Mothers day was hard; not quite as hard as the first one after my discovery, but nevertheless, it was hard. How do you wish someone a happy mothers day when you are so angry. After you have matured enough to realize what a shit parent you had and shitty childhood. How she manipulated you. But,…

I always considered myself as being really close to my mom. It wasn’t until this whole NPE experience I really took time to look back on my relationship with her and my life. When looking back I realize so much as an adult that I didn’t see as a child and wasn’t able to see…

This past weekend my brother was admitted to the ICU for kidney failure. I’ve always been close to my older brother. He was the first person I told about Dennis (other than my husband). It’s been really difficult thinking we would lose him. Sitting hours in that family waiting room surrounded by family, MY FAMILY,…

Things with my parents had been rough for the last couple years. My parent’s sold their house of 45 years and moved into a duplex home a mile and a half away from my grandma. This was to give them no maintenance, single floor living but also to live closer to my grandma for my…

Can she be honest? I am not sure. Lies are her way of life. I completely believe she doesn’t know how to tell the truth. Looking back at my not so stellar childhood, she’s never been honest. She was in a relationship with another man for many years. When I say many, I mean upwards…

This has been the worst thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. At this point the only people who knew this whole screwed up situation were my husband, my best friend Kathy and my brothers. I know I need to confront my mother, but I am not even not sure she will be honest. I…
