Be Here Now–Ray LaMontagne from Scott Wright on Vimeo. I am not sure why I feel such a connection to it. Maybe it is the title of the song and my momma’s passing. Maybe I want her back so bad I just don’t know.…

Some of the early years

Originally posted 2014-03-19 15:24:53. Listening to the not-so-good advice of my biological father I put my son up for adoption when I had him. On the 3rd day at the hospital I went one way and watched as he went with the foster care/social services worker. I cried thinking at the same time it would be the best thing for him. He was placed in a foster home. His name was “Alex” while in foster…

Reminding Myself

Originally posted 2021-04-16 09:00:00. I saw this meme this morning and it was so right! Over the years I was searching for love. It seemed I was so desperate to find love I was taking whatever came my way. I would “love” them (or pretend to) way more than they ever deserved from me. I didn’t love them, I loved the idea of what I thought was love. I wanted so much to be loved…

Needling

I tried some dry needling today. We don’t know how much and what exactly it will help, but it’s worth a try. He put needles in my leg and in the bottom of my foot. The one that went in my foot was definitely felt lol. The others weren’t really bothersome at all. I keep having issues with the front of my ankle. I have quite a bit of scar tissue in there, so I’m…

I still don’t think he understands the concept but we have transitioned to the part where Christmas is more for children than adults. Well at least the Santa part.

Rollercoaster Ride

Originally posted 2022-12-31 12:57:18. This past week and some change has been a wild one. Started on the night of the 22nd and as of right now still lingering. I woke up to my husband throwing up and wailing in pain. It was odd because it was the same exact pain and complaints from the last time he ended up in the emergency room. The last ER visit didn’t result in a diagnosis, which worried…

The beginning of the toxic relationship

Originally posted 2014-03-18 20:58:28. It was 1992, I was working at Pizza Hut as a waitress and living with a couple who took me in. I met her after committing myself to a mental hospital after being raped by an ex-boyfriends uncle who I thought I could trust. He kept me locked up in the bedroom for weeks. I would try to escape and he would come find me. I tried to tell my boyfriend…
