Hello, I'm writing to better understand the difficulties of a loved one.

Are there any resources describing the effect of early loss of parents (not by death, but by drug addiction) and the subsequent departure from home to live autonomously in early adolescence? And, perhaps, how to communicate effectively with somebody who has been through such difficulty?

Thank you. The request is vague, but I am willing and eager to read as much as is ...

I'm new to the forum and thank you for accepting me. I'm hoping I might get some help please.

I have a sister. She hasn't been physically in my life in about a decade. We fell out. We had a row and afterwards she ignored me and behaved like a bull with me. We never patched things up. She was very difficult with me after that row and she brought up other rows from our ...

My husband has bipolar depression and when he gets in a mania state on day 3 of no sleep he starts accusing me of cheating on him and really believes I am with men in front of him and other stuff. What is this and why?

Hello everyone, I have been in a rollercoaster of a relationship with my girlfriend over the past 2 years. It feels that it gets better for a short period of time and then something happens to make it worse again. I felt that this might be a good place to reach out and talk with others who might be in similar situations.

A bit of background: I am a 30 year old man and have ...

Hi all,

I did the mistake and checked her social media which I didn't look up for almost two years. I have seen that she has married and with a child.
