WHY I DECIDED TO HOMESCHOOL

 

Being a mother in America right now is scarier than ever. School shootings, and active shootings in general, have been on the rise over the last decade. The most recent tragedy occurred at a Texas Elementary School, where nineteen precious babies were viciously robbed of their lives, by a lone active shooter. These children were the same age as my middle child, and the same grade he would be starting next (fourth).  I had considered homeschooling my children, for a few years, but was always scared to take that step. After all, it's a big decision! However, this latest massacre of children,  was the final straw for me.

MOTHER'S DAY 2022

Being a mother is hard, and we mamas deserve a day that celebrates us, and all the hard work we put into raising our children! Mother's Day is the one day a year, that we get to be selfish, and put ourselves first (for once)! This Mother's Day started off right, with my husband surprising me by making me a big breakfast (I don't usually eat breakfast), and giving me flowers, and a card.

TOXIC PARENTING: HOW MY PARENTS FAILED ME

 


In the past, I have written on the subjects of toxic parenting and child estrangement, because these are subjects that I know all too well. I wanted to share my experience with toxic parents, in greater detail. I know a lot of you out there have dealt with, or are currently dealing with, one or both parents who have failed you. Parents who have let you down. Parents who have hurt and damaged you beyond words. I have not one, but two toxic parents, who have continuously failed me throughout adulthood. They failed my older brother also. My sweet, beautiful brother, tragically ended up drinking himself to death, at the age of 44.
