You Are good at giving relationship advice, don't mistake me. I'm sorry if I somehow contributed to you feeling inadequate or wrong about that. Your advice is heartfelt, it rings true, it comes from personal experience, and that's all that matters. You're good to have hear, and IMO we don't hear enough from you. So there :). Mwah.

Thankyou Susan, really sweet of you to say. My advice.. Members of my family have told me that I am not good at giving it, because I am too jaded or angry, and it colors my perceptions. I "try" to relay my personal experience instead, and people can make of it what they will. I dont always succeed at doing that.
It's also dangerous. I would never want to be responsible for someone doing the wrong thing, because I said something I shouldn't. The guilt would drive me further into insanity than I already am.
However, I have experienced alot, so sometimes I comment when the comment is not asked for. I hate that. But in all honesty, as a child I was mollested, and watched my father die infront of me, and as an adult, taken non-prescribed drugs, attempted suicide, spent time in a mental hospital, had a terrible marriage, had a great marriage, taken more types of prescribed meds than I can count, had stepchildren, had children of my own, and I'm sure I am leaving some things out.
It sure doesn't make me an expert, but it does give me a pool of information to draw from.Did I mention I am terribly long winded?
Anyway, thanks so much for the compliment :)

Broken,
Does your father's dying in front of you still upset you? Don't answer if you don't want to.

Yeah, to be blunt it's a real b*tch this time of the year especially. I've gotten more to the point of discussing it now though, and that is a first for me...

Dont be worried about a trigger in that subject. While I have them for other subjects, death is not one of them :) I had actually posted on the grief forum about this same subject before you asked..

Should I have a look, or can you say something here? My question would be was it a violent death or a "good" death, or ...? And how old were you, and stuff. Because this doesn't happen to everyone, you know that, and I'm trying to understand what it was like for you?

I think the post on the Grief board pretty much answers all of that. But it's, not something I'd post on social. I know several on babble have suffered devistating loss, and it would be best left there, with a trigger warning on it..
