Our people also have added stress of culture bezti and worrying bout izzat and wider family etc

Sometimes women dealing with alcoholic husbands or out of control children develop depression and need support and find it in spirituality- that's the big help of religion many men who don't quite make it in life or are unhappy with their jobs or children turn to alcohol instead of religion to deal with depression esp as they feel emabarassed to talk to anyone as it may make them look weak! More women turn to faith than men as they at least can open up to other women quicker. Whereas as a man we want to look tough and will be seen as weak if we talk bout feelings Life is too short it's best to try and smile and make others smile esp loved ones and try to avoid upsetting loved ones esp our elders

Nice topic and one the needs to be addressed/discussed in more detail. 1. its a lack of knowledge of the issue 2. outright fear caused by a lack of knowledge 3. Not wanting to accept that their loved one has a problem 4. many people often go into deep depression without really even knowing about it, got to stay happy and positive, AVOID negative people

Surely the original poster seems to be taking the mick with the question!

well said Jonny

WJKK WJKF Hello to everyone on the forum seems pretty interesting! ummm Sounds like a gujju/bhaiya Muslim or Hindu or maybe or an apna elder from India. I note in one programme he goes by his alleged first name and in the other show he goes by an alleged surname Mr Singh however his vitriol remains the same, the only suspicious thing is why did he go off on a tangent talking about Hindus, unless he purposely wanted folks to think he was a Hindu, rather than something else and stirr things? Anyway enough of of the speculation, and conspiracy theories, he could just be one of those old fashioned Indian brainwashed uncles! But more importantly, whats the latest from the Leamington committee? any resolution? What faith was the boy the girl marrying? why isnt there a clear cut edict either way? how did the incident occur in the first place? Sorry didnt have time to read though all the pages lol whats the likelihood of this happening ? I think its important not to be distracted from the core root of the problem - primary issues, & how it can resolved amicably - avoided in the future,
