I know that whenever I start getting a lump in the way down deep of my throat, it's time to write. I don't know exactly what it is that I need to say but it's something. Things have been down in the dumps for my family and I. We always seem to struggle with… Read More »

cont... I remember it all so well. It was the beginning of February. I sat there with Pete in our bedroom and told him it was over. I was leaving and not coming back. My parents were welcoming myself and the girls into their home and Pete and I could work out visitation. … Read More »
