Prepare To Be Shocked, Reduced To Tears Yet Amazed & Inspired
I stood alone in the playground this morning, my hood pulled tight to stop the wind howling through my hair, not that it would have made any difference to the style, bed head is the new fashion style in my word. The rain was cold and I pulled my hands up into my sleeves. I don’t normally [...]
I have lost my mother forever, who is alive. I have found some answers why my mother is the way she is, but there is so much I do not know yet. I will find out before my Autobiography is published. My parents have taken me out of their Will so many times I lost [...]
Why is there still racism in the world in the year 2013 when we live in a vastly multicultural society? Why are some people still so narrow minded and racist? You would have hoped by the time people reach adulthood they would have learned to be open minded and accepting of others but apparently not, [...]
It was Kia’s 5th birthday party today and as much as they all had amazing fun, I am shattered. Its been a long day. It was up early this morning to start making sandwiches and the stress of worrying f I had bought enough food to feed 40 kids. I had and as always bought far too much, but [...]
“Just this once,” you used to say, but that was just a lie. You stole my innocence and made your little brother cry. Not just when you touched my skin, throughout my whole existence. Nightmares! Flashbacks! Memories, pursued with great persistence. You would bring me to the basement, in the quiet of the night. I [...]
“I scratch myself” one mum told me when I asked if any of the mums on my Facebook group would like to share their anonymous real life story. Its the first time I have come across someone I know who scratches, so I was intrigued to learn more. Is scratching yourself considered cutting? Yes it is [...]
My friends know how hard these last 2 and a half week have been for me. I don’t want to go into details publicly just yet as we have a long road ahead of us I know. It’s difficult when things “like this” as it leaves us questioning ourselves, despite none of this being my fault. Could [...]
I write a column for a local weekly paper on family issues. When I asked across my social media network what parents wanted to read, bullying and cyber-bullying kept coming up. As a parent I really get this – it’s hard to see a child bullied and even harder to do anything effective about it. [...]
The kids were eager to read the weekly local newspaper this week as we were featured inside. I have stepped right out of my comfort zone and opened up the blog to not only family and friends but to the whole community where I live. Will reading about my bizarre life and the rather controversial [...]
After reading the blog post I Regret Not Having An Abortion I found it difficult, it had brought back many hurtful memories for me as I was put in care and my mum abandoned me. I wanted to share my own experience, I guess from the child’s point of view. The mother who wrote the [...]
Standing in front of you I knew, I knew that if I said the wrong word, made the wrong sound I was in trouble. My arms instinctively provided some small protection from the baby; I was 5 weeks away from giving birth. The monster stood staring back, with such hatred in his eyes, growing at [...]
My boyfriend and I were in love. I was 21 & he was 32. We planned our baby. One day I received a call by a guy, who use to work for the company I worked for. I did not even realize he left the company, but when he worked in the same building as [...]
A ticking time-bomb is what he was. Ready to unleash hell at the slightest mishap. He didn’t understand love, faith or caring. Grief and pain confused him. Incapable of listening and consumed by his anger he’d hurt who I loved and destroy everything I built. He’d crush my world and leave me to pick up [...]
If someone had told me 3 and a half years ago that I would become inspirational and that I would go onto inspire others I would have laughed in their face. Today I was shocked to see my name listed in the Brilliance In Blogging Awards 2013, in the Inspire category. I felt humbled [...]
Is my blog a BDSM blog? I was shocked yet amazed to see 13,996 visits to my blog were made by readers searching for BDSM blog content in a period of 7 months, that’s almost 2,000 searches each month, around 500 searches each week. While dominance and submission relationships are not for the faint hearted thanks [...]
Abortion is still so much of a taboo, far too much stigma is attached to a women’s right to end an unwanted pregnancy. The abortion stories on the blog alone show a variety of reasons and the emotional turmoil attached. Many women are left to face making this life changing decision alone due to fear [...]
It is difficult to know how to support a women after rape. When you are with a woman who has been raped, give them time. I was date raped and it has taken me a log time to come to terms with it. Do not pressure them because that will only push them away. I [...]
Most people think that once you are in the business that your chances of being bullied are next to none. However, adult bullying does happen and can be as devastating to adults as it is for children. Knowing when you are being bullied is the first step in solving the problem. Only then can you [...]
