    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      Married 11 years to a narcissist with depression and GAD. Just kept holding out hope that he would find the right medication and stay on it and I would find the man I thought I married. 2 kids (4 and 3 mos.) He left when I was pregnant. I couldn't take the verbal abuse anymore and didn't want my daughters to grow up thinking this is how a relationship should be. I have such a hard time communicating and dealing with him. I guess a part of me is still afraid of his rage.

    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      Recently divorced, married for 11 years to a man with depression and GAD. He was very verbally and mentally abusive. Over the years he was quicker to anger and call me names in front of our daughter and not at all likely to apologize for it. We separated while I was pregnant. I cringe at the thought that someday our daughters could end up in a relationship like ours. They deserve so much better.

      I'm enjoying journaling, reaching out to others and hearing from them in return. I need to talk and this allows me to unburden my family a bit.
    • Open Breastfeeding

      My 4 year-old was exlusively breast milk until she was 6 months. Breast plus food 6 months to 1 year. 4 month-old now is breast milk exclusive. I wish I could lactate forever! I think it's the most magical thing my body has ever done!
