DrBev, Am I a crisis junkie? I keep attracting Drama Queens. I feel like a magnet for sadness and misery relationships. How can I be addicted to feeling bad? Am I crazy? Don't people normally seek out pleasure rather than emotional pain? I create drama; choose bad boi/gurl friends and associates when things are going good in my life. I try to be productive and happy, but, it takes so such effort. Maybe, I have become accustomed to the pain and think that there is no solution to overcome it. Truth is, sometimes I don't feel worthy; Don't deserve to be happy, so I do things to sabotage the people, places and things that can let me be happy. Tonight, Emotions-R-Us will focus on self-misery and depression when your negativity feeds on itself. What are the symptoms and causes of a misery addiction? How does a childhood full of drama, trauma, and chaos connect to adult relationships and MISERY ADDICTION? Join DrBev and Guest, Dahni McPhail, Author “Two and a Possible”. A true to life fiction; real and person

Have you ever had a misunderstanding with your Gurl and found yourself suddenly enraged or falling apart with intense tears? You thought that you were reacting to the present situation, but what was really happening is that an old, unhealed abandonment wound has been touched off. Join DrBev and her guest “Helen” a self-identified Lesbian, as she courageously shares her insights, life experiences and emotional pain. She talks openly and honestly about her abandonment issues and its effect on her sexual relationships. Together we will discuss, educate and give you tools that will save relationships time, pain, and emotional suffering.

Part two: Smooth talk may get a Bytch-B-Gone back into your bed. Know that betrayal, emotional violence and/or mental illness might crawl underneath the covers to rape your mind, one more, again. Join DrBev and Vonn Brown, Face Book Extraordinaire and Guest Host on tonight's show. We have two women who have agreed to share their intimate relationship details of drama, trauma, and emotional/physical chaos. One woman was in her relationship for almost twenty years, the year after she finally got away, her partner was diagnosed with 'Paranoid Schizophrenia'. Another Lesbian, out of her violent abusive relationship for several years, just by chance, sees her ex-partner and became so in fear for her life "Butch as I am, I ran not walked toward safety and away from her." Relationship violence will not take care of itself or miraculously disappear. Over time the chances are very good that your life and/or the lives of your children will be in danger.

SAN FRANCISCO—Simone, 54, female, lesbian, white, urban. I was with my abusive partner, Tasha, for ten years. “The most recent incident occurred when I told Tasha that I didn’t want to go on vacation with her. She exploded and started yelling, “I want you out of this house,” and threw my clothing and other belongings out of our home. I left and was too frightened to return. I eventually came back to pick up my belongings and Tasha pushed and shoved me, threatened to melt the hard drive on my computer, and said, “If you take anything from this house that is mine, you will draw your last breath.” Tasha threatened to kill me two more times while we were breaking up."Domestic violence in the GLBTQ community is a serious issue. The rates of domestic violence in same-gender relationships is roughly the same as domestic violence against heterosexual women. As in opposite-gendered couples, the problem is likely under-reported. Facing a system which is often oppressive and hostile towards those who identify as anyt

According to Patrik Jonsson(FB), here's pretty much what all of Atlanta, and much of the country, is talking about right now: http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2010/0922/Bishop-Eddie-Long-case-Will-it-alter-black-church-s-view-of-gays. "The point is not whether [Long] is gay or not or he denies or admits it, but this is really about how people [in the black community] FEEL that black people should be represented in public, and that is about being heterosexual," says Melinda Chateauvert, an African-American studies professor at the University of Maryland, in College Park. "There are [millions] of black people who are gay, members of families, pastors of churches, who serve in the military – they're everywhere. But the deliberate closeting – not necessarily by them, but by other people – is really problematic."Jeremiah Camara, wrote The deeper issue at hand has to do with why so many so-called “men of God” are accused of sex crimes. In the Black church, homosexuality is not a new phenomenon—it’s just more in the op

As it was in your Past, So it is Currently. Act like you know:All types of child abuse and neglect leave lasting scars. Some of these scars might be physical, but emotional scarring has long lasting effects throughout life, damaging a child’s sense of self, ability to have healthy relationships, and ability to function at home, at work and/or at school.

Contrary to this old saying, emotional abuse can severely damage a child’s mental health or social development, leaving lifelong psychological scars. Aside from the physical damage that sexual abuse can cause, the emotional component is powerful and far-reaching. Sexually abused children are tormented by shame, abandonment, and guilt. While physical abuse might be the most visible sign, other types of abuse, such as emotional abuse or child neglect, also leave deep, long lasting scars. Some signs of child abuse are subtler than others.Child abuse doesn't only happen in poor families or bad neighborhoods. It crosses all racial, economic, and cultural lines. Sometimes, families who seem to have it all from the outside are hiding a different story behind closed doors. While abuse by strangers does happen, most abusers are family members or others close to the family. Emotional scarring has long lasting effects throughout life, damaging a child’s sense of self, ability to have healthy relationships, and abili

What!!! DrBev, how can I manage my difficult emotions without going postal?Hate. Pain. Revenge. Don’t want to love. Can’t love because…– Rasheed Lee’s emotions spilled out silently in the room full of Jacksonville youths torn by tragedy (jim.schoettler@jacksonville.com.) Rasheed and 53 other Jacksonville boys and girls ages 7 to 17 spent the weekend mixing solemn group therapy — disguised as expressive arts and crafts exercises — with swimming and other fun during the second annual Camp Maddie. The camp is designed in part for young homicide survivors to express their feelings among peers familiar with such emotions, said Glen Mitchell, co-founder of Compassionate Families the kids realize they are not alone. “How do you cope when somebody’s left?” “I believe you start to learning how to live with the hand you have been dealt. When my dad died .... I didn’t talk to nobody. That went on for two years,” another teen said. “I had to realize that by him being gone, I can’t throw my life away. I’m pretty sure

You didn’t see it coming, What? What! One day, you are intensely in love. You’re cuddling on the couch, reading love poems, feeding each other strawberries and playing with ‘whip cream’. Love between two people is the most dangerous of adventures and the most beautiful. To be loved can be the greatest of compliments and the greatest of burdens. "How could you have missed the signs?" Breaking up is never easy. Your ego and heart are bound to get injured. But, what if you could just see the breakup coming; it might make the whole relationship ‘thang’ easier to stomach. While hindsight is 20/20, there are always warning signals along the way. If you're alone right now, there's a healthier way of thinking that will better prepare you to make fulfilling romantic choices.
