    I was feeling strong
    I was feeling like I had fight
    I had a positive attitude
    Now, I’m lost
    I feel like I’ve lost faith in the system
    I’ve lost faith in myself
    I have no strength
    I can’t fight
    I want to die
    I want to die
    I want to die
    I think dying would be easier
    I’m mad because I want to watch my daughter grow up
    But I feel like I can’t face the world any longer
    I’m ...

  • Journal Entry for June 20, 2008

    Friday, June 20, 2008 | A Painful story

    He got away with it!  There will be no trial.  The Prosecutor gave him a plea deal and he and his attorney countered for a lesser plea and the Prosecutor accepted it.  The plea was for Misdemeanor Assault with a lifetime No Contact Order.
    It's over!  I'm hurt and upset....
    I'm trying to find the positive in all of this - we could have made it all the way through the ...

  • Monday again

    Monday, June 23, 2008 | A Painful story

    So the weekend came and went - My landlord had his sister and and brother-in-law around and they were actually very nice people, and like my landlord Ian, they like their drinks.
    I did manage to see my children again during the weekend and it was great, although I'm feeling sad that I missed out on my youngest daughters 2nd Birthday this Sunday, because I wasn't allowed back at the house.

  • My son....

    Sunday, November 8, 2009 | A Painful story

    Well, I have not written in my journal for a long time and since I'm going through some painful, stressful shit, I figured now would be a good time to write since I have no one else to talk to about this. It is about my 11 year old son Austin. I don't know what I am going to do anymore. He is totally out of control. He always had problems with hitting and picking on kids younger than hims...
