Hey guys..
so remember how a little while ago I posted about the trauma of my childhood..
well today is my dads birthday, him and I actually have a great relationship now. I posted a good little post on FB about him, yet I'm worried about what my mom will say due to the fact her post was bland due to the fact we really don't talk much. It was a quick post and I don't have many pics with her anyway.
he's apologized for everything in the past and it helped me move on, though I do not forgive him or forget what he said.. I have moved on. He tells me how proud he is of me, he genuinely cares about my mental health, and he supports me being in therapy and on medication to help subside the symptoms. ( Bipolar, anxiety/panic, and the nightmares) He's actually a really great guy, he's come along way.
I feel really guilty about my moms post.. should I? Hers was on the 7th. I feel shitty.
I also barely slept last night, I couldn't take my sleep medication and it helps with the nightmares... I was up all night. Now for the next two weeks I'm on day shift. We work 5 12's one week and 2 12's the next week.
caffine is the only thing that gets me through. (And you guys.. y'all are one of the best support systems I have, thank you all from the bottom of my heart <3)
Anyways, how is everyone? Hopefully you all have had some good days last week. Here's to another week, we got this

Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...

Hey all, i know its been quite awhile since i posted on here. Its been a summer all right. Its been something else........... You know how they say not to open the can of worms? Well a few months ago i decided to find out what my due date would have been for my first baby, the one conceived by r***. My baby would have been due on March 4th of 2006. They would be 20 years old. I was R**** on June...
Steadying support while you get through the anniversary.
Hope healing happens here.
How am I?
The second anniversary of my son's fatal car wreck is next week. "Holding steady" is the best I'm hoping for for this week. Looking for the collateral beauties.
My heart is with you on this anniversary of your sons passing. I have a tattoo that says I will never let you go, and I never will. It’s two hands holding on to each other as if the other one is falling. It’s like they are speaking to each other stating they will never let the other go.. it’s a metaphor/reminder to never let myself go, no matter how bad things get. there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Much love to you.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to spend his birthday with him, he was called into work.
Hopefully I’ll get to see him today though!
