Let's Teach Our Children Not to Be Assholes
I was blessed with such a thoughtful son. He holds doors open for anyone older than him. Sometimes he even remembers to put his napkin in his lap. And sometimes, he remembers to use said napkin instead of current T-shirt to wipe his face.

Brandon Coming Out
“You can’t tell me how to live my life!” he screamed through his tears as he slammed his bedroom door. For the last few days, that’s how nearly every conversation with his mother had ended, with sobs and isolation. He hated it. He wanted out. But being only 15, there was nowhere else to go.

PMDD: Why Me?
At the risk of being called crazy or out of touch (I'm quite used to that, so it isn't about to stop me anymore!), I'd like to let all you lovely women out there who are suffering from PMDD in on a little secret. This message won't be for all of you; I write it for those who can receive it.

Best Leashes for Every Sized Dog
Every dog owner should have a leash when walking their dog. It's literally essential. However, if you recently got a pup and are in need of a good leash, there's a wide range of leashes out there. It's something to buy before you bring home a dog.

Understanding the Effects of Addiction on the Family
Addiction is a disease that has a profound effect on everyone that it touches. No one wakes up one day and decides that they want to become addicted to drugs or alcohol. It’s a complex combination of genetics and life experiences that will, ultimately, lead someone to become dependent on substances.

2 Girls, One Cup, and My Innocent Son
My true story of parental negligence. The First Sign of Trouble This is the very sick story of my ten-year-old son and "Two girls, one cup." If you have no idea what this is you are a very lucky person. Do yourself a favor and skip googling it, it is for your own good. It all started when I found messages from an older woman on my son’s tablet. She was attempting to get my ten-year-old son into video chat to show him her “new panties.” As a mother, I was furious and of course wanted to kill this woman. Recognizing I wasn't interested in “hard time in the joint,” I instead blocked her from my son’s social media account. It was a very innocent instant message from a girl who he had chatted with regularly and it popped up when I was using his tablet one day. I pretended I was him because I was attempting to find out who this person was. Very quickly she started talking about the new panties she bought today. That pales in comparison to where this message led me.

The Escape to Happiness Part 2
Prostitution was just like being back at school, Moira thought to herself, all the girls hung about in certain groups; they bullied one another, got into fights if a girl was in another girl's patch, jealousy...the list goes on.
