    • Close ADHD / ADD

      My 8 year old son was just diagnosed with ADD and my 2 1/2 year old is showing signs of ADHD as well. My 11 year old has anger management problems and my husband is a dry drunk. We are now seperated, since Aug. 9th,2007. I need support.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have been recently diagnoses with mild to moderate depression. My husband is an alcholic and does not take responsiblity for his failures. He is always blaming work or me for his drinking. We are in the midst of seperating and he is not making this any easier on me. I feel like I'm a slave or a maid around the house. We have three wonderful children. One who has anger management and another with ADD. I am currently on meds but I don't take them like I should be. I need help big time.

    • Open Anger Management

      I need help with Anger Management. My 11 yr old son suffers with it. He has in the past threatened his younger brother with sharp knives, his fists and his hands. I'm afraid that one day he just might do something horrible. Besides Counselling, I don't know what else to do for him. He is not on any meds as of yet. Please help!

    • Open Separation Anxiety

      I'm having somewhat of a hard time with this condition. Through out my life people that I have loved and cared about have either hurt me terribly or has passed away. Just before something important has come up in my life. Now my husband and I are seperating after 12 yrs of marriage. This seperation is what I want but still having a hard time with. Can someone please help?

    • Open Breast Cancer

      When I was 26, I had two lumps removed from my right breast. Now almost 15 years later, I'm diagnosed with two small lumps in my left breast. I am going in for an ultrasound soon. I am terrified because my grandmother past away from breast cancer at the age of 49.

    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      My ex and I seperated about 6 months ago. I have had enough of his drinking and his lying. I was tired of walking on eggshells and jumping everytime he wanted something done. I have 3 wonderful children from this marriage. We were marred for about 12 years. He was moving further away, which also pushed me away from him.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      We did go to marriage counseling and lasted 1 1/2 sessions. The counsellor couldn't understand why we were still together. It did not work at all.
      Forgiveness Not Working
      I have tried to forgive him, but the more I forgave the worse he got.
      Leave Working / Worked
      We have seperated and the children and I are much happier now.
      Love Not Working
      Same as forgiving, the more I tried, the worse he got.
      Music Working / Worked
      I love to sing and listen to music. It's a therapy that I highly recommend.
      Pets Working / Worked
      Shortly after the seperation, I went out and got 2 kittens to help the kids with the transition.
      Reading Working / Worked
      Anything that keeps my mind occuppied that will keep me thinking of everything he has done to the children and myself.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      I don't have family that I can turn to, but the few friends that I do have, have been very supportful.
      Support Groups Considering
      I have thought about it but don't know where to go.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking is a great way to get rid of anger, if you have the right person to listen.
      Time Working / Worked
      After fighting for atleast 5-6 years to save my marriage. I feel like I'm ready to move on with my life.
    • Open Families & Friends Of Addicts

      I'm a recently single Mom of 3 wonderful children. My ex and I seperated 7 months ago.
