The Schizophrenic Mom
Bio
I am a mother of 2 precious angels who drive me slightly more crazy
than I already am with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.
When asked "are you crazy?!" my favorite come back is:
"yes! And I have the papers to prove it! How about you?" LOL

Fleeing Home - Again.... Content Warning.
Today I am not going to lie about or sugarcoat how I am doing. I am doing terribly. My children and I ended up fleeing our home last night. Again. Because of a man who decided to tell me that I had no other option than that he was going to be accessing my property.

Be Like Jesus... No - Don't!
My kids and I are Seventh Day Adventists. It is the closest organized religion that I resonate with... for the most part. A key thing is that Saturdays are our Sabbaths. So, today, Sabbath school lessons were not published on the website I use. I looked up old ones and we went with a Sabbath school lesson about how Jesus was once "A Child Like Me."

Learning Abuse is Okay. Content Warning.
My coparent and I agreed on when our children would call me. A schedule because he said that I was interfering with his parenting time. Our children have long called me twice a day if I wasn't physically available to them. I understand how much my ex hates it, but hey, I hate things too - it is called putting our children first.

Reflecting on Past New Years
This year I can feel the changes that I have gone through. Gone is the timid little thing that was often invisible, but I'm not sure if I have completed the transformation into the dragon that I knew was my destiny early last year.

The Last Day of 2025. Content Warning.
2025 was an objectively hard year for me. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't extremely thrilled to be done with whatever this last year has been! It is fitting that I want to use Wednesdays to write wacky things... and the end of 2025 is on a Wednesday - as it has been one wacky year!

My Experience on Silencing Autism
I wanted to do an educational article on something that has recently come up in my attention. I was having lunch with some of my peers - and one of the ladies spoke briefly about someone she provides care for: "You know, so-and-so still is so loud and needs to learn to not make everyone miserable just because she is miserable." The so-and-so is an autistic individual and I wanted to say something then, but bit my tongue.

A List Taller than My Capabilities...
Today was a Sunday without my kids and typically I try to get a lot done, but today I slept - a lot. I didn't wake up until 9am. Stayed up until almost 10am in order to talk to my kids, and then slept until after 11am.

A Headache, Pain Killers, Surgery... and then drama.... Content Warning.
This week has been really hard. My oldest ended up in the ER last weekend due to severe ear pain. He had an ear infection. I updated his father and let him know that we would need to come up with a joint plan for medication transfer. His father informed me that I would have to give him access to my mailbox/property. I said no.

A Call for Help. Top Story - December 2025. Content Warning.
"I want to kill myself." The tremble in the voice showed the emergency of the emotion, but was too subtle for most to notice. The man was stressed and had trouble showing his emotions in a typical way - as if there is such a concept as typical or normal.
