Why is casual sex so hard?

It could mean you’re not cut out for them. It could also mean you went in with the wrong mindset. Or it could just mean you liked him more than he liked you, and that led to your craziness.  I don’t …

My homeless mother (literally in a shelter) literally keeps bombarding me with messages about my wedding that she delusionally thinks she's going to attend

Right, I just, have been homeless before and they do have programs (that often have months and months of waiting lists to get you from "shelter" to "Housed"). I wasn't trying to offer any advice, mere…

I'm so sorry that this happened to both of you. It's craziness, I don't understand people who do something so horrible to their partners

Does anyone else feel like they were robbed of real socialization?

I don't know how we survived such craziness. They project their fears, insecurities and jealousy onto us.

Why does it take years to realize you’re traumatized? And why does "standard" therapy often miss the point?

I think there are multiple reasons why it takes years, or even decades, to realize that you've been abused. The first reason that I see is a developemental one. As a baby, your world is incredibly …
