This was not how I wanted to start my week after Thanksgiving. My husband calls me on his way to work to tell me that the truck told him to immediately turn it off. SO… he pulled over right before entering the base to go to work. It said oil something. I called my bff’s hubbie and got him to get up and go get him and then tow the truck to the dealership. Fast…

I know some folks think if it is bad don’t tell me but wouldn’t you rather know? As I have gotten older there are some things I admit to not wanting to know the truth because the pain I will feel…

He sees me crying, mad, frustrated, etc I can’t escape. All the while trying to repair hurricane florence damage. I have been going to my local massage envy every few weeks for a deep tissue massage. It has helped tremendously from a physical standpoint but not really helped mentally. I need an…

It’s kind of funny because the one that says “you think other people have it worse” is something I always think when I hear someone say or talk about their trauma. Not that in validates my own just that I feel like I may have kind of “gotten over” mine (even though you never really do) just that some people may not have been able to handle the pain from the…
I wish I could explain the feelings going through my veins. To have learned the things I have and to know the things weren’t as they seemed… the shear amount of disappoint is unbelievable. Now to have to deal with all of that is beyond irritating. There are family members that shouldn’t have to even go through this right now but yet here we are. Then another family member is MIA and holds truths that…

I had it in my mind this was just a muscle issue. I guess this also kind of explains why everything I’ve tried to use to ease the pain didn’t 100% work. I went by myself since I didn’t think this appointment was going to…

No one knows how my heart truly feels… No one knows the daily struggle I have within myself… No one knows the guilt… No one knows the feeling of being left behind… No one knows the feeling of holding it all together while you rapidly fall apart… No one knows how my heart hurts… No one knows how I want to be free of the struggle… No one knows why I…
Well…. my dad passed away at first by a heart attack and now was told it was instead an aneurysm. The death certificate has not be signed off on as of this morning because for whatever reason, all 4 of my step siblings all have to physically be there to sign off on it. Why the eldest one can’t do it by himself I don’t know. Thankfully my aunt (technically step aunt) lives in our…
