I game with my 11 year old son for an hour or so at least 3-4 nights a week. It's a bonding thing for us. I make up for it by burning the midnight oil on school and work stuff, but it's totally worth it. I'm a lifelong gamer since the 80s, but don't have time to play everything I'd like.... right now it's all about that new LEGO Star Wars game with my little man, just like we did 6 or 7 years ago when he was tiny. :)

You definitely need a balance!! Can't take care of loved ones as well if you aren't in the right state of mind, and you need your own time to get there.

I love gaming with my kid, it’s when she opens up and talks more about what’s going on in her life. It’s the best! We’ve been doing that since she was little.

I think it’s over with my SO of 3 years. He tells me he loves me and wants to work things through but has lied to me several times in the past - some which were the same mistake three times. He knows he needs professional help (he’s also on antidepressants and has PTSD) but I don’t know how I can trust him again. Feeling completely broken - cannot believe the situation we’re in. I’m so sad my heart is breaking and I don’t know what to do

I've been avoiding breaking up with someone (I've been dating off and on for a year) for the past few weeks because I can't decide the best way to do it. We're not compatible long-term. He's not seeing anyone else and I've told him I'm seeing other people but he's starting to have relationship expectations for me since we reconnected a few months ago. Any tips for having the conversation? I'd prefer to do it via text but I know people say it's not appropriate and it should be over the phone.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

I am done trying to pretend everything is fine at work. The higher ups on the team kept asking if I’m doing anything fun for the weekend during video calls.
