• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

please pray

I have a friend who is in foster care. Her, her foster sybling, and fosater parents started coming to our church around 2 yrs ago. But in Feb. she came to me really upset. She said that she was switching foster homes, becuase her current parents said thatthey were getting to old to handle a tennager, which is redicoulous to both me, and anyone who knows this girl, becuase she's not a typicla rebelous teen, she;'s really sweet, and doesn't deserve to be tossed around like this. So she told me all this, but couldn't bring herself to tell anyone else at chuirch including PB, our youth pastor. So since that night was her last night she asked me to tell PB the next day on our ski trip, and if anyone else asks to let them know as well. SHe said she would emai me, but i have sent her more then one email and she hasn't responded. Before she left she siad she ws going to a family in the area, but htye were a different denomination, and wouldn't let her come back to our youth gorup. Pb was goign to see if he could talk to him, but i don't think he can find out where she went. I'm really concerned about where she culd be, and i'm prayibng that she is in a good home and iks able to go to a good chuirch. For all inkow she could be back in Florida where she came from, but i just don't know. PLEASE PRAY.

If shes moved from one to another foster home, there could be many reasons for her not contacting. I've been in the same situation when younger. It takes time to let go of your previous family and at present she may get upset at the thought of contacting you, another issue could be the denomination, she could be being stopped from Emailing you, or she may simply not have an up and running computer or it could be broke. Write her a letter and send it by post then see if you get a response.

I personally think she has been causing the foster parents a lot of trouble.Her foster parents couldn't handle her, nor the continues hurt that she brings on them. Call it rebellous, or normal but i don't think she has brougth in the happyness into the family that her foster parents hoped for. Such a case must always be looked from both sides, it also must be hard on her not having any parents and so little to relate to or to be happy about

*big hugs for her*

I'm not sure what Anti Existance was tryng to say, but I'm happy to report that she did e-mail saying that she is happy, she's going to church 3 times a week, and she just now had time to responde to a mountian of emails. Thank you for those who prayed for her.
