  • Will I always be this confused?

    Thursday, April 16, 2009 | A Venting story

    So I've been back to work for a little over a month now and it feels as if I haven't had a break in years and I need one. One day I think that I can do this and the next day I am sure that I can't and am ready to give up and go home again.  I know if I go on disability again it will be for good and I don't think that I am ready for that but I can't shake this inadaquate f...

    Thursday, August 28, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Don't talk about what you don't know. You've been part of this family for, what, three maybe four years? You don't know him like I know him. And don't tell me "people make mistakes". Raping me for 10 years was not "a mistake". groping me and staring at me for the last 6 years was not "a mistake". her hitting me might  have been a "m...

    Saturday, October 18, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    besides the fact that my hubby has been an absolute rock lately as we prepare to move back to our rental property in order to "downsize" and save money. He has basically packed the entire house! I wake up this afternoon, after two or three days of increased fatigue, knowing full well that I am in the beginning of a full blown relapse. wonderful. we should be moving in the next few days....

    He's not going to trial. Once again there's "not enough evidence". Fuck. Ten years of rape, six more years of sexual harrassment/abuse and what does he get? Nothing.

    Monday, January 12, 2009 | An Anxious story

    All my stress symptoms are going off at once- my chest hurts, my shoulder is painfully tight, my ear is bright red and radiating heat. Why? Well this morning I recieved an e-mail saying that while my status at school was no longer "academic dismissal" it is now "academic suspension". I can't start classes until the grade comes up. I'm so freaking out. Luckily my aunt a...

    Saturday, October 4, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    So I got an e-mail from my mom. In response to the letters I sent. My dad's reaction of course is to let my mom take care of it.
    Daddy and I were hurt to read the version of our family life that you have constructed. However, we both love you and want to see you become an independent and happy adult.
    I am disappointed that you won't be coming home for a quick visit next weekend but you need...

    Sunday, August 3, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    I hate getting told to forgive my parents- especially my father. "Forgive their short-comings", "don't hold their mistakes against them". Since when is being a rapist a short-coming and over 10 years of abuse a mistake? It makes me so mad. Especially when it's people who don't believe me when I tell them what my dad did to me (like my grandparents).
