  • The knowing

    Wednesday, September 17, 2008 | A Sad story

    I grew up in a "conservative baptist" home, went to a christian private school,(dont recommend!!! ) and have extremely religious parents. Everything in my upbringing was very black and white.

    And I am torn.
    I want this to be gone. I want all of this to never have happened. It caused me so much pain, more pain than I have had from any other relationship, and I just want...

I got home and passed out for 30 minutes and woke up to a sudden urge to vomit. YU...

    Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | A Frustrating story

I have fought along side her every day of her life, almost 17 years, I have watched her struggle. I had to make a very difficult decision when she was a year and a half old, due to where we lived and the way so many children who are lab...
