Neglect 9/22/2016
Neglect can still result in death Doing nothing is just as harmful as tripping someone as they walk down a hill. My first thought was to compare neglect to forgetting to water plants, but that symbolism is not mine. A therapist used that analogy to describe untended relationships; they wither and die.

Gift 12/28/2016
Finally getting Girlie to go to sleep this morning was my gift from her. I'm sure she didn't plan it any more than the average three year old plans to be awake screaming through most of the night, but I'm taking this gift from my child as a cherished one. My fourth child has some…

What makes me feel lonely is the realization that someone I love is not listening, so why bother talking anymore I have a toddler to cuddle, children to talk to, friends to commiserate with cats to confuse me and strangers to meet who will feign interest if only…
Obviously, I don’t get it.
He puts his head down as I talk He never responds when I ask questions Obviously, my questions hurt him His soul is a one celled organism Speaking to no one hearing only attack, slight, and complaints. I want to know because I don't understand. I do not want or intend to hurt him. Getting…
