Self Matters

Hello everyone, I am so happy to see this message board. I have been struggling for years trying to find out who I am and why there is always something tugging at me to listen. I started read Self Matters a few days ago and it was amazing - it was like the book was written about me. I am looking forward to all of the hard work that is going to be involved to find out who I am. I look forward to talking with all of you for inspiration and advice.

Kelsie,

 

  Just curious what the jist of Self Matters is - is that the goal of the book, to help you find your authentic self??   Glad you posted this, I may just have to go out and buy it!!

Whoa

I am just amazed more than anything about the fact that NOBODY seems to take one bit of accountability for their actions.   Everyone has a million excuses for why they do this and why they don't do that - how on earth can they expect anything to change if they aren't even truthful with themselves?  

 

Melissa doesn't apparently doesn't realize how much energy she is spending trying to keep herself the way she is - I would  probably have to count on two hands just how many times I heard the excuse "I'm bored, I have no life, I have nothing to do but sit on my butt and watch TV".   This made me want to scream!   Is she expecting someone to do it for her?  She does have some control over these things.

05/28 A Dr. Phil Family on Fire: House Intervention, Part 3

Quote From: cajunmiss2

Edwin,

 

Sorry to have offended you...this was just a perception of what was broadcast on the show.  I am obviously not the only person who percieved you'll as "cozy".  Maybe YOU are affectionate in general, but Randy is the person in question here.  He seems to be a very confused and untruthful person.  You may want to be careful that your affection is not being misinterpreted by him.  The affection shown by him towards you was NOT normal.  This guy has some emotional turmoil going on inside of him, he's trying to find himself. 

 

Men showing affection is quite ok...my brother and father too-- hug and  tell one another they love each other.  My husband hugs and kisses his father and brother just the same...but what was shown on the Dr. Phil show, was not the norm.  Best wishes to you and your family. 

 

Remember, blood is thicker than water...Melissa needs you.  You should be there for her and your nephew.  Part of her problem is that she feels alone with raising her son.  Your friendship with Randy may be sending her mixed emotions as well.  As a mother of and "autistic" realm child, I too need my family most.  Our strongest support is those who love us unconditionally.  Please recognize this...and put your efforts toward showing your sister you are there for HER.

Bravo on a great post - I agree, it is possible for straight men to be affectionate, but this looked different than that to me.  I'm not accusing either one of being gay nor would I have a single thing against them if either or both of them were.  Before I even saw Randy and Edwin sitting on the couch like that, I thought it possible that there might be a sexuality issue where Randy is concerned.  

 

I am actually more concerned, though, that Edwin and Randy can be so tight when Randy has been so awful to Melissa with his lying, manipulating and STEALING from her!  I don't get it.

If it weren't for the notes.....

I wouldn't have believed that the teacher was allowing ANYTHING inappropriate to go on.   However, those notes proved that there was some line crossed with such flirtatious games.    I don't believe what the boys said happened, but obviously there was more than just a teacher/student relationship there.    She seems like a bright lady, so I just don't get how she could engage in such stupid behavior.

 

Is it true that she met her husband first as a student of his?   I read that somewhere and hadn't heard it on the show.    Interesting, to say the least.
