My husband lost his mum a couple of weeks ago and at first he was upset but now he has because so angry, I know anger is normal in grief but all of his anger is being aimed at me. He has become so nasty and quite verbally abusive, when he has been I have either walked away (but this makes him worse) or said please don’t talk to me like that, I know you are hurt but that is just not okay. He sinc...

About a year ago I became friends with a girl and we became close quite quickly. For the purpose of this post let’s call her Emma I first met Emma when she started working for the bar my boyfriend owned. She came to the city I lived in for university and was looking for a part time job, i got on with Emma well and we had things in common. She soon became a value member of the team and a clos...

Me and my ex broke up 8 yrs ago, it was a messy break up but for the last 4 years it’s been amicable. We’ve both re married and all get along, yes we argue sometimes but who doesn’t. Sadly he passed away a few weeks ago. Leaving our 7 and 11 year old utterly heartbroken. It’s his funeral on Thursday. Since he passed I’ve had his wife round for dinner, she’s seen the kids and we tex...

I’ve been seeing a man for two months, we are both in our thirties. A few weeks ago he lost his mother and he seemed fine in the time straight after this. Then around a week ago he went cold on me, i thought we were supposed to meet up at the weekend but he said he’d been in bed all day feeling awful and he needed time to think, rest and sleep. I replied and said I was there if he needed me an...

My father passed away 5 years ago. His will said everything to be split 50/50 between my brother and I. My brother was the executor. He did some pretty shady things during the estate. He fought with me the whole time. At the time I didn't want to be enemies with himand I was grieving my father. He gave me alot of guilt. My brother and I were never that close. During my wedding one of my br...

My husband of 10yrs & I we’re out at a very crowded bar this weekend, when an old female friend of his walked by he chose to reach out with both hands & grab her breasts right in front of me! I chose to finish my only drink of the evening instead of dumping it all over him & creating a sene. I did confront him that next morning. He said, “oh, you saw that”... which pissed me off ...

Please help. I got divorced 5 years ago and have a 14 year old son with my ex but still maintained a very good relationship with my ex mother-in law. She is I her late 80's and has now been in hospital for the past 2 weeks. She is extremely poorly with heart failure and now kidney problems but I still live in hope that she will pull through. I took my son in to see her last weekend but the pa...

Am I alone in that I just want an immediate replacement for my husband of 30 years? I want my old life back and it seems like the way to get it is to find a replacement - fast. A friend came to family night and I'm fixated on him. Am I completely mentally ill? I just do not want to be an old maid. And I hate living alone....

I lost my best friend to cancer on April 20th, we had been close for 8 years practically inseparable until he began to see a new man 3 years ago. I had met up with them both a few times but always found his partner to be quite arrogant and bolshy but made the effort for my best friend. Upon losing my best friend suddenly after he returned from along haul flight and became very sick, his partner an...

Hello guys, I appreciate you taking the time to read this. I'm married five years now and I always had a very good relationship with my inlaws until a year ago. My husband was turning 40 so I decided to organise him a surprise party, his parents couldn't attend as they had a vacation planned. However the rest of the family had RSVP'D. I had been in contact with his sibling leadi...

Hello My father found the body of his two year old brother, in a puddle when he was nine. The coroners cause of death was accidental drowning. I am wondering the effect this may have on somebody during later years. My dad doesn't refer much to the personal events which happened to him earlier in life, but recently said that he never got any counselling after the event and how things may ha...

My husband's ex-girlfriend and mother of his 9yr old son died last week in a car accident. She had been cut off from my stepson since last May due to drug use, we tried everything to get her into treatment but she wouldn't go. He told me at the time we were trying everything to help her because he expected her to die of an overdose in the near future, I thought he was exaggerating. He...

Not long ago I met the person I truly love and get married. We come from different country. She have a bad childhood , become a single mother in adulthood and is an emotionally damaged woman. Her life and family relationship is complicat...

I'm 17 years old and I've recently had an abortion, despite not really wanting to. I regretted it as soon I took the first tablet. I then had no choice but to tak e the second. It was awful. I feel like a murderer, my baby was just an innocent child and I failed him. I want that baby so much now. Every time I see a child or a baby I burst into tears and can't sleep at night. I know ...

My husband's mother got diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in 2010. She was very ill and knew she was dying as soon as she was diagnosed. She got put on home hospice in 2012. In October 2014 she passed away. She was in the hospital for two weeks before she passed and he visited her several times during that span. On the day they knew she was going to pass i made it very clear that i wanted ...

A coworker recently died. Everyone seems so shocked and saddened, and her obituary is glowing - it makes her sound so great, but I didn't like her - I thought she was a jerk and I thought she had an unpleasant personality. When I read the things about her, I just wanted to shout, "That's not true!" I guess I'm still mad at her for the selfish, dishonest things she did. ...

It was two weeks after, when I told my husband I wanted to leave, I felt like I could not cope, my mum had suffered ten years, three cancers, I wanted to escape. I told my husband I wanted to have sex with other men. We have been together almost seventeen years, with him going to Australia in 2003 and returning when he felt the impact of me seein...

I wasn't sure which category to put this under, since it's a bit removed. I've put it here, since it's similar to trying to help someone who is dealing with someone else committing suicide - but instead, dealing with people who are *likely* to commit suicide. I am a freshman college student. There is a friend of mine who, in highschool, was the rock of support for at least thre...
