| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

Nicolette, I'm so sorry about the situation. It's unfortunate that some people are not capable of seeing past their own needs and desires, or just don't care. |

Nicolette,
I am sorry you have to be witness to this situation. Thanks for sharing and curing my curiosity. I have always had a soft spot for kids, so I can imagine why this is difficult to deal with.

There are some people that are in fact narcisitis...I don't know if it gets this bad. There are other syndromes where a person does not get born wi th natural instincts for being nice due to a problem in brain development....if caught at an early age and only if in an adult if you can make them beleive they might need some help. That is just my take on it. There are differend neurogbiological, and biochemical things that can be looked into as long as the person is willing...just my opinion of course. |

Nicolette, I too am sorry you are dealing with having to look in and see this and are helpless to change it. I just hope to God that its not super close to you, If it is a friend tell them what you are seeing, sometimes honesty helps. If not ignore it as best as you can because you cannot change the situation obviously and it will eat you up. If it is very close to you, Godspeed and I hope all works out in the long run. (((Hugs)))) |

Thanks Upstream, Tude, Pandora & Portabella.
They say money is the root of all evil and I have to agree with that. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
