Family Counselling
Gay men and impotence
Hi. Long post, sorry about that, but a genuine request for help. I’ve been a ‘lurker’ in this group for some months, and it’s taken me a long time to find the courage to share feelings and thoughts I’ve had for a long time. You don’t see much information or assistance for gay men and [...]
YR: Hope’s farm
I’ve always wondered, if Hope likes farm life so much, why didn’t Victor just *BUY* her a new farm near GC where they could live. It’s not like farms can only exist in Kansas. I mean geez, look at that huge ranch where his ex nikki lives!! Ah. Yet another thing in that story line [...]
What should he do?
If Dad stays in New York there are lots of excellent children’s mental health services available, or at least were ten years ago when I was there. I would suggest that he look into a couple things: 1. Family counseling for the kids and him. The goal would be to help them unite into a [...]
What is a family?
I also know nothing but hearsay about kibbutz. And I know nothing about family mediation (I like the term. I just do old-fashioned family counselling out here in the jungles). But my old hobby-horse of concepts jumps out of this messages. What is social bonding? I recently advised an international research funding agency against funding [...]
What do you hope to accomplish?
Speaking for myself, I am hoping she will drop the “Dr.” from her name and stop imposing herself as a psychiatrist. My husband tells me anyone with a PhD may use that title. I’m not sure Dr. Laura has told any one she is a physchiatrist, or physchologist. I think she has said she’s [...]
Relationship Counselling
Engagement Ring Blues
You didn’t say what state you live in, but chances are that it’s a community property state. So that money, which is “yours” and “his” now will be both of yours if you marry. You need to think about that, and so does he. A mindset of one partner “against” the other is *not* going [...]
(school “phobia” ?) – Going Well
It’s 8 school days now since my daughter started at her new school. She missed the second day, but has gone to school all other days. She’s much happier. Her anxiety is less, although still showing through at times. Her co behaviour seems to be less obvious, and her tics have decreased some. She’s motivated [...]
Bishops Criticise Marriage ‘Warranty’
ROMAN Catholic bishops accused the Government yesterday of undermining marriage by proposing that couples should enter into prenuptial agreements. The bishops say that calling for couples to make prenuptial agreements dealing with the ownership and disposal of cash and property favours the rich and builds a failure clause into marriage. Their response to the Government’s [...]
Sexual Addiction
I am one of those who as recently as this AM felt we did not have enough information to conclude that the husband was a sex addict. With Southern Belle’s most recent post that is no longer in question. He most clearly is a well established addict. Hmm, well I’m far from clear about what [...]
Helen Bonaham Carter & Rufus Sewell “Unlucky In Love”
Helena vists A Therapy Clinic And Rufus’s Marriage Fails To Reach A First Anniversary. Their Love lives have taken on a twist of Shakespearean tragedy. For Helena Bonham Carter and Rufus Sewell, the trials and tribulations of life off screen has become more difficult than many of the Bard’s most complex plots. The stars, who [...]
