Introvert Mom
Let's be honest; if you've stumbled across this article you must be in the same or similar position with your kid. I'm an army wife and mother to a handsome 2-year-old brown boy. My husband and I both have Master's degrees, work decent jobs and are enjoying watching our little one grow. The issue is, mommy is an introvert... kiddo is an extrovert.

Dad?
Did he really love my mom? Is abuse love? The only memories I have of living with both my parents is arguing and fighting. It was very traumatizing until this day every time someone argues in front of me I think they’re gonna start a fight. I love my dad don’t get me wrong, but he isn’t exactly the father I wish I had. I can never watch a movie about a good dad because I wonder how my life would of been with one. I also hate watching movies with bad dads because it’s relatable and it hurts. My mom and dad were young parents; my mom loved to travel and my dad was just never around, so my grandparents help raise my sister and I. My grandpa passed away when I was in seventh grade he was my dad. He did everything a dad should do, take me to school, make me breakfast, and spoil me. He spoiled me with anything I wanted and most important love. He was such an amazing person the nicest person I’ve ever met. He was an alcoholic, it killed him, maybe that’s why I won’t drink and hate drinking. I miss him so much.

The RIGHT Way to Care for Betta Fish
Ah, the betta fish; the fish that everyone seems to have but no one seems to be able to take care of properly. Known as “hardy” and “easy to take care of,” they are quickly becoming the more popular choice of an easy fish now that most people are aware that goldfish should not last two weeks but rather 25 years.

My Best Friend Was Raped
It was July of 2016. We were laying in a small canvas tent with our matching pillowcases we had tie-dyed and braided hair. She was snoring softly, I always made fun of her for that. The top of our tent was plastic so I was able to watch the stars. I always had trouble falling asleep, but I enjoyed listening to the mountain sounds. I turned towards her and watched her sleep for a moment. She went still, her snoring stopped. I thought maybe she was waking up. Instead, she let out the shrillest scream I have ever heard.

Survival
Brittle, hollow, not exactly broken, but very near it. That is how I felt after everything. Everything that I was, the strength that I had built over the last few years, and the courage that I had come to expect of myself, was carved away by this process. The process of naming my attacker, facing my attacker, and listening as his lawyer took apart my character piece by piece in open court. I feel brittle. Like pieces of me might break off at the slightest touch.

How I Made Myself Feel Better About My Body
I never thought that I would get this far. I had no future plans. I really thought that by the age of 16 I would kill myself. Here I am today now 21. I still struggle with things but I'm not as bad as I use to be. For the record the picture featured is not mine. I don't own it.

Divorce
My marriage of seven years ended this past October. We were supposed to be forever. I thought we were happy. We had a beautiful family together. I didn't realize it was all a lie. Turned out he had multiple relationships throughout ours, starting while we were dating. One of his many girlfriends was his brother's girlfriend. Who does that to family? I realized we were done when he took a trip to see his current girlfriend on Mother's Day. While he was gone I did some digging. That's when I found all the messages from one of the girls. I immediately found a lawyer.
