Reply to Post partum depression strikes again? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I agree... I have to be honest and admit that I have no children so have no personal experience, but I have plently of friends and family who have had kids, one in particular suffered from post partum depression. She admits that during this time she felt completely like a different person, kind of like she was shadowing herself, but she never contimplated hurting her baby. She still knew the difference between right and wrong. Her solution

I even got some help laying the foundation it’s a little bumpy in places but never the less is quite strong. I think the secret is to allow the foundat

Reply to My Dad in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

I can understand what you mean. I was very similar except with my mum. The best thing I 'discovered' was that she is a real person, by that I understood that she is still learning about life and trying to find her place, just like me. Now we can sit, comfortable in silence. It doesn't happen overnight, but it does get easier! Good luck!

I am so tired, but I can't sleep. I hate nights like this. I end up lying in bed tossing and turning till I eventually drift off only to wake and find that I actually only drifted for about 5minutes. I get up the next day and feel like shit, no motivation, cranky with everyone and everything, and oh yes, still tired!! I've tried the common theories of insom

Daddy Dearest,...please get well in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

When I was a little girl I used to think my parents were invincible. They were there to protect me, teach me, and help me grow. As a child I was what could only be referred to as goody-two-shoes, the apple of my daddy’s eye, the memories I have from then are brilliant and give me so much comfort. When I started to grow as a teenager I started to change, I became…well…
