    Sunday, August 16, 2009 | A Venting story

    OK well this is my first journal entry - and I'm writing it because I'm in a bit of a sulk. I feel like the only child in the class not to get a party invitation, or the last one getting picked for rounders. I know I'm a grown-up but there you go.
    I was diagnosed on 10 June 2009, and it's been a bit up and down since then. I'm still working out my boundaries, and I have go...

  • 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, April 7, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    I received a call from the Prosecuting Attorney today.  She wanted to get my thoughts and feelings about a plea deal.  She went on to tell me that "he" will not plea to any kind of sexual offense.  He will plea to assault (not sexual) for the bruises he left on me.  She then told me that his attorney is tough and rarely loses a case.  She told me that his attorn...

  • First journal entry..

    Sunday, March 16, 2008 | A Venting story

    Not sure if anyone will read this, but it'll help to vent a little, and I suppose it's good to document everything that has transpired up to this point somewhere.
    I went and saw my doctor on February 27th for girl related problems. She put me on a modified dose of the pill (Ovral 21.) I was to take three pills a day for three days, the two pills a day for three days, then one pill a d...

  • Prayer Warriors Needed

    Wednesday, July 30, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I'm requesting as many prayers as possible for my 13 year old daughter Brooke. She returned from a mission trip to New Orleans last week not feeling well. Since that time she has developed numerous symptoms that are cause for concern including terrible headaches, memory lapses/loss and flu symptoms. The doctors can't seem to pinpoint exactly what is going on. It could be a virus running i...
