To put a little context to my “me too” comment. TW/CW: all kinds of abuse, harassment, and molestation. I won’t pull any punches, this is not going to be graphic, but I am talking frankly about what happened to me. More importantly, by actually talking about this I’m working on …
These are issues that I still struggle with, to this day to one degree or another. I do have a better sense of self-worth, but I still think that if something bad happens… that I did something wrong for it to happen to me. The degree to which this instilled …
Then there was living with my mom’s ex best friend… that was a living nightmare. Every night I would hope for some way to escape. I would wish that someone would take me away from this place. There were a lot of things that happened there that are absolutely beyond …
The next major event that I remember was my mom not really being there for me. At the time, my mother was undiagnosed for bipolar. She was medicating how worked best for her at the time. While I understand that, it also meant that I had to step up and …

I don’t often cite Family Guy as a source for deeper thought. I mean, come on, it’s not exactly a bastion of good lessons or real thought. It’s mostly base and crass humor. Occasionally they have some great episodes, or parts that are poignant… sometimes they hit close to home. …
I’ve been thinking as of late… about things I probably shouldn’t be. I’ve stayed too long in the dark recesses of my brain. I wish that I didn’t necessary feel the need to do so, but sometimes that’s just how it goes. I’ve been talking, as of late, of confronting …
Once every 3 months, I always deal with this emotional roller coaster. It’s largely due to hormones. As a woman, this gets to be both frustrating and an interesting learning experience. This time, it’s probably been the most debilitating to my self-esteem. Something I admit to is that I’ve always had poor …
I’m feeling on edge right now. I feel as though I’m back in a spot that I took myself out of many years ago. I don’t think I’m a victim, but I also still feel incredibly thin-skinned. There are certain names that when I see them I find myself dealing …
It’s a sad state of affairs when certain things that you get used to. Things that shouldn’t be OK. Things that one shouldn’t hear . One of the things that I’ve grown accustom to hearing is that I’m never good enough. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been …
