    you are very correct, I wanted my son to learn discipline and respect however with this teacher he will get none of that.

    just a suggestion but Tai chi might be better for what you want

    This guy knows physically no one can touch him so he is very arrogant, his speech after the class was it's my club, I do as I want.

    Thanks every1 feeling a bit better now and even if it means a few tears from my son for awhile i think in the long run it will be better we stop at this club.
    The guy may well be good at karate and from your tale I keep thinking of the film karate kid. However these people that need to show their power are insecure and weak mindede. to hold their status they need vallidation from other people and if that approval or vallidation is not forthcoming they have nothing. if everyone in the audience had called him a prat he would probably had a breakdown

  • Im getting a little miffed at the number of my posts that are disappearing. If I were discussing the benefits of various medications I would be happy but posts have gone where I have talked about coping mechanisms and also been discussing the difference between CBT and NLP.
    Hugs etc may be supportive but so is education and if showing someone how to deal with an event helps in any way then it has to be supportive
    Assuming people dont like depression and want something better then surely it is helpful and supportive to outline alternative forms of help. i am not talking medication here because 1) I believe much of it is not needed and 2) that is the job of a psychiatrist. However talking therapies and giving general help and education is not the same and i would appreciate it if the mods were to read thouroughly the posts and if they do breach rule then they should say where and why

  • Mega rant coming be warned!

    Well I was right to know something was wrong last night, OH finally rolled in at nearly 6 this morning, I was up with the little one! He said he fell asleep in the bus shelter waiting for a taxi, maybe true maybe not! Then when he finally surfaced about 11ish he said "I think I spent a lot of money last night" so I looked on on line banking and he spent over £250!:mad: That was it I am so f'ing mad, he had been in a lap dancing club and said " I don't remember a thing I was so drunk" No bloody excuse, not only has he wasted money that we could use to feed our children for a month etc etc he has gone over his agreed overdraft and will incur loads of fees etc.

    I left him at home with the boys and went out to clear my head, it kinda worked but I was mad as hell when I looked at him on my return, I told him he makes me sick and that he has lost my trust, not sure if this is the end. Im not looking for advice just wanted to offload. He's now gone out so I don't have to look at his woe is me face anymore!

    Im getting a little miffed at the number of my posts that are disappearing. If I were discussing the benefits of various medications I would be happy but posts have gone where I have talked about coping mechanisms and also been discussing the difference between CBT and NLP.

    I recently tried to look back at something I posted only to realise it had gone! I could think of no reason why my post had been removed. It was simply a post where I mentioned I had problems with my mum. There was nothing awful in the post and I certainly didn't mention her name or anything! There was no reason for it at all.

    I agree that if they are going to remove posts they should at least have the courtesy to explain why!

    To be honest (and I am going to be....and this may lack tact) I think that the mods don't read the posts properly and sometimes just remove them here and there willy nilly.
    I've had a few of mine removed which haven't been derogatory about anyone or broken any site or thread rules.
    It annoys me and I think that reasons should be given for why a post has been removed or if there are issues, it should be taken up with the poster first.

    I'm inclined to say that irony might kick in and this post might be removed!

  • Hi folks, having a bit of difficult day - feeling unduly teary but for no reason. I do feel some of it is having been poorly and having had bouts the last 2 Christmases just the setting of decorations etc sort of triggers the mind.

    Just trying to pull my socks up now - come on girl, we ain't willingly oing down that road again lol!!
