The spring of 2009 was surreal. In the midst of a high risk pregnancy and a less-than blissful honeymoon of a marriage, I was at war. I was at war with family, friends, and enemies. I deemed my husband, his mistress, and anyone who knew about his affair as the enemy. I prayed even though…
…does not come easy when you’re in a toxic relationship. As a matter of fact, when it becomes unbearable and uncontrollable some times you have to let things go. The best thing to do at that point is to give the issues of a bad relationship to God. One of two things will happen: 1.…
Own up to your mistakes. Own up to the bad choices that you’ve made. Own up to the selfish need to be right. Own up to the fear of being alone. Own up to the fear of rejection. Own up to the fact that you love him, but he doesn’t love you. Own up to…

Wishing all of the fathers, stepfathers, and guys who are caring for someone else’s child(ren) a happy father’s day. It is not easy raising children, and they will break the toughest man down. I’ve seen a sign that said, “No matter how tough you are, when a two year old hands you a toy phone,…
