News of Significant Others, Family & Friends Forum

Hi, I’m glad to meet anyone here who frequents these forums.

I just decided to begin a new stage, of seeking next-level understanding of my partner’s situation and diagnoses, and anything that could help; and self-help and personal support.

For the last nine or so years, I’ve been in a longterm relationship with a woman, aged ...

Any one with the above that could help me as my boyfriend has just been diagnosed with it..Need help getting my head around the symptoms etc

So I've recently begun to think my ex-fiancee might be a narcissist. We bought a house together in 2017 and it's been a downhill slide since then. I've been accused of creating a toxic household, of not respecting her opinions, excluding her from decisions, making her feel like she's not a "full partner".

****Trigger Warning**** (Not exactly graphic, but very descriptive of behavior) I know it's long, but please bear with me.

I don't know if this is the type of experience that belongs here, but I was drugged and assaulted by my roommate years ago.

I was molested for a brief spell at a young age , and ...

Hi guys,

I never thought I would join a forum like this but I literally have no where to turn to, Ive been crying and silently screaming all night. My friends would never understand me, even the one that I trusted to be more understanding judged me which led me to break.. So here it goes.

My mom was abusive, but she was also selective. Of 4 of us siblings she only ever physically abused ...

My great grandfather was what could be considered an early pioneer. He bought land up on a hill in a time and place that was, at the time considered out of the way. Eventually the area would become highly populated, and the infrastructure of the town built around it.

It went untended for a decade or two, but retained its reputation as something nice. My grandfather began clearing it out and returning it to its ...

I will try to keep this short. I have had two breast cancer dx in less than 12 months. Lumpectomy and radiation, no chemo last year and this year is exactly the same. Both breasts have been affected and a bilateral mastectomy is going to be very welcome.

My brother and I didn't always have a difficult relationship but with the hatred of me by both his ex-wife and now his current wife has ruined ...

Hi everyone,

I would value some input from those who know more about this disorder than me.

I have been married to my wife for 15 years and its never been an easy one. We have a 9 yo son and she no longer talks to any of her family, or has any friends.

There are the general things she does, like if I want to go out, even if its early evening to play ...
