You will know! The lightning holy when they kiss you, and when you stay up all night talking. The other big one is the feeling that you are "Home" when you are with them.

It's too darn hot!

Hi, Terri! Welcome aboard.

Thanks for this topic, Soufie! I just realized I cracked 1000 posts, a while back.
I didn't go back to see my first one, yet, but I will. Took me a long while to warm up. Shy me.

Stalking is horrible. It is invasion of privacy and breeds fear, destroying someone's freedom and independence. My best friend was stalked for 2 1/2 years by an ex of her then boyfriend. Crazy scary times. No one should have to go through that.

Taking some time to do research on someone you like is a completely different thing. Jmo.

I think you answered your own question. The answer is you don't. Stop trying to please them and see what happens. It worked for me, now I'M much happier.

I'm quite apply with what I get now. It helps keep me on track, and be prepared for things. Yes, I have weird dreams that often hint at the upcoming events of the day or week. As some of you may have seen me say before, I need a lot of think time, so ths works out well for me.

Happy happy!
Some of us Canucks were hanging out in the Canada forum-

Thanks for sharing!

That sounds like a marvelous solution! Glad to hear it.

Hey, there. Sorry to hear of your troubles. I've been through parenting issues, so I may be of some help.

Yes, there are two sides to every story, however, there is never any excuse for verbal or physical abuse. When I was 13, my younger sibling needed to move to my other parent's place because of home conflicts. I wanted to move, too, but it was not possible. I wish it had been, because it would have saved me years of therapy... Anyway, i made a plan and got out when I was 18. The chit hit the fan when I laid out the plan for the parent I lived with, but I needed to do what I needed to do for my own emotional health.

I agree completely with Soufie- make a plan. Not knowing your circumstances, i apologize if my read on the situation is eronious. it is difficult to have an exit strategy if you don't have financial means. I suggest doing some research into any youth emergency services in your area: counselling, shelters, etc. that might be helpful to your sister (and yourself) for coping.

Would your parents be open to information about healthy ways to support your sister? Even taking her to a medical doctor could provide strategies (if she is wanting to lose weight)- this is where I am unclear about your intention. Are Dad's comments unwarranted, or is she desiring to get more fit?- Sometimes a person's fear comes out in negative ways i.e. fear for your sister's health coming out as disparaging comments because he doesn't know of other ways to deal with the situation in a positive way....

You might just be shaking your head at me...That any comments to parents will fall on deaf ears. And I've been there. What you said about narcissism hit a chord with me. If that's the case, then if there is no other advice I give, it is to focus on you and what you can do for yourself. Changing / controlling others is not possible. Be flexible. If one method does not get results, try something else. Also, what was said about parents being a product of their own parents is very true. I now have compassion for my parents, and each of their upbringing experiences, but it took me 22 years, and 15 years of professional support to get there!

I wish you all the best. Feel free to message me directly, if you want.
Be well.

Filled a journal with poems, stories, jokes and writing just for me!
