My step daughter is emotionally messed up. She has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and anti social disorder. She is 17. Her mother has allowed her stepfather to molest and rape her. He has been put away for this. But she continues to want to see her mother and her father will not let her go. She is with us now and is very hard to handle. I have so much compassion for her and really love her like my own. I just do not know how to help her. She continues to act out sexually. Let me also say she has been found to be mildly retarded. She does not understand her mother, (now doing drugs) does not want any contact with her. The last time she seen her mother, she was sexually assaulted by her mother's "friend" so her mother could get more drugs. She is getting treatment but nothing seems to be helping. I try to show her we love her but she seems out of reach to us. What can I do to help her?

Hey everyone, can anyone share their experiences of discovering what it was you wanted to do with your life? How did you find out? How long did it take you to find out? Was it by chance, or did you find out by trying different experiences? How old were you? For the past year or so, Ive been trying to understand why I cannot find contentment in every aspect of my life and it frustrating the hell outta me! im nearly 29, good job, nice car etc etc, and whilst most of my peers are settling down, I crave a new challenge. Im considering a new career, but nothings grabbing me at the mo. Its so frustrating not knowing what to do!!! Any suggestions?

People blame overcrowding in "third-world" countries for why resources are so thin. But isn't the real reason is because people in "first world" countries consume more food, use more gasoline, use more clothes than a person from the "third world"? Compare a teenager in America who drives an SUV, eats at buffets, wears the latest clothes and uses the latest electronics...with a kid in Africa. That one American kid uses more resources than 10 African kids!

my moms been home for a while now and she ether had the weather channel or lifetime on. is it just me or do you girls like watching depressing things.

though I'm not one to speak I read a lot of shojo novels and I have in the past enjoyed a chick flick or two. though it seems if you'd watch the life time channel for three days you'd eventually just lay in bed. eating what evers close and in a fit of depression. not want to watch it anymore.

I've only watched bits and peaces but dang is that channel depressing. the news is not that depressing. you could shot a family member or loved one and you showing up at there funeral wouldn't be that depressing.

my other question is do you girls like watching mysteries, romance stories and movies ported from books. because thats all that plays on that channel.

oh well.
just curious.

I am a social work student doing a research project on assertiveness. Does anyone know about a free assertiveness inventory that I can use. I am having a hard time getting permission from some authors. For those of you in the mental health profession, I am in desperate need of any advice on finding an assertiveness inventory.

...etc, but they do and get hurt? What does it mean if they could have been involved in a bad accident, unless you 'warned them'.

I've had numerous "hunches", and I hate them. I don't want them and I prefer to live my life without them.

I know peole either think "OH YEAH!!!" or "yeah right" about these things...I wisht they didnt.

I know... I should use a dicitonary. But I get two meanings:

1. Someone who is genderless.
2. Someone with no sexual desires.

But which one is it? Can you be genderless and have sexual desires? Can you lack sexual desires but have a gender? I don't understand why the word should mean both! ?
