    I was sitting in my therapist’s office, and we were doing our usual dance. I was basically begging her for some sort of answer to the questions: Why am I still with this person? Why can’t I quit him? Tell me what to do, just tell me exactly how to walk away…for good.  But therapists…

    One Year Later

    You found me dressed in black. Hiding way up at the back. Life had broken my heart into pieces. You took my hand in yours. You started breaking down my walls. And you covered my heart in kisses. I thought life had passed me by. Missed my tears, ignored my cries. Life had broken my…

    Dear Baby Jesus, Please Don’t Let Me Ruin This

    When you leave a tumultuous relationship and start one that is actually, what’s the word? Healthy? It can leave your brain going, uh BRO, what’s happening here?! My on-and-off-on-and-off until the end of time relationship was with a very insecure man. He spewed hateful words at me when he lost his temper, then denied ever…

    My Touchstone Couple

    When my marriage hit the crapper, I wasn’t shocked. I created it. I did it, and I watched it come to an end. But I was taken aback by just how quickly it unraveled. One loose thread, overlooked, and it was over.  Signing my divorce decree was sad and humbling but not devastating. We had… Read more

    The Kid I Never Knew I Wanted

    I never wanted children. Growing up, I never fantasized about future kids because I wouldn’t have them. Kids, to me, were messy and sticky, not funny, and so annoying. Growing up, I had a wonderful and loving mother who put her children first in everything she did. And my brain thought, HARD PASS on that! … Read more
