I am struggling so much right now it hurts. I have cried so much lately I am exhausted and can not shed another tear. I feel hurt. Today is a day I ask myself why do i have to have the labels I do. Why can I not be like the "normal" people who can go about their day to day life without a second...

How do I respond to my Dad?Yes my brother is not here anymore. Yes his passing was sudden. He spent years favoring my one brother. My brother made many bad choices that my dad choose to dismiss. My brother could do no wrong.He claims he does not abandon anyone in need yet he choose his job when...

I have this fear that has actually turned into a phobia. My phobia has to do with my eyes. I have told people I would rather go blind then get any sort of procedure to fix my eyes. I am very nearsighted. I can not wear contacts in fact my one and only fitting did not go well. From that day I...

I have been reflecting on my past which has been filled with trauma after trauma. I got triggered big time by a friend. I know he did not mean to but some of the things he said did trigger me.

I do not feel guilty wishing that harm would come to both my ex and his dad. They were extremely abusive towards and got away with it. I will be so happy the day they die but for the sake of the kids will act concerned.

It is frustrating everything I do to protect my kids I am the one getting in trouble not my ex. I am the one that looks like the monster, trouble causing bitch while he looks like the ever loving, concerned parent he is not.

Today has been extremely long and emotional. I have been on the been so discouraged in the court system. I can not count how many times I felt like throwing in the towel. I have been humiliated, judged unfairly, my parenting ability questioned because of my mental illness. Yet I pick myself up...
