| Oh, also I live near San Diego, Ca (and a lot of our family lives in LA) so maybe we can find some kind of secular AA type help. He doesn't like support groups though usually. I've tried to get him to go to one for AS and he says he doesn't like the social aspect. He does like one on one counseling ... |

| Thank you everyone for your insight and advice. I decided my best option was to leave and leave him a note telling him to call me when he was sobered up from his latest binge. I told him I loved him and our family is very important to me and that's why I had to leave right then. When he sobered up l... |

I tend to have meltdowns and he tends to shut off completely. I tend to NOT like to drink, especially when stressed be... |

| Well, that is probably true. I think for most kids they just go because their parents take them. As for the lizard, I don't think people didn't want it there because they thought it was evil, it's sort of the same reason you can't really take any animals to public places randomly- some people have p... |

| Well, I haven't played Daggerfall, so I couldn't compare that with the newer ones in the series. I just know that Morrowind and Oblivion are very open compared with all the games I have played. |

Orange. It makes me happy. I feel more relaxed yet aware when it's around. It also looks best on me, reds and yellows too. But Orange is the one that makes me generally happy just by looking at it. I also like Green. It is soothing, but just not as great as orange IMO  |

| I had the same idea, so my husband and I (we both have AS) started going to the nearest Unitarian Universalist church. It is focused on fellowship and just generally being a social place for all kinds of people who want to do good for the community. We've loved it so far. They accept anyone with any... |

| I don't get the premise of this thread. The OP is downplaying actual rape. Whether he intended to do this is unknown, but the results are the same. I agree. I've noticed this is a common thing lately. People label something basically trivial or not that bad with something truly horrific just to mak... |

| I too dated someone in the past who was regarded as "perfect" by all who knew him. He was extremely "charming" and sweet natured. He had many friends, many of them women, who just thought he was a "sweetheart." Very soon after becoming close, he started degrading me- calling me a "weirdo" and "nerd"... |

I don't understand
I think it was a joke, acting as if you said, "Schindler's LISP"
