| Good Evening Everybody, It's been a very long time since I've been here. The past three years have been terrible, the past ten months even more so. I had multiple family members pass away in a very short time. On the first day of November last year, my Mother died in front of me, quite unexpectedly.... |

| I'm sorry for the loss of the one you always held out hope for. She sounded like a wounded being that couldn't quite find her cure. I hope it's comforting that your love for each other lasted through everything. Thank you. She is currently haunting my dreams. Bits and pieces of the good (and great)... |

| One of the things that really saddens me about this is that I think she knew she had a problem, but didn't seek help. She had a problem with weakness. She didn't like it in others, and she sure didn't like it in herself. Once, in 2008, she told me her doctor wanted her to take a prescription to help... |

| Most people that have these kinds of issues, tend to have personality disorders, or other types of mental problems. Needless to say, these people have a natural gift for picking us out of the crowd. I know that everybody says to work on improving yourself first (which is a good idea), but other peo... |

| When I was 17, I met the girl I was convinced would be the love of my life. We never went together long at that time, as we were young, and there were horrific circumstances surrounding us. I'd see her again on and off for the next seven years, but always in passing. Still, that flame was still ther... |

| I sort of missed my ex for a few years. I'm the one who left her, as she showed all the signs of having BPD, but never sought help, or even acknowledged it. We were together a little over six and a half years, with a couple month break. It got better as time went on, but I've had no long term relati... |

Thanks for all the replies, folks. Pretty sure what it is I need to do, painful as it is. The past 120 hours of my life have been hard enough for me, and that just adds to it.
Sigh.
Anyway, many thanks. Going to hang with my pet rabbit for a bit and prepare for the night ahead. |

At the time my mother made the decision, I thought it was ill advised - my eldest sister had built on to her house so we could move there, ... |

Interesting.
I remember the election of '84. Weird time for me.
Anyway, in this polarized environment, I suspect we'd be at each others' throats in know time.
Right now, having to digest another spanner that has been thrown into the works. Going to share that in another section of the Forum... |

It has been a long time, but I need to ask about this.
There is a Dr. Paul Thomas who operates out of Portland, Oregon, who has some interesting thoughts on vaccinations and autism. Has anyone else here ever heard of him? |
