Comment on Can people with bipolar disorder recover? by ldjason

I believe it shouldn’t be too hard to accept the basic potential of recovery as laid out in twelve step progrmas for percieving the recovery of bipolar.

* Never lose the potential for going back to the active pattern
*Millions of people with no particular qualities (eg. will) recover and live out high functioning lives as long as they do some things—all of which are basically a healthy way for anyone to live. They include:
* Having a support system (for me MKP is the best for this purpose)
* Be of service to people

As someone who has bd1, I can szay that I am a bit incorrigible, but fully recovered, and that MKP has been a huge part of that.

Steve, congrats on that downward / inward journey and the harder work of returning to the light at the top… i’ve done it many times and have always felt immensely rewarded.

i also agree with your:

” managing not to yell at day trippers holding their soda cans and smoking their cigarettes. There’s no one quite as self-righteous as a through hiker near the trail head.”

amen; have had that same self-righteous experience myself. of course, less than 2% of visitors ever go below the rim…….

Comment on Three keys for fathers wanting to build a conflict-free relationship with an ex-wife by Chris

Chris — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:41:27 +0000

Your pro father initiatives have good intention but a good start would be to allow men to be a father. Currently 90% of American men loose their children in divorce. They are relegated to a visitor or given “visitation” to their children of 4 days a month. 70% of divorce is initiated by women. Men need parental rights and the god given right to be involved in our children’s lives.

Further more men need property and labor rights in divorce as well. Currently men are also required to support their astranged child and ex-wife financially. Men are not isolated resource producers but human beings that need human rights and fair divorce law. Currently marriage is on the decline at a 45 degree angle. Any sociologist will tell you that cohabitation is becomming the norm. These cohabitative relationships are 2x as likley to disolve.

Yes we have a problem with disolved and fatherless children but men are not to blame. Equal rights for men and fathers must be achieved.

Furthermore we must realize that UNICEF has rated the United States and Great Britan dead last in its assesment of child wellbeing of all developed nations. Again men and fathers are not the problem.
