| This is hard flutter, I feel shame for speaking against my dad. But here goes.... my dad was an idiot, other times he was a scary and drunken bully. He always had an overblown sense self entitlement. He was a dirty and disgusting old man. He abused and put down my mother. Other times he was sexually... |

People are individuals and I treat them as such.
Some one said Loyalty is not a virtue..... I don't know, I guess I have a loyalty to my family, but maybe you are right. Perhaps it is best to judge people on their actions rather than some sense of a will to support based on loyalty. |

| Seems fair enough.... make him work to re-establish a relationship with you .... However having said this, my dad was abusive, he is not the type you want to confront. But ... deep inside he is sad. In a subtle way, check with your mum to see how he is coping with the break in your relationship. Cou... |

Not if it works. My joints are sore at the moment, wheat and milk makes my joints ache. |

No idea, she doesn't make sense. I don't think her behaviour is related to having a more neurotypical brain.
Maybe she is simply stressed due to money problems, and not behaving rationally.
Don't risk letting fees build up on a canceled card. |

In regard to the OP's question.
My thoughts: Our consciousness is due to the intricacy and extensive development of our neurological wiring. Computers are pretty straight forward in comparison. |
