I was abused as a child, but I can't seem to convince myself that it was real. I tell myself it wasn't even a big deal...that people in the past went through worst, so it is justified. And I turned out fine, so what's the big deal. But sometimes I just really hurt inside, and wish I had a home with a mother who loved me. Sometimes I have memories of the things she did to me, and it hurts so much, because I bet she was stressed. She was a single mother. She was a waiter. She raised my sister and I on her own. I just can't seem to admit that it wasn't my fault, and it's tearing me apart. She's normal now. She eventually went to college and got a better job. Less fiancial strain, I guess. I want to forgive her, because she is okay now. But it is so hard. What do I do?

Some hings she did:
--beat me with fists, broom, anything in reach
--bloody noses
--pull my hair
--bang my head against the wall
--when I was little, I would scratch myself after beatings. I don't know why. when my mom found out, she called me crazy and "helped" me by scratching my neck and back
--tape my mouth shut with tape

Please help. I love her, but I want to *like* her. Counseling is not an option, so don't suggest that.

Thanks.

Why is it the case that something I bought for $50 when that was a lot of money for me is worth to me much more than the same thing when money is less of an issue? A good example is a good soccer ball. That was hard to have as a kid. Now it no longer is. I should have been very excited to own the nice soccer ball that I bought; I was not. Neither am I able to appreciate fancy sushi dinners the same way as I did previously. What has changed? The ball is still the same and so is the food.

Mine goes like this. I sleep really late because I work at night. I get up around noon, good off with my stay at home wife for a couple of hours before she has to go pick up the kids from school. Then I start working. I do networking and programming work for a living. I will work for two hours while they are doing their homework then I take about a four hour break and goof off with the kids. Then I get back to work once they are in bed around 9pm. I will work all night, until about 5am most nights, writing code or remotely managing various networks I am in charge of maintaining. I go to bed and it starts all over again. My life is like a vacation that sucks even though I admit, I do get to see my family a lot, which is nice. Anyway, what is your life like, in a nutshell?

Some people make more than others.

Generally speaking the differences are a matter of timing (most of us spend some time in four different income "quintiles" over the course of our career, and the average age of the top "quintile" is about 20 years older than the average age of the "bottom" quintile), geography (you're paid more, and it costs more to live, in Manhattan than in Fayetteville), decisions (college-educated workers are generally paid more per year than non-college-educated workers, but they started work four or more years later and went $100K or more into debt), and for what we do (blue collar workers generally perform a repetitive, straightforward task for a set period of time per day, while high-paid white collar workers use analytical reasoning and judgment to solve problems as they arise, have to stay until they solve the problem and if their solution doesn't work, they can be fired).

How is any of this "unfair?"

And if it's not "unfair," why change it?

You can't say that if you are clean, it won't happen. When i was younger maybe i didn't wipe my butt good enough but i do now until i don't see anything on the toilet paper and i can still scratch my butt sometimes and get brown marks on my underwear and pants. Of course i don't let anyone see but has this happened to any of you alot? I don't do it much anymore but i used to do it ALOT. Is it just part of being a human that we hide? like picking our noses?

oh yeah i am a girl. I know girls would hide it more


Is this something you tell your boyfriend/girlfriend you do. I think if he knew, he might not want to be with me. I have OCD so i obsess over things and over think things i shouldn't

For my freshman english 2 class, you have to write a paper on carl jung's archetypes. We only really need to choose one and give examples from a couple of works. I was wondering if anyone knew much about the archetypes? I've been trying to research it online, but I'm not getting too much information. And any suggestions for which archetype I should use and an argument I can write?

I've heard many traits described as part of the masculine ideal: integrity and honor, protecting those who are weaker than you, stoicism, etc. I'm curious what those here (men AND women) consider to be the ideal for women. Do you think your own thoughts on the subject conflict with traditional or current popular views? I'm curious to hear some thoughts.

Also, please spare me any trite "anything-and-everything" answers. Not only is it boring, but it's also banal and meaningless. Thanks in advance.

I had a scary dream and I was hoping for some enlightenment....

I was walking through a long grassy paddock with my sister we stumbled across a dead bloody body (female), there was a two storey house nearby and we had the keys as we got to the door I was looking for the right key - it wasn't there... I looked under the house to see a small toddler girl sitting in a chair in the dark and mud, I looked further there was a, living, woman with blond hair and two men, one looked to be a husband or father - I didn't recognise them ...

then I woke up, feeling rather shaken - any thoughts?

Why are some people more creative than others? Is it all genetic? Can creativity be taught? Can it be cultivated? I know there are lots of techniques to stimulate lateral thinking (e.g. E. De Bono) but is this true creativity?
