Family Issues Support Group
Family issues is a huge range that go from minor conflict to major misbehaviour and even abuse on the part of individual members of the family occur. Whether you feel you are in a dysfunctional family or you're dealing with a very specific issue, this is the place to talk about it and find others who might be going through the same thing.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
But, I am going to tell you something about YOU. You have a great deal of value not only to society, but to yourself. You must remain strong in your convictions throughout the remainder of your teen years to do the very best that you can to insure a wonderful future. You do not have to live in your past, you need to live for today the kind of life you dream of having.
When people verbally abuse you - do not fall into the profanity trap - just walk away knowing you are better than that! Sexual abuse - do not let it happen to you. Report the crime to the authorities. Yes, it is a crime to sexually abuse anyone (minor or adult).
Eating disorders - it is up to you to eat healthy and exercise. Eating disorders are linked with heart and other body organ diseases. You want to keep yourself healthy for your future - your career, your future spouse, your future children. When you exercise think about how healthy you are becoming and how very special you are.
Depression - you can't let others determine your frame of mind. Only you can say "Hey, I'm above all this, I am going to make something of my life!" It seems that those around you are a big cause for your depressing thoughts. Be strong and depend on yourself only - when you depend on others, you can become disappointed. If you feel you have severe depression and suicidal thoughts, please seek a professional therapist. This is very important because you want to live and you want to have a great future (or else you wouldn't have written here).
Spend as much time as you can with your friends and their loving families. Through their examples you can see what family life is really all about, and you can mold your future as such.
Take care of yourself, and be strong and some prayer will help, too. ((HUGS))
