Fallen Pieces
Have you ever looked into the mirror and seen nothing? Absolutely nothing. Just empty open space within the enclosure you stand in. Plink, plink, plink. The tap is dripping, I feel more presence in this sound than in my entire body. Come back Sarah, your son needs you, here and now.

Dealing with Toxic Family During the Holidays
by: E.B. Johnson Let’s face it, while you’re busy making plans — they’re busy preparing their critiques for you (and your life). Your toxic family doesn’t really care if you have a good Christmas, a good Hanukkah, or anything else. No. When it comes to the holiday season, the abusive, toxic, regressive family only cares about their image, their feelings, or the image they’re trying to project. Your surviving the next month is going to require adopting a new perspective. But more than that, it’s going to require acceptance. Acceptance of them, acceptance of you…and acceptance of everything you will never be.

The most hardest, rewarding thing ever!
Being a single mom is the hardest, most empowering thing I’ve ever done. Sometimes I feel like a horrible mom. I catch myself picking up my phone a lot. I have to remind myself that the life I created needs all my attention. One thing I really didn’t expect was the intense isolation that comes with being a single mom. When you’re married, you’re often so used to your partner's constant presence that you can crave having the house to yourself, those were the days. Sure, I’d seen my mother do it, but like her, I never envisioned this for myself. Co-parenting seemed to be something I would only read about in the blogs not see in my real life. However this is my life and I wouldn’t change anything about it.
