• 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.

...about this situation. So I have been interested in this girl for quite some time now. I had been interested in getting to know her. She also happens to be my best friend's older sister. She is also a Christian. Well, I was over at my best friend's house and I heard her smart off at her mom and say a curse word to her in front of me. My best friend then said "Ooohh Daniel (me) heard you say a bad word". Then she replied "Well, I'm a big girl now". Her mom who is a very sweet hearted lady didn't try to fight back, and I was really really bugged, upset, and angry at what she said. It really surprised me considering how sweet and quiet she always is in Church and how sweet and quiet she seemed in High School. With that one comment I pretty much lost interest. And I can't stop thinking about how disappointed I am. The previous night I had a dream about this girl that brought a lot of anxiety on me.

In the dream she was cursing and acting angry, and I just couldn't believe it. I tried to shrug it off as a dream, but whaddyaknow, next day dream comes true. Sighhhh....I had prayed about this girl and I really wanted to know her better. Is something like this too small to worry over? Cause I can't get over it. Is something like this really enough to stop pursuing someone I was really interested in? I wonder if I am overreacting, or if this is a sign to wait or move on?

My mother is a sweet, woman who would do anything for her kids. My sisters tell her to shut up and curse and all the sorts. my mom takes it the same way as this girls mom. While I may not have been happy with them, I wouldnt exactly take them out of my life. Best thing for me to do would be to speak with them politly.

I remember when I used to speak to my mom like that in front of a girl, man did this girl give it to me good lol..nontheless I deserved it..

What im trying to say is, dont be so quickly turned off just yet, maybe you can try to get you best friend to speak with her and ask her sister to tone down the language.

Does this girl like you? If she does it might give her a reason to stop swearing :p

I had never heard her curse before, but it really felt like a stab in the gut when I did hear her. Her character seemed so off. Maybe she was just having a bad day. Oh and I also have a sister who curses my mom out all the time as well as me and my grandma, so I can relate to what you are going through there. And I still do love my sister. I don't plan on taking her out of my life. But then again she is my little sister. I have grown up with her all my life. I was so put off because I was interested in getting to know this girl more in a dating like relationship. But this really turned me off of that. I got some advice from some other Christian friends, and they told me it may be best to move on. Still very very disappointing though.
