Today I went to brunch with an old friend/coworker.  We hadn’t seen each other in years so this is the first time she has seen me “post relationship with a psychopath”.  She had worked with me when I used to be a teacher, so she knew how passionate I have always been about advocating for…

Every time I tell my story, I risk extreme judgement from people who try to wrap their minds around the ridiculousness.  While I have received an overwhelming amount of support from friends, family, and even complete strangers, there is still too often the person who needs to “explain” what about ME put me in this…

When Prince was a couple of months old, I took him to the beach for the first time.  My dramatic exit from Luc’s house had just happened a little over a month earlier and I was still in a bit of shock.  I went from being engaged to a man I “thought” I loved (I…

My son has been gone for exactly one month this week.  Most American families will spend this week celebrating all of the things for which they are thankful.   They will eat until they pass out and will spend time with the ones they love.  I will spend the holiday trying to pretend it isn’t…
