I've been suffering from Bi-polar Disorder, Severe Depression, Schizoaffective Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, and an Attachment Disorder for as long as I can remember. Even though i'm medicated for the Bi-Polar and the Depression these illnesses plague my life every day. My Illnesses make it hard to maintain positive relationships with family and friends. My depression made me have a major setback in school. I wouldn't go for months at a time and since I had a hard time making friends, I would get into fights a lot and have manic episodes where I would be kind've mean and in Junior high, no one understood my illnesses. I was forced to transfer schools twice and I was put on an I.E.P (Individualized Education Plan) for my behavioral problems. I felt like an outcast and was treated as such. I did manage to graduate high school in 07' after I gave birth to my first child. My illnesses got the best of me and I went into a deep post-partum depression. I would not get out of bed for that child. My sister then took over the role of mother and to this day raises him because I wasn't ready mentally and is on the road to adoption. in 2009 I gave birth to another son and struggled but mentally was doing better. Until the husband and I moved back to Ohio from Honolulu, Hawaii. The move devastated me as well as my husband's aggression towards me and I fell back into a severe depression. I stopped taking care of my child to the point of full blown neglect. I felt horrible but at that point the illnesses were to strong to fight. I separated from my husband and in 2011 became med compliant... (407 More Words)

Cops, Villians??

When I was little I saw a specific officer all the time, his name Officer Bill. He was blonde haired and blue eyed and wore glasses. He hosted every Bicycle Rodeo at my school and came to every meet and greet to talk about school safety. The whole nine yards cross streets with an adult and never talk to strangers routine. I NEVER saw him as an enemy but as a hero. Now a days he could be shot dead just because he chose a career as an officer. I NEVER thought police officers were bad people I was taught that when an officer asked you to do something, you complied no questions asked. You would... (160 more words)

My son, Fur-Daughter, and Myself

So I see a lot of comments where pet owners are not parents. Why? Puppies, Kittens, Cats, Dogs they're all like children, Aren't they? You have to bathe, feed, potty train them, give them lots of love and affection. They are very much like children if not more so. My puppy gets into everything and makes a mess wherever she goes, just like my son does. I have friends who would die for their pets. their pets are their babies. My "Pessa" is MY baby girl and I tell my son I have 2 babies. Him and her. so now when we all cuddle he says "mommy's two babies" He loves his fur-sister and always wants to be around her. So I'm having trouble seeing why pet owners like my friends and myself can't consider our pets our children or our "fur-babies". Everyone says dogs and cats are like children but they can't be "mommy's girl" or "daddy's boy"? That makes no sense. I say hell with it. If you have a pet you love with all your heart that you consider it a fur-child celebrate Mother's day or Father's day you ARE a parent to a child it just so happens to have paws and a tail instead of hands and feet. I consider myself lucky to be the mother of a person as well as a fur-baby. I love them both!

Modern VS. Vintage

So today I've been thinking, what happened to old time romance? Wooing a girl and going steady? Now it's online dating and "here's a picture of my d**k". My parents have been married for 40+ years, now a days people get divorced in a year. I may just be old fashioned when I say this but am I wrong for wanting a guy to buy me flowers on a first date instead of condoms? Ladies and gentleman are a rare and possibly dead breed. What happened to the women who waited for their man to come back from war? Now most of them soldiers get "Dear John" letters because they found another man or woman since Women can serve now too... Girls from back in the day in my opinion were classy they were conservative and feminine NOT that being feminine is a bad thing but it seems as time goes on women wear less and less because the idea of being classified as "sexy" has a new meaning these days. It's all about chest and backsides hanging out... (208 more words)
