• 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

I'm seeing some more similarities between myself and my mother... and it's frightening. I've worked EXTREMELY hard to overcome a lot of issues that I've had.... to work through many tendencies I'd had to do some of the same things/handle things in the same way that my mother always has. She's was very abusive to me growing up... and my greatest desire is to NOT turn out like her... to have the ability to be a good wife and mother one day... to live in a healthy and loving environment... to promote this through my own daily actions and habits.

Please pray that God continues to reveal to me issues that I need to work on that I've recognized existing in both me and my mother. Please pray that I'm able to conquer this battle and am able to live a healthy, normal, loving life... full of friendship and family... and love. This is SO important to me... pray for ME to be stable. I want to be good for others, not bad... and I want to be good for myself also. :prayer:Pray that I'm able to support myself very well also... I'm about to move out of my parents house. Pray that any stronghold satan tries to have on me... that God will be there to defeat him. I've moved forward in some positive ways and pray to goodness that I don't relapse.. but continue to move forward.
