• 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.

Today was the world's most craptastic day EVER for me. I woke up to all these relatives from places I dunno whom I'm not very fond of, and when I turned to look at the clock, it was past eight. I was supposed to go to the opening for the Dark Knight, and I had completely missed it. I called my friends to tell them I was sick and couldn't make it, and my day went from bad to worst. You see, there are maternal family problems that I'd rather not talk about, but there's alcohol abuse and divorce and drug addictions involved. So, what happens when all this tension happens?
My mother fights with my grandmother, and I don't mean grade school pigtail pulling. I mean my mother grabbed my grandmothers hair, my grandmother had to bite her to let go, the whole shebang. And guess who had to break it up by throwing the closest thing I could ( a picture of me and my father) to the wall. My mother called grandma names and started breaking the plates, and I was distraught. I had to call my father, my uncle and my godparents before I could do anything else.And to top it all off, my P.P.D(Paranoid Personality Disorder) was at it's strongest, and I swear I was an ace away from stabbing someone through the heart with a knife! Right now, everything is calm. My younger cousins are asleep, my uncles are trying to calm my mother and grandmother down, and I'm here, sharing my story to the world. So if you all could just find it in your hearts to pray for me and my torn-apart maternal family(because my paternal family is as thick as theaves) that would be appreciated. God Bless!!!:angel:

Seriously if that was the worst day in your life you should consider yourself blessed. You can still visit the dark knight movie, no one got killed, and it was a fight between your grandmother and your mother, its not really a problem that you have with either of them ,and its them that have to sort it out between eachother, although when it comes to physical violence it definitly becomes serious. Real time problems in woman will be expressed rather vivid in emotional distress rather then tackling the real problems,

I say that people who have personal problems with eachother won't be having a fun time if they are put together. Its better therefore if those family members don't come together anymore. Let them spend time somewhere else to cool off, and refocus on finding god and forgiveness and re-adjust on how they think about eachother, instead of being put together and going in a frenzy.

Seemingly your family has a fest of problems that have been caused by drugs and alcohol , in my experience you need to push these things out of your life as soon as possible along with the people who have these problems. It takes more then a lifetime to repair the damage of it all.

How about spending time with the friends this week, or at least as long as your disfunctional family is together.
