrrrrrrr stuff that makes no sense. i tell her not to talk to me about those things when we are on the phone and basically it has come to me not talking to her maybe but 1 time a month and then its a quick call.  i just called her to tell her my brother broke his leg.. and immediately she's yellin to my step dad... "what did i tell you?? i told u somethin was gonna happen!!!!"  i dont like callin there anyway, but my dad wasnt going to do it ... so immediately  i'm like.. "u know, if i said that something bad happened to me you'd be sayin u were right about that too" then she got huffy (yah i know it was rude but i'm fed up with that) she said why are u so hostile??? its a GIFT and its getting stronger (she's talking bout seeing or feeling things before they happen) i said yah, so what.. u can control it... i do! its your choice to foster it... anyway.. so she got mad and said i should have had my sister call her and thanks for all my efforts and blah blah..  i know this sounds totally whiny and like i'm in the wrong and yah to a degree maybe but she makes me crazy with all the history behind my anger and i guess i just need patience.

Just take it easy, you only get one mom, 'sides, it could be a lot worse, my dad drank himself nearly to death and then took off on our family... Not that I've givin up on him, but hey, it could be worse. My sis can make me mad at the drop of a hat too, I gotta work on that, it's mostly my fault, boy... Family's a challenge sometimes eh? Good luck, honest.

Ah don't take it too hard on yerself. It's not your fault she has some crazy notions about things. She sounds a lot like my mom really so I know how you might want to roll yer eyes and shake yer head.

I'll pray that you guys can start to communicate in a way that doesn't irritate eachother. That she can get back down to reality, and learn that there is a certain art, even when you know something is going to happen, that is not the art, the art is being quiet about it!

I'm praying for you too pandora.

My relationship with my mother is a bit strained too. She never seemed to be able to forget anything. In my 30's she was throwing stuff up at me that I had done as a child. :(

Praying for you pandora! I know that my mom can drive me crazy sometimes too, but as Ryder said, she is the only one you have. I know that one of these days my mom won't be here with me and I will wish she was here to drive me crazy.

:hug:
