Why my MIL is Toxic AF For over a year now I have been in a relationship. Although I got along with my boyfriends mother originally, everything changed after we got together. Since her son and I got serious, she has hated me. Thought I'm not entirely sure why I do know part of the reason is that she wanted a church girl handpicked by her or a Newfie girl for her son. She has gone from disapproving of our relationship to being downright toxic. This is actually an…

I've recently heard that in Romanian they call bookworms by another name which translates to Library Mouse. I shall henceforth be known as a Library Mouse

My MIL who hates me addressing my 2 month old son while I hold him: 'Are you going to be like your daddy and bring home strays, animals and people?' Me addressing my son: 'Well, better a kind heart than a cold heart, right baby?'

Doug watching Santa Claus 3: 'Santa can't have s*x.' Me to John: 'He was a little chatty on the way back with me.' Doug: 'Santa Claus?'

I was busy feeding our newborn son and wasn't able to get to a task I had meant to. By the time I finished and went to do it I realized it was already done. I thanked my boyfriend and his response was 'Well we're a team, aren't we?' I didn't ask him to do it. He just did it. It might seem a small thing to some people but to me, it meant so much. ❤️

Me: *Reading a story my daughter wrote and pointing out a specific part* 'What's this supposed to say?' Tara: 'I don't know.' Me: 'Okay, what is the character going to do?' Tara: 'I don't know.' Me: ' Where is the story going?' Tara: 'I don't know!' Me: 'You sound like a writer.'

Me: *sitting on the bed and smell cheese chips randomly* Me: *Knocks on door to next room where my boyfriend is* 'I smell cheese chips' Him: *Stares at me.* 'You're getting worse than me.' (Referring to his strong sense of smell)

They're hurting too Divorce or separation is never easy and very often it can get ugly. Never mind the heartbreak of losing or leaving someone you've loved enough to envision your entire future with them; that's bad enough. Add to that a child, or possibly more than one and it's not just the two of you in the relationship suffering. It's a family. Both of you trying to navigate and balance (or possibly aiming to destroy one another out of pure spite) your children are trying…

New Baby On The Way I haven't written on here for a while. Everything has been getting in the way, I suppose. Though if I'm being honest, I've gotten in my own way just as much. I'm not always motivated to write. I guess everyone feels that way at some point. One huge change is that I am now 15 weeks pregnant. We've gotten the first ultrasound and everything looks good to our relief. Sadly, the morning sickness is sticking around. I dealt with it through my entire pregnancy…

Guilty A villain is a villain. Nobody cares about the why or how of it. It matters little the pain, anger, fear or betrayal that leads them to make the choices they make. Nobody cares how you get where you're going, the end result is all that matters. Being broken down time and time again, losing pieces of yourself along the way; how could it not twist you into something else? How could it not make you ugly? Miseria certainly felt ugly most of the time. Her name alone marked…

Apples and Agony The little bell over the door rang merrily just seconds before the sweet scent of fresh baked goods surrounded her in a warm caress. It was still early in the day, just past seven but already the shelves were full of fresh bread and the cases full of sweet delights. *Impossible to choose just one.* Talia thought to herself as she browsed the possibilities. The smell of warm apple drew her to a case on the left, where a batch of tarts was resting next to a…

The Hissing Sound She could hear it. Always there. Always the same. The sound was impossible to ignore. It was maddening. She sat in the corner with her hands over her ears, trying desperately to drown out the clatter. It never worked. How do you block out a noise coming from inside your own head? She'd been ten years old the first time she heard it. She'd been curious, and looked around but hadn't found anything. She'd asked her mother about it. She could hear it, right?…

Twisted Love He bustled around the kitchen, his movements almost as fast as his mind was racing. He had not been this happy in a long time; perhaps never before as happy as now. There was the one time, but this was better than even his best, most precious memory. There was so much to do. So much to plan. A party. They would need cake, of course. Lots of little ones. And chocolate. She did love her chocolate. He had felt a pang when he'd discovered her plans. She had intended…

Injuries and a Broken Phone It seems lately my issues have been piling on even more. I'm currently typing this with one hand since my left one is injured. My left wrist as well as the top of my hand are sore and swollen courtesy of my nine year old. Yesterday she decided she didn't want to go to school. Again. and I decided she would not be staying with us for the day. For a little context, my daughter chose to live with her dad rather than myself and my boyfriend. My ex…

Cursed Woods There are things in this world that aren't meant to be known. At least, that was what Marielle told herself as she ran blindly through the strange forest. Breath, run and don't fall down. Breath, run and don't fall down. In her panicked state it was all she could do to keep those thoughts running through her head. Her lungs and legs ached from the exertion. Stop. Rest a while. Everything is fine. She shook her head as the words seeped into her consciousness.…

Not Quite What I Had In Mind I realize this is a few days late. I did mean to write this article a couple days ago but it slipped my mind and when I did remember again, I just didn't have the motivation. This past Valentines Day was my first one with my new boyfriend. I was both looking forward to it and not. Holidays always have a way of getting messed up in one form or another. That's just always been the case for me no matter what I do or how I try. Sadly, this Valentines…

Who Am I? The problem with making a major change is that it forces you to look at things differently, including yourself. For the past 14 years, I've been a wife. For the past 9 years, I've been a mom. Before that I was a sister and a daughter. I'm still a sister and a daughter. Even if I don't talk to one of my parents. I'm still a mom even though my daughter isn't with me full time anymore. I'm not a wife anymore. I spent so many years focusing on others, 24/7 it was about…

Not Just Headaches I've suffered from migraines for as long as I can remember, since before I had even heard of them. At the age of 9, I finally realized that they were not normal headaches, though I had no clue what they actually were. At the age of twelve, I remember coming home crying my eyes out because the pain was even more intense than before. I felt sick, clammy, and had stumbled home half blind before finally regaining full sight just in time for the pain to kick…

My Version Of 'God' There are many theories and opinions on what kind of higher being or power may exist in the universe. I personally try to be open minded but even I have my own theory on the subject. When I was younger, I was pushed into going to church even though I didn't hold with the beliefs. Ironically enough, it was an Atheist that forced me into going. Although it was never confirmed for me, I strongly believe his only motivation to forcing the issue was to make me…

It's A Mess Inside My Head I'm not sure how long this article will actually be but I'm writing it anyway. A lot of things have changed in the past while and I'm still trying to adjust. I've been massively stressed and it seems every time I start to feel a little bit better, something drags me back to the dark. Honestly my head is just too full right now and I guess I'm hoping typing out some of what's going on in my head will help. I left the man I spent 14 years with. There…

How many Bell technicians does it take to move internet service? Answer: 5 One to come out and say they can't do it, Another to lay the outside line, One to say they can't find the house Another to come in, look around and leave Another to finally come and activate the service.

Time Brings Major Change I wish I could say it's just been a long time since I've published anything on here, but that's not the entire truth. it's actually been a long time (longer than I care to admit) since I've written anything at all. I went through a really rough patch in more ways than one. This past year I've been suffering from horrible depression. Though I am happier now, I still wrestle with my demons some days. There's been a lot of changes since I was last on…

Please Understand I can feel it getting bad again. I find myself biting my tongue and gritting my teeth far too often right now. I'm doing my best to not snap as almost anything seems to set me off at the moment. I am forcing myself to eat because I know I have to but the truth is, I just don't care to. Talking to people right now feels like a chore rather than a pleasure. I recognize the signs; having dealt with this for so long I should recognize them by now. I'm trying my…

Tara to me because I was gone for one night 'I missed you. Don't ever go away for a week.' Me: 'It was one night and you were with your dad. I don't think you two would manage a week anyway.' *Tara pushing on wrong side of door to leave the store* Me: 'Other side.' Tara: 'Pushes wrong side again* Me: 'Push the other side.' Tara: *Pushes wrong side again* Me: *Hands full and can't get to the door from my angle* 'Push the other side.' Tara: *Finally catches on and pushes the…
