• 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

My dad had bi polar and was violent before he became disabled, and then my mom took care of her for long years and now she is also sick and goes to hospital frequently, my sister was brain controled and washed by dad , treated him like a king still, and wanted us to do the same, my mom tried to tell her many times she was very tired, but she does not listen, same time my mom was easisly to be controled by my dad mentally too...
now they r asking me to take care of both,
but i was abused all my life by them, beating, accusing, etc,looking down everything i do,
i feel overwhelmed, i ran away from this when i was younger and went to work in far away places,they felt angry about that too,
but now i m back i still cant handle them, same time i have compassion and care , they r still my family, right?

Do you have any public health/mental health support services in your area? It sounds like health professionals/social workers etc should be involved with such serious cases like yours.

Please seek help for your own mental wellbeing and your family's.
