So last night I called him and asked for him to bring home hamburger buns for his burgers (the kids and I were fine eating them on bread, but I knew he wouldn't be.) He asks me why he has to pick...

I have been wondering how I came to be in this place and so down and unsure of the future for some time now. I realize intellectually that I allowed this to happen--admitting this part was easy--but...

Haven't been sleeping really well and my mind has been forcing me to relive experiences that I minimized and discounted when they originally happened. It's a product of immersing myself in books and...

This year I will be a better mother. I have failed miserably at this most important job and wasn't even aware of it. I thought loving my kids with all of my heart and trying my best to shield them...

It has taken me a few days to process the debacle that was Christmas this year. I wasn't sure I could even write about it, or that I wanted to, but I know that if I don't it will just become another...

In my brightest moments I feel strong. Strong enough to really succeed at whatever I decide I want to do; strong enough to be the mother, the daughter, the sister and aunt, friend, the PERSON I know...

I genuinely like to see the good in people. I hate negativity and I genuinely like people. Unless and until you prove me wrong (and even then there's a good bet I'll excuse it) I believe and trust in...

My strolls down memory lane and the drama of the last few weeks have led me to seriously take stock of myself. I know, I get this way often, but something feels different this time. Maybe it's the...

I guess I have too much time on my hands today. I seem to be doing a lot of wallowing in the past. I am going to write it out because apparently, even though I thought this was over and done for me,...

That title is apt for the past couple of weeks in my life. You would think I would be happy, positive, and looking for the next phase in my life after having completed four years of online school and...

I posted this in the forum for thoughts, but wanted to put it down here so I could always remember it. Even at this point, I am still left with gaps in my memory of what happened. I just remember the...

Just had to get this down really quickly. A little background first: T does not get home before 10 PM ordinarily--every single day. He is gone before we get up in the morning and stays gone;...

Every snide remark; every comment disguised as "helpful advice" or a joke--when we both realize it is neither; every demeaning comment or angry word when I try to ask a legitimate question that is my...

I'm tired. I've been here before, but each time it feels like I am being sucked deeper and deeper than the last--like maybe I won't be able to drag myself out this time. I know I can. I love my...

Okay, I wrote that I am going to be trying to get clear about my own motivations and issues so that I can actually move forward with my life--for my sake and sanity and for my kids' health....
