Yes, I think so. I think if I have an issue I need or want advice about, I'll start a thread on it. Otherwise, to me, the threads are for other people to work out their issues or discuss their issues, even if it seems often that mine or others' issues get taken up.

I think I got this misunderstanding cleared up with Jim and Yossarian. You'd have a lot of reading to do to find it, but to summarize, I understood that you were saying and he was saying I was responsible and it was my fault that my brother etc. always gets angry at me, that I am difficult to live with and for how people treat me. When that came to light, Jim told me it is responsibility for my own happiness and not for my brother's or anyone else's behavior. It's very different than what I thought.
One step that improves my life extremely is getting and staying away from family people.
