i have never posted my story on jwd and it was only recently that it occured to me that i should really make more of an effort to; here is the first part....sorry if its longwinded.... .
i was brought up in the borg from the age of 18 months old and as you can understand i have known little else.
previous to being in the truth my mother was an unwanted child and beaten by her mother, sure enough she fell into an abusive relationship with my father which left her with minus zero confidence and on the verge of a nervous breakdown; apparently my mum was considering throwing us both off a railway bridge she was that depressed and to her there was no point in living.
Glad to hear your story.
I grew up with my Dad' belt and wooden spoon. I had many a welts on my bottom. I can so relate. My mom's torture at the meetings was if I wasn't sitting still or I was misbehaving, nobody could see her doing this either, was that she would pinch me under my upper arm in the soft spot which would leave a bruise and a layer of skin missing, as she had long pointy nails.
What a cruel religion.

dear all,.
please allow me to vent off a little this morning.. as most of you will already know i have a rare form of cancer - mantle cell lymphoma - for which the prognosis is extremely poor (but there have been some people who have gone a good many years beyond the average).
i live in the uk where, not being a person of wealth, i depend heavily on the national health service (nhs).
Glad to know your fighting spirit is alive and well.
It is sad that medical care can be so expensive.
But Ian, please know that the love shown to you by us here on the board, is free of charge. We're here for you.

well, they came magazine selling door-knocking ingathering and judgeing witnessing today.
but first, a quick background.... my wife and i have a investment property 90 minutes away from our home (a mistake btw; always invest closer to your home!
) and we've been there (here) full time for the past several days doing some renovations.
Awesome anti-witness.

i'm at my wit's end right about now.. my 24 year old brother is staying in my home as a roommate.
when i bought the house 5 years ago everything was fine; he helped with the housework, cut the grass, and was fair with the amount of 'house food' he'd consume.. time changes everything.
he now does nothing inside the house: no dishes, no vacuuming, no dusting, no anything.
You've done way too much for him. Kick him out and make sure he doesn't have a key to get back in.
He's old enough to take care of himself. This will force him to take even a low paying job and to get a low rental unit.
Or if you don't want to throw him out yet. Have you tried buying food on a day to day basis just enough for your consumption that day? He can fend for himself if he wants food, there's none in the cupboard, so he has to go out and get it himself.

Its so good to hear from your Ian. Sounds like you went through quite a few horrible days. But I'm glad your back at home.

Hugs to Claire and the boys.
this is my first post.
i have read and benefited greatly from all of the posts on the board.
i just wanted to share a little of my story perhaps to gain insight into myself, and perhaps just to share with like minded people.
Welcome to the board. You'll find lots of support here.

i love it!.
Welcome banished1. I loved your first post. LOL.

okay, y'all, get out your experiences, thinking caps, and remedies.
jennie is 11 (will be 12 in october).
this year she has started to show all of the classic signs of puberty, and a couple of weeks ago had cramps about the same time as my cycle.
Sorry to hear of this Nina. Migraines are no picnic. I've had them since my 20's. Mine would come on like Legolas' has described. So basically you have 20 minutes to half an hour to get some meds into your body before the extreme pain hits. I find what works for me now is I take aspirin on the onset of the Aura. (I'm not sure if Jennie is old enough to take aspirin). but aspirin has the effect of thinning the blood so the migraine is not that extreme for me. I can basically carry on with my day. Otherwise there are quite a few drugs that I'm sure the doctor can prescribe for her.
Take care. Give Jennie a hug for me
