Hey Mzhadey.

Psych Central is very welcoming community, offering breathing space and extra support…. many good listeners here, we're a pretty good bunch.

I have been an active member of this site for over 2 years. In that time I have received some really constructive feedback and connected with several others with similar challenges to myself. For those that feel alone, or simply wanting to reach out for a chat without judgement......this is the place. I have also found hanging out in the Games Forums to be a welcome distraction... a great way to have some well needed fun, and meet like minded others. New members also benefit greatly from perusing the many forums available here …...so much to explore. Also after 5 posts new members have the option to join the chat room discussions or private chat with other members.

Should you have any questions on navigating this site, or even just to chat one on one…. please don't hesitate to private message me or any of the other Community Liaisons who will be more than happy to help. Just click on the screen name above my avatar.

As for the poll on parents...I don't think it is usual to have no love for ones parents. However, sometimes circumstances in life cause us to become alienated or estranged from family members. I think it is important to self protect when it comes to people we allow in our lives. Parents are meant to encourage and support us in our endeavours...I get this support & encouragement from a small group of friends outside of my family unit.

Please be kind to yourself Mzhadey, and welcome to P.C
