How We Survived
You were supposed to be my forever. We weren't supposed to split up. We had the perfect family from the outside looking in. Yes we had our ups and downs just like any relationship, but we took a vow to be there for each other and stay with each other no matter what.

Food Do(n'ts)
There is a lot of speculation on what is OK for our babies and what isn't. Everyone feels they know their baby and to an extent it is true. But more often than not we feed them things that we didn't know were really bad for them. A lot of times, despite what we think we know, we are under-educated. We go off what we know and what we have learned and what we grew up seeing. I was the same way, I have had animals all my life. Cats, Dogs, Rabbits, Snakes, Fish, Turtles, even a hermit crab. I always wanted to grow up to be a veterinarian, have a farm, and lots of land to rescue animals. My dream didn't work out that way, they hardly ever do. But I did become a Vet Assistant, and I learned that a lot of what I THOUGHT I knew wasn't even half of it and a lot of it was wrong.

My Life as a Mom
Life as a mom is very wonderful and hard at the same time. It's hard being a mom, because now you have to take care of yourself and the little ones. I never thought I would be a 24-year-old married mom of two little ones. I wasn't even supposed to have kids. My doctor told me that I couldn't have children. I was very upset and depressed. So I told my husband before we got married that I wasn't going to be able to give him children. Fast forward two weeks after our honeymoon, I was at work checking out a customer, and next thing I knew I blacked out. When I woke up, I was hooked up to an IV and my husband was sitting next to me.

How It Feels as a Daughter to Have a Toxic Mother
My mother has never ever physically harmed me in any way. But whenever I think of the treatment I've had from my mother, emotionally, the movie Mother Dearest pops into my head. Starting from when I was around 8 or 9 then gradually getting more horrible as time went by, my mother not only said things and did things that were inappropriate to me but also my 3 other sisters growing up. The most heartbreaking thing about it is, half the time there are genuine mother love moments I've received loving advice and concern; the other half has been nothing but damaging comments and selfish behavior.

Life as the Oldest Sibling
As I stated in “Lessons from my Internet Friend,” I am the oldest of two siblings. I have one sibling, a younger brother named Phillip. I would hope that my parents would’ve loved us equally throughout our lives, but as I have experienced, I really don’t think that this is the case.

Womanhood in This Society
I just want to start off by saying that I do not like to sugarcoat things or beat around the bush so if you are one of those people who might get easily offended (most Americans) than this post may not be for you. So with that said, if the above applies to you, then please avert your eyeballs. Thank you much!

Pets and Babies
Pets are strange sometimes. To many people, pets are their children. Some people dress them up. Some people carry them around with them wherever they go. Some people have endless photoshoots with their pets commemorating their lives. And some people go to extremes that I can't even bring to mind at the moment.
