• Abuse

    Hey, everyone. Sorry its been a hot minute since I last wrote, but work has been crazy and we’ve been busy as a family. A lot has also happened recently on “the other side” that I’ll write about in later posts. I’ve been trying to decide what my next blog post would be about, until…

  • New Year’s was nothing to write home about, but most holidays were ruined in one way or another. January 5, 2011 was a day that would change my life forever, because of the choices I made and because of the actions of one person. I am sure you can guess who that person is. The…
