A new arrival in December

Jack's older sister, Georgie, called me with the news that she and Jonathan will be having Baby #2 in 35 weeks. If they counted right, New Baby will be here near Jack's birthday in December. Jack would have been thrilled to have a new niece or nephew. He was a super-hero to Old Baby, Sophia, who reached up her 2 year old arms to signal that she was ready for a ride on his shoulders. She held on to his hair and yelled, "Yee-haw!" Off he'd lope, whinnying every few steps.



I'm thankful… Continue

Missing my April Fool

It was a long April Fool's Day yesterday. From the time he was a toddler, Jack thought that April Fool's Day was the best fun ever! When he was 2, he used the broom to open the garage door and bounced out from the side of the house with a grin and a loud, "Apil foo's, mommy!" after I ran out of the house in a panic. I learned to never use the sugar or salt without checking, to view meals cooked by Jack on his sacred holiday with suspicion, to let the shower run for a bit without blindly… Continue

holidays and birthdays

Well as if making it past xmas, new years, my husbands birthday, valentines day, wasn't hard enough now my birthday is coming up. LONELY, LONELY, YUK....
OK LORD I KNOW I AM TO ACCEPT HIS DEATH BUT WHY DOES IT WEIGH SO HEAVY ON MY HEART.
HOLD ME UP LORD, HELP ME TO KEEP GOING ON WITHOUT HIM, ONE DAY AT A TIME.
Friends are great, but when couples are around it is a little hard. I guess this shall come to pass..
God bless everyone and hold your head up.

America: 75% Of All Batterers Get Custody Of The Children

America: 75% Rates at which Batterers recieve custody In America.



One statement in Breaking the Silence: Children's Voices that has provoked controversy was my statement that "the studies are showing" that up to 2/3 of accused or adjudicated batterers receive joint or sole custody in court. While no empirical study can definitively determine a universal statistical rate, the key point is that the research consistently shows that accused and adjudicated batterers receive joint or sole… Continue

By Dominique Lasseur

An Introduction To American Stockholm Syndrome

People are often amazed at their own psychological conditions and reactions. Those with depression are stunned when they remember they've thought of killing themselves. Patients recovering from severe psychiatric disturbances are often shocked as they remember their symptoms and behavior during the episode.

American Journalist Kristen Lombardi's Phoenix Globe Article The "Custodians of Abuse"

Custodians of Abuse

by Kristen Lombardi



IF YOU'RE A PARENT, it's your worst nightmare: finding out that your child is being molested — by your spouse. If you seek a divorce as a result, or are already going through one when you make the discovery, you hope that family court will do the right thing: grant you sole legal and physical custody of your child. In fact, you can't even imagine that there could be any other outcome in the custody judgment. But for many parents — in… Continue

She told me itshowed a three-year-old girl clinging to a banister, begging not to be sent to live with her father.As Diane explained, a family court judge had awarded custody of this little girl to her dad despite evidence that he had sexually abused her. The thought of this made my skin crawl… Continue

Today

Well, it's been 5 years and 4 months since my mother transitioned. I typically have a rough time in March because that was her birth month and my sister and I would spend months planning for her birthday. My mother had a very bad earthly life and we wanted so much to make her later years special.



I guess I spend far too many hours thinking of all the wrong things I did to my mother and not nearly enough time thinking about the good times. I wish my brain would remember more of the… Continue

It's only been a week

But it seems like a lifetime now that my Dad died a week ago.

Mom is living by herself. She says she wants to. We shall see. I tell her to cry whenever she can and let it out. I cry when I am not around her, trying to be strong for her.

Last night I was not strong when I realized I would not see my Dad walk into my house again or joke with my girls. They would not get to know Grandpa as the great Dad I had growing up and into adulthood. I am 34 and got to know him for those years. He… Continue

My birthday

I hated my birthdays after the age of 22. Honestly, I thought birthdays were for young people waiting to become teenagers, turn 16, 18 and 21. Over the years, I whined and at times cried on Feb. 23. I remember a couple birthdays my mom called me and I just said "uh, thanks, you know I don't really like celebrating my birthday." Wow, did those words come back to haunt me. Yesterday, the biggest voice of my life was unheard. No phone call from my mom. I did receive many calls, birthday wishes and… Continue

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
