• 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.

hi my name is Jess im new here so i thought i might share my story with you.

from the age of 3 to 18 i was sexually assaulted by my dad i could not tell any one to eaily last year telling someone what was happening to me was one of the hardest thing i have done. i told my friend and moved out of home that day. that was not the hardest thing i have done eaily this year i pressed 9 charges on my dad and all that is still in the process of going to court. i still struggle alot with been hurt by my dad i feel yuck inside cos of what he did to me. i fear every night that he will come and find me and assult me again. i have blacked out most or my life but have clear pictures of what my dad did to me so that makes it hard alot of the time cos i cant remember good things about my childhood only bad. i am slowly over coming my fears and slowly been able to talk about it with people. through all of this though i have been able to get my life back on track i am living in a house with girls atm and no that i have people who are there for me and will help me if i need help. i still strugle with the pain my dad put me through every day but hopfully one day i wont stuggle with that pain at all. Through all of this i have became a stonger person and been able to deal with things and not just bottle them up inside any more. i praise god for every moment i am living here

You did well to report him. But it's painful having to do that to your dad!

Abuse can destroy a person's life. Wonderfully, we can walk with Jesus back through those awful times and experience a real healing. I hope you have someone who you can do that with.

Bless you

Jess Your story could be mind I was 3 years old and the abuse went on for years.....But it wasn't my Dad but my grandfather ....Thank you for being that brave person and talking about your story I know that healing is a slow hard process... but we can be free and even have times when we don't think about it at all..... Put your truth in God and believe that there is nothing that he can't fix.....May His protection surround you with his perfect love, peace and joy ....love Jane
