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.

it is good advice to forgive her, it may be that you were alittle angry at your mother's death and that is normal and you may be alittle lonely also. it is good to try to close the past and forgiving is a good way. it was good you talked to someone about it, I hope that helped & you listened well, perhalps you should also pray, the bible says somewhere you should pray in seceret to god & I find it is a good way to help ease one's mind, dont look to far into the future, take one day at a time & stay positive thinking.

No artjack, I wasn't angry about my mother's death it was a relief more than anything - she had been slowly killing herself with booze and drugs for years. I had the last 4 years of her life to adjust to her dying. I had forgiven her long ago and really was at peace about the whole thing and I think that with prayer and talking to my husband and with giving it back to God, I am slowly coming to peace about it again. Thanks for your prayers and your caring words artjack

Thats great,sorry, my own mother & father is getting old and I will miss them whenever they go, Im not married & stay at home & I dont think I will marry anyone, I dread when the house falls silent then, I am the youngest & the rest of the family are married. I had a few breakdowns,I think in my case life will get sader as I grow older at least untill then.

I have heard it said that these kinds of memories will surface when you're in an emotionally safe enough place to deal with them.
Forgiveness is the key to healing. Always remember that.

Oh sweety, I pray that you have someone that you trust that you can talk to. You need to share what you have gone through. Speaking of it, in a safe place to a trusted person, will bring healing to you and it will lessen the power it has over you. I pray that God will place just the right person in your life and I pray too that God will let you know deep in your heart how much he loves you and how much He wanted you here on earth. Peace and more peace to youlostchildhood said:

thank you for answering my post, i want to believe in god and love, I just find it hard. at this time i do not have any one to trust to talk to. other members in my family abused me and still do. i try to belive god wanted me around, because, a copy of years ago i got very sick and died on the operateing table and went in a coma for 3 and one half months i was on life support, chest tubes trac etc. they told people i would die and if i lived never walk, talk agian. I can talk, walk, drive, it is just harder to due. lost childhood

Growing up with repressed memories often times leaves us quite disoriented and disconnected from our family and even ourselves.
Having recovered from MPD/DID myself, it was the love of the Lord and the healing from the Holy Spirit that took the shattered pieces of my life and soul and mended them.
I try not to push people into remembering too quickly in our own ministry that counsels others with the same issues. I just let the Lord lead and guide. He knows what is best and how much we can handle.
While my own journey toward healing and wholeness took about 15 years, it has totally brought me closer to our Heavenly Father and helped me with security issues with a parental figure.
Our Father is totally awesome!
