Search Results: mental abuse

I'm just wondering if you would "discriminate" against someone based on their "mental" diagnosis.
I have social anxiety.
I am working on it.
When I met my husband he was kind of "mean" about it, and kind of used it against me and stuff... as if it was a weakness. I don't think it is a weakness. I think it's more of something like... a goal we are working on and seeking to improve.
I read numerous self help books and go to self help groups as well as seek out counseling. I have my disorder/anxiety due to the fact that my mother and sister mentally/psychologically/emotionally and physical abused me. I did not admit it at first, and thought that "that" was love, and that there must be something wrong with me if I hate them for doing it. I learned to "admit" that I was abused. Then I learned to forgive them, they are just people who did not know what they were doing. What they did was wrong, but them as a human being is still lovable. It's a process and honestly I might not heal from it, but it could change me. I also listen to a lot of TED talks on this topic as well.

Would you date someone knowing they have a mental illness?

Ooooohhh weeee!!! This topic loves to get hate and people shouting at you without giving a proper opinion. To make it more exciting. Im not going anonymous feel free to swear and curse at me and tell me I'm a bad person. And see if you find the irony of that.

Okay so my view on this topic is simple. I do not believe spanking (normal way, not sexual) your child is abuse. I was. My siblings were. My parents were. My friends were, and we are far from emotionally damaged people.

We care for our family and friends. We hate to see someone get hurt and we respect our elders.

Now I will admit to one thing. This form of punishment can definitely be abused. In that you can be too rough or too intense or do it for anything. Even small things. That's when it becomes physical abuse to me and that's horrible.

But whenever I did something very wrong. I got 1 smack. Maybe 2 and it hurt and I cried. But everytime without fail my parents. Dad or mom would tell me this hurts them more than me and they do it out of love. And I fully believed them. Thank God I wasn't sent to my room. I had so much stuff to do there. Wouldn't learn a thing.

A spank is a quick form of punishment which is easily to translate into being a punishment. It's sore and you don't want it to happen again. That's how I learnt what I shouldn't do. And no they didn't smack me and leave. They explained what I did wrong and I faced the consequences. Many techniques of discipline work for kids. This was mine and if you think you able to tell me if my parents loved me or not or if im damaged that's just laughable.

I reiterate. This form of discipline can be abused and done out of anger or hate. But that's something wrong with the parents mental state. Not the form of discipline. Anything in this world can be a taken too far.

I also find the abuse of children horrible and terrible. But if you can't see the difference in this. Then that's on you.
