But their bond is one that I can’t explain. They have been together in even the most traumatic event like the times when child protective services took them away from me on the spot. I remember that like it…

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…

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…

I have been told on several occasions that I ought to ”write a book” about our lives. I am not beyond sharing our story I just don’t want the ”wrong” attention. You have people who are always going to be the skeptic, the non-believer, the supporter, etc…well I…

The PA even said they normally do not have to specify to put all films on a disc but I guess someone decided to do it their own way, who knows. I just have to get the other films on disc and give them to him next appointment. Get…
Originally posted 2017-02-09 16:50:48. If you have read all my posts you may recall when I mentioned something about Dusty and him almost getting on an ice cream truck. Kayla kept him from listening to the guy that was trying to get him on the truck. As a parent things like this terrifies the hell out of me. Well, you would think anyone would worry about someone kidnapping a child, even more if it’s a…

Originally posted 2021-03-22 17:33:25. Yesterday we went out to find my nephew’s birthday present. We met up with my daughter who also brought my grandbaby. We got there and we needed to use the bathroom. Since it was several of us we took turns. For some reason this bathroom had a limited amount of stalls. You would have thought they would have had more than that but maybe it is a covid-19 thing. The men’s…
