It's been a few days since I got the papers and a few days since I had the chat with my daughter. The chat where she told me she didn't want to do what wasn't "fair for dad".

My ex-husband has served me with legal papers for the umpteenth time. He doesn't want to pay child support . He has NEVER wanted to pay child support. I realize that this is not an uncommon problem. To be honest... If he would go away... Leave me alone... Leave our children alone... I would be okay. But that's not the case. He...

I really do give myself credit... I am an AMAZING person.. a fighter, strong, compassionate, loving, moral. I know these things about myself. But a person can only do so much, take so much before they reach a limit. I am at my limit.

I am in CONSTANT struggle... Who is my ally; who is not my ally? Occasionally I step outside of my comfort zone and reveal a teeny part of myself to test the water. That happened this week.... A meme/photo came up on Facebook. "My rapist doesn't know he's a rapist" read the sign. A beautiful young woman in her 20s held the...

Friendships

Posted by ButtercupPr  
The blessing in all of my madness is self discovery. The last month or two have been a whirlwind of hurt. I am a mother of 4 amazing children 3 of whom I share with my ex-husband. The younger 2 of the 3 are very involved in extra curricular activities which require a lot of my time. Of course my ex is also involved. For some this wouldn't...

Posted by ButtercupPr  
As I stated in a previous post I recently sought out a therapist. Things were rough for me emotionally and it seemed like a good idea. Now that I have managed to tuck everything safely back inside I find myself wondering what I was thinking.

Posted by ButtercupPr  
The wild and crazy events of the last few months brought me to a breaking point. I was honestly in a place where I was afraid of doing/saying something I would regret. I teach school.... so, in the current climate I was really concerned.
