      From tracip June 30

      I understand your pain, right now you feel like you could just scream because the pain is to the bone. I have been there, i lost my only brother and sibling in 2002 to a car accident. I have been there, I understand the confusion of maybe should I be mad at God for allowing my brother to go. I just want you to know if you need to talk I am here. Traci

    • Close Families & Friends Affected By Suicide

      I lost my brother on June 5, 2008 to suicide. I'm taking it one day at a time and obviously you have your good days and you have bad days.

      Treatments

      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      NOt along of my friends know what it's like to loss a family member much less a brother to suicide. So mainly, all my talking is done online.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      I write alot, I draw as well. It keeps my mind busy or lets me get the anger out without taking it our on friends or family. It helps & in time, I'll be able to go back & look at what I've written & not add more tears to the pages or add more tear staings to my desk. Mostly my writing has been online so that others can read it as well, & either they can help me in some way or I can help them in some way. Sometime in the future I'd like to volunteer and help others dealing w/ the pain
    • Close Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)

      I am a single parent of a 5 year old little girl. We live with my mother and her husband and feel as though sometimes I have no control or say as far as discpline and standard rasing issues.

      Treatments

      1-2-3 Magic Not Working
      She likes to push buttons and has no guess you could call it respect for authority at this age already.
      Child Time-out Somewhat Helpful
      It works at times, depending on who puts her in there and for what reason. Most of the time time out consists of her screaming and throwing a temper tantrum until someone besides my self bails her out, no matter what my objections.
      Positive Reinforcement Somewhat Helpful
      I have decided to change my parenting ways a bit and have started doin the positive reinforcement, however I'm finding out that she now expects a treat every time she is picked up from the sitters, when I come home from the store or when her grandma comes home from the store.
