• 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

Its been awhile but about 5 or more years back my step dad would beat my mom constantly. I saw a huge part of the abuse and it always scared me, my step-dad almost shot my mom (missed by only a few). He doesn't live with us anymore, he is a bum who leeches off of people. My mom has endured 2 abusive husbands, and I would just like all of you to pray for her.. I can remember alot of what happend and even today it gets to me, but my mom needs your prayers so much more....

Thanks for reading

It is always really hard watching someone that we love suffer in this way. I don't know what it must have been like for you as I have never experienced this, but I can imagine. It must have been awful for you. I pray that God will send someone to your mum to give her the support that she needs. I pray that God will comfort her in her healing. I also pray for you, that you will stay strong. Take care.

Blessings of peace to you and your Mom. I stayed in an abusive marriage too long and I know it was not good for my son who has had a lot of issues. But e is doing better now. I know it's hard but God cares and I believe He will place people in your life and your Mom's who will bring healing.
