  • forgive me

    Wednesday, August 6, 2008 | A Painful story

    do you ever wonder if you'll be forgivin for the terrible things that you have done? It's a constant worry on my mind.
    I had Rose when I was 16. My aunt and uncle could not have children and they really wanted to adopt Rose. While I was pregnant, it seemed like the best option for Rose and I, but during the last month of my pregnancy I started having a change of heart, as did my mother. I ...

  • My son's 30th B'day

    Saturday, August 16, 2008 | A Painful story

    First I want to thank you all for your loving support.
    What is so extremely painful and confusing is that my son called me Thursday evening, to tell me that his GF had planned a romantic dinner for him, and that since he met her they usually spend their birthdays together.
    He asked if he could come over Saturday and we could have a relaxing dinner out in the yard. I said fine, no problem.
    Well yes...

My step father was a very cruel and mean man, but he never did anything sexually to us.. Thank God.. Just physical, mental and very much emotionally. My mother only stopped him once. When he was going to throw a lamp at me when I called the police on hi...

  • SAD, depression and grieving my cat

    Wednesday, February 18, 2009 | A Painful story

    It has been 12 days since my cat passed away. I thought that by now the pain would ease. Oh no. I cry every day still, I'm isolating from my friends because I don't know when I'll break down and cry uncontrollably.
    As a result of that my depression and my SAD is worse. I don't know what else to do except live this pain one day at a time. The other night I went to a spiritual meetin...

    I am praynig so hard but hes not going to get better - he's almost 14 ...
