This is a song I wrote about living with an unstable, neurotic, mentally ill mother. While my situation is certainly better than a lot of others, it still has its really tough moments that can be hard to handle. This is a few years old now, but it still represents the situation well. I wanted to share it with all of you. Please enjoy and comment.

Friday, November 20, 2009 |
People complain about losing the friendship thing, the older they get, the fewer there seem to be, both because of death and because of work and family (which is actually another form of work sometimes). They also forget how to make new friends for some reason. "friendship at 40: relearn what seems obvious when you are 5: Be patient, pay attention, stay open, and give.

the Khasi are a matrilineal culture, in which family life centers around the mother's house and both inheritance and clan membership are passed on through daughters. Among the Maasai, the researchers found a male preference for competition that was comparable to that of University of Pittsburgh undergrads. By contrast, in the Khasi group, the pattern reversed itself—it was women who pre...1 Recommendation -

Since I became an adult, I have done a full 180 (personality wise) from what I used to be. I used to cower, not able to make eye contact, apoligizing for everything and then some, flinching, huddled in a ball.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Information
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a term for certain psychological consequences of exposure to, or confrontation with, stressful experiences that the person experiences as highly traumatic. [1] These experiences can involve actual or threatened death, serious physical injury, or a threat to physical and/or psychological integrity. It is occasionally called post-traumatic stress reaction to emphasize that it is a routine result of traumatic experience rather than a manifestation of a pre-existing psychological weakness on the part of the patient.
