My cousin was.. raised by a VERY narcissistic dad. Like, not normal. And I am trying to figure out if he inherited it or not.

We went to Panera Bread, and my cousin had just - through personal intelligence and effort - gotten a high paying highly specialized job - he started casually saying that people who work at Panera Bread behind the counter are 'Kiosks' because they can be easily replaced by a computer Kiosk like they have up front there. He said he would hate to be still stuck working there, which he did briefly in college.

While his view seems to have helped him move up the career ladder, and he may be commenting on the brutal reality of jobs and economics, it seems a bit off. I h

I overheated my engine on my Honda CRV, and would like the engine replaced. Anyone have recommendations of shops that are competent to do this?

A (Situation / Thought Trigger):
Other people know how to lift weights with a barbell, and I feel fat and weak.

B (Automatic Thought):
I’m not good enough. I’m behind. I should know how to exercise. I’m stupid and different.

C (Emotions / Body Reactions):
I feel sad, tired, nervous about trying, not confident, jealous, angry at myself, and want to be alone.

D (Challenging / Balanced Thought):
I don’t have to be perfect to exercise. People exercise in many ways, and there’s always someone better than me. Exercise doesn’t make anyone “better” as a person. Life isn’t just about being better or worse than others.

It’s not all my fault that I don’t exercise. If I had c

I told my sister that she talks about cynical, salacious, adult, sexualized, inappropriate topics around my younger half brother, and that she doesn't know how to lead an age appropriate conversation with him.

I brought up the time when he came up to her and said, 'Hey, did you lose weight!' And she smiled and reacted positively and with praise, and I said she guided him into a boyfriend-like adult position where is getting her emotional needs met through him that she wish she could get through a boyfriend.

She said it is me who actually says inappropriate things, that I am sexualizing her and my mother, that I am projecting my own sexual problems onto her, that I need help, and that I h

My group therapist regularly shares that one member hasn't paid her bill in over a year, and makes it part of the 'therapy process.' He wrote her an email about it while she skipped group, and read it to the whole group aloud.

Is this a HIPAA violation or not exactly?

I replaced the radiator and forgot to put on a radiator cap and drove 50 miles.
80% of the radiator fluid boiled out; car temp gauge showed normal temp;
I replaced the radiator fluid and let bubbles escape while running; replaced with new radiator cap;
drove fine;
then the next day, radiator fluid kept disappearing no matter how much i poured into the radiator, and engine temp gauge was showing engine overheating.
It is a Honda crv 2008 with 220,000 miles and the engine starts and runs when cold, maybe with some mild to medium misfires, no check engine code so far.

Should I tow it to an engine shop for a diagnosis? A new engine is quoted at $3,000 so far.

So my mom over the years had not told me about things ahead of time.

-she would accept big restaurant catering party jobs signing up the whole family to help her even though we refused, then forced us to do it last moment anyway (or someone's birthday or wedding would not be serviced)

-she got a bf, rented a house, moved out, and stopped coming home gradually (did not tell us a ahead of time, and never really discussed it; just showed up and called randomly acting like everything is normal and expecting us to accommodate her)

-she got pregnant (did not tell us until the end of her pregnancy)

-got breast cancer (mild form) and did not tell us until we were told to 'devote our lives t
