Peer Support for Divorced Moms and Teen Girls
Divorce can feel like a quiet kind of loneliness, especially for mothers and their teenage daughters, both trying to cope with losses that change everything. For mothers, the marriage’s end can mean sudden solitude, bills that don’t add up, and the nagging belief that they didn’t hold it together. Daughters usually face a more internal storm: disappointment, sudden anger, and the painful sense that someone stepped out of the picture. While the feelings come from the same breakup, they land on different parts of daily life and can feel equally heavy. Finding circles of other moms and other teen girls lets both generations hear their own experience echoed back, so they know they aren’t the only ones carrying it.

“The Letter I Never Sent My Father”
Dear Dad, It’s been five years since you left this world. The silence you left behind still speaks louder than anything you ever said. I’ve written you dozens of letters in my head, but I never sent a single one. I’m writing this now, not because I think you can read it, but because I need to. For me. For the parts of me that still carry your shadow.

The Last Text I Never Sent
We met in the most unexpected way—on a delayed train. He sat beside me with a backpack covered in band patches and a crooked smile. He asked if I liked The Smiths. I said I didn’t know who that was. He laughed and said he’d make me a playlist.

Gaslighting Took Me
It didn’t happen all at once. There wasn’t a loud explosion, a screaming match, or a dramatic exit. No, the unraveling of who I was happened quietly, like a thread pulled from the hem of my identity. I didn’t see it then, but now I know the name for it—gaslighting. And it took me. Slowly, surely, and almost completely.

The Letter She Never Sent
The rain tapped gently on the windows of the old bookstore, as if nature itself tiptoed around a secret waiting to be uncovered. Hidden in a narrow alleyway in Lahore, Chughtai’s Books & Tales was a forgotten place — dust-laden shelves, the scent of old paper, and stories waiting in silence.

More than gold
More Than Gold” Liam Bennett lived in the part of town most people didn’t talk about. His family’s small, weather-beaten house stood behind a worn-out mechanic shop that his father owned and ran. Grease-stained clothes, secondhand books, and late nights fixing engines were normal for Liam. He didn’t complain. He was used to making do. Still, somewhere deep inside, he held onto dreams bigger than his surroundings.

I Wish To Be
used to think that love was about something I earned. I thought it was about collecting reason by reason. It feels like I will get a lot of love as a prize for having good behavior. It really seems like a reward for being the shiniest version of myself.
