So I Continue to Pretend My Life Will Never End

Parenting a child with autism alone while dealing with domestic violence. The results of pouring all your energy into your children and then paying for it with your health, possibly even your life.

Lawyers and Legal Theater

A General Observation of Attorneys: Corrupt, Money Laundering and Parasitic Lawyers generally are not to be trusted. In the years when my father was practicing as an attorney- over three decades past and his father before him in the 1950s and on-I believe that there was still some semblance of legal ethics. Still some regardContinue reading “Lawyers and Legal Theater”

Parental Alienation Part I:

My sons father has always been kind of a combative person. He’s always been insecure about himself and generally kind of unhappy. I met him when I was still married but was having some marriage issues. I married young and even though my husband was a good friend to me- we were just too youngContinue reading “Parental Alienation Part I:”

Should My Son Wonder If I Listened…

Update on my son…he’s still at his father’s. I suspect he enjoys not being held accountable there. His father and I have a different opinion on child raising. Mine is that you raise a kid to one day be independent. His is…something else. Over there, my son is on easy street. No chores, no learningContinue reading “Should My Son Wonder If I Listened…”

To Keep Fighting The Abuser or To Give Up

A narrative of personal nature that is also unfortunately affecting many women who choose to leave their abusers with whom they share children.

I used to think insults, controlling my movements and treating me as a subject or objectContinue reading “To Keep Fighting The Abuser or To Give Up”

The Slow Loss of my Daughter to her Abusive Father

He didn’t want me to have a baby. That’s when it started. He tried to first convince me I was imagining the pregnancy, what purpose that would serve, I don’t know. Then once it was clear, he began to harass and pick at me, hoping I would become so anxious I would have a miscarriage.Continue reading “The Slow Loss of my Daughter to her Abusive Father”

To Shoshana, wherever I May Find Her…

My only daughter. There were so many smiles, so many laughs, so much happiness until we learned that this was temporary. The love would always stay, but dampened, stamped upon, ground out like old pieces of wood…no longer useful to the owner. And owner there is. Despite the life being harvested, nurtured and flourished byContinue reading “To Shoshana, wherever I May Find Her…”

There is no “sisterhood”. It’s every woman for herself.

Please don’t send me political stuff right now. I have way too much personal stuff to deal with, I don’t have the time or energy for anything else. Unless it’s advocating for abused children and the family court system- how they have no oversight and give kids away to abusers every single day. If youContinue reading “There is no “sisterhood”. It’s every woman for herself.”

Family court will break you and force you to hide what you could have treated

You cannot go in for therapy. You cannot. You cannot admit any personal defects. Against the rules. You must be perfect at all times. No exaggeration here. Feelings are to be kept to oneself always. They are not allowed in family court. They are not allowed amongst parents- period. As long as the government isContinue reading “Family court will break you and force you to hide what you could have treated”
