My father died when I was 5 years old from HI.V/A.I.D.S that he'd contracted while in prision from using Drugs. I was born the year he went to jail. And he found out a while later that he had the disease. He got out when I was 3 so I had 2 uniterupted years to get to know him. When he started getting really really sick and had to go into a hospice my mom would go and visit him all the time, (she did not contract the disease) and she would ask me if I wanted to go but I was terrified of the hospital. It was big and scary . So I went rarely because I was afraid. and then he died. I was at school when he died and I remember not being sad that he died but being scared of having to go to the funeral. I've always felt bad about my initial reaction to his death and the fact theat I didn't go to see him more often during his final days. I carry this guilt ot this day and I am 17 years old now. I've also felt that in some macabre way I should have contracted the disease too. I haven't tried

My estranged husband was diagnosed with PTSD and a personalitty disorder but i believe he was mis-diagnosed and actually has bipolar but up till now no one has listened to me. My dilemma is i dont want to use my kids as pawns in the divorce as i do feel they need a realtionship with him. But on the other hand if he is unstable and has been known to blow up for no reason, I'm not sure I'm happy for him to see the kids. We have no famliy who could help as mine live too far away and he des not speak to his and i know contact centres are very few and far between in the area I live. So what do I do?

"HUMAN TARGETS

Philip spoke up in the group. 'Sometimes I feel like a target
struck by society's arrows. Piercing words and events strike
throughout the day. I suspect self-centeredness here. Your
explanation would be appreciated.'

'There is just one way to get over feeling like a target. You must
stop being an arrow. Target and arrow always go together, and both
exist within you. When you insist upon shooting your arrow you also
insist upon being a target. See this in small ways at first. If you
shoot an arrow of hostility towards another person, you become the
target for his returned hostility. Self-shocking honesty is
required.
A dishonest man always thinks he is the innocent target, never
seeing
how he makes targets of other people.'"

Esoteric Encyclopedia of Eternal Knowledge, p. 93

Ihave been told by almost everyone ounder the sun that I need to let past bad experiences go. I know I am the type of person that if something hurtful or negative is said to me i'lll laugh it off but inside it's still there and i hurts even months or years after it was said. It has caused me to doubt myself alot I used to want to be an artist but when I took an Art class and I couldn't draw a face as well as some other people and my friend made a mean comment I stopped. I"m tryiong to get back into it but everytime I enter the class that comment comes back to haunt me. I know that life is too short to let this rule me and I'm reaching the point where I want to move on but I don't know how. Please don't answer and just tell me "Just get over it" for someone who has been internalizing for their whole life it's not that easy. Please help.

Amazing I used up exactly 100 characters in my question:D

I have many interests, but they are not in line with mainstream psychology.

I can't ask how do I influence a person. Nobody will give me a true answer, they will only tell me to look where I have already looked.

I can't ask for a discussion on a subject, because the best discussions will be among a true circle of individuals.

Asking how to be a better person will get me some short one or two line response. Nobody is going to put much effort into such acommon question.

Common sense questions, that have an indiscreet goal are going to be viewed as "confusion" on my part. This will only get me insults.

After one day of insults only, I have come to believe the best way to get an answer to my questions is to ask the same question repeatedly.

I can write an indepth question, and get only one or two incomplete answers. I want to write a 5000 word essay using the advice from Y!A, but I can't.

Help me please.

I am 17 years old and I have 4 additional half siblings. Three sisters and one brother. Their ages are 33,31, 30 and 29. I am the baby. My father died wehn I was 5 so for a long time my brother was the only man in my life, but I've neevr felt like it. I never had a real relationship with my brother, he never seemed to want to have anything to do with me because when I was born he was just about an adult. He never had a good relationship with my father because he was a competing male in my mothers life and though my father never kept me away from him my brother i felt even as a small child that he distanced himself from me. I can remember having good time with my sisters, all of them but I don't have one good memory of my brother and because of this I guess i don't really know my brother. Now that I'm older I'm noticing that when I'm around my brother or any man that tries to be athourative, but especially my brother, I just feel all of this anger build up inside me and it comes out

Don't just say "thinking"
That's obvious...look deeper. What do you think about? Why?

Eidetic memory, better known as 'Photographic memory', is the ability to have perfect recall of an image in your mind. What is the best course or product to learn a system which allows this degree of recall?

I have completed a system called 'Photoreading', but i would like to go one step further and actualy recall the whole specific images.

I would be grateful for any advice or insight into this. Preferably, someone who knows about the photoreading system.

Thanks

And if I could pass into another existence,
Bright with blood and dark with death
I would to go by razor,
Body christened with the glistening of tears
The throbbing of scars pulsating with a universal emptiness
Bath water swirling pink, cloudy tendrils
Signifying passage from this world to the next
And if I could pass into another existence
then I would to die tonight.
