FACEBOOK POST To the Other Parent Who Didn’t Show Up We made this child together. But I’ve been raising them alone. And I don’t mean just physically— I mean emotionally, mentally, spiritually.

FACEBOOK POST You Don’t Get to Use “I Provide” as a Weapon If he asked you to stay home… If he said, “I want you to raise the kids,” “It’s better if one of us is fully present,” “Don’t worry—I’ve got us”— Then no, he doesn’t get to turn around and use that as leverage.…

To the woman who had an affair with my husband*  I have gone back and forth for weeks now regarding addressing you and in what capacity would be best suited.  Since you have played victim, have lied, been vindictive, and are in need of validation of your role in this situation, I felt a letter&he...

I suppose it's time to do an introduction of sorts as to who the hell am I? As I typed I should let it be known that I wonder what my voice sounds like to you, as you read my entries - I like to consider myself an OG OD writer; I had my first…
