I've seen a lot of political debates here lately. The reason they are not allowed is because they always end with somebody offended and they are never educational. They use berates to tear people down for having a different opinion. If you disagree with somebody and you cannot hold your tongue, please, just move on. You are not helping.

My generation was always told two topics to avoid are politics and religion, but that didn't turn out so well. I think it's best to teach younger folks how to discuss sensitive topics with respect, honesty and compassion, so they don't repeat history when they're older.

I joined old help when I was having marital issues and suffering from depression/PTSD (which was my contribution to the marital issues)

I swear that I didn't google this site. It just showed up one day in an email...I clicked and ended up on the site. It was "DIVINE INTERVENTION" lol :)Since then, my marriage improved. My emotional state improved. I got older and my little bitty kids that were sort of hard to deal with (with the emotional issues) got older.

During the time period of the old help, I also went back to school and used help extensively while I studied. I'd have the site up and banter every now and then with the members. Many of them knew me well and knew that when I needed a "brain break" I would banter (there was a chat room). I'm still friends with many of those folks. I've met some in real life

It seems like those who I bantered with and myself were among the few adults early on. I loved being able to read about the accounts of teen angst, while sympathizing with their plights. I'm certain that seeing what some teens on here were going through helped me to be a better and more aware parent.

I haven't come to this new site often; I don't really need help that much anymore...sometimes I just vent on here because I can't yell and cuss and scream in real life. Or whine and moan. So I do it here from time to time.

My real name is Jill. I had the nickname of Jelly bean or Jilly bean throughout my life.

One of the members on this site told me once that I was not really a jellybean...I was more "spicy" and started calling me Pepperjelly. It stuck to the point that my husband now calls me "Pep"

I'm a mom of four. With an extra (we took one in). I'm pretty conservative. I stay home (sort of)... and home school my kids. I have a master's degree and two bachelor's degrees...and had the loans to prove it...but it was a waste because I never really "used" those degrees outside the home :(

My oldest just turned 18 (son); my daughter is 17; my 2nd son is 14 and my last son is 7. The girl we took in just turned 18. I have wrapped myself up in "mommyhood" to a point where it's unhealthy for me, probably. My kids say that they appreciate me and that they think it was never "unhealthy" for them. They are great/say their lives are great/say that they want to be our friends for life/are good people who respect us. I'm amazed that after my past I was able to guide children the way I did. It's my proudest accomplishment.

My husband is a cop and that worries me more and more as he ages. I suppose I'm going to have to get a "real" job one of these days.

That's quite a life story :)

Hey, I remember you! ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜˜

Agreed! When they start coming on my posts with that negative crap, I just close the post, but that really isn't fair to those who just want to talk.

Keep up the good work!

I guess it's better than the Clinton death count. Did anyone die since Epstein or is he still the latest?

The Clintons had nothing to lose or gain by suiciding Epstein, but trump did! You must know who the president is now, right? ๐Ÿ™„

Trumpsters are still extremely upset that Hillary lost. Go figure.

It defies logic, that's for sure! ๐Ÿ™„

Nope. I'm absolutely sure! It's only the angry trumptard I see who are aggrieved about every little thing! Y'all still don't seem to be able to get over and past the articulate, intelligent, good looking black man who won twice! How am I wrong?

I know you're more likely to die from a bee, wasp, or hornet sting than a police officer. I try to stay away from bees, wasps, hornets, and cops.

Well, I'm white, so yeah. But I'm not likely to tan that deep any time soon. In the meantime, I'm more than willing to spend my privelege currency on standing up, and speaking out for POC who aren't as lucky as I am. Wasps and hornets don't scare me.

Im alright thanks im just saying in general

A wise therapist once told be that all depression comes from the past, and all anxiety comes from the future. Living in the moment is the only way to avoid both. That's sometimes harder than it sounds, but well worth the effort!

My post was actually more about people who complain about everything, like the trumptards do! If they have nothing real to complain about, they just make stuff up. ๐Ÿ™„
