Listen

I haven't written anything for a bit. My mind is trying to process a lot of things..

In my personal life I am processing the death of my cat, Taz. 

In my work life I am processing the demand on people in the new economic situation we are faced with.

In the national world life I am processing the confirmation of so many dead Aboriginal children and people uncovered in residential schools yards and areas.

I don't feel like I have anything I can add to the situations other than to listen and care.

Of course the loss of my pet is easier to deal with than the other two. Why? Because I was in control. For the other two, I am not in control I cannot control the situations. I can simply listen.

Do what you can to and listen.

Just when you're not expecting it...

I saw this on social media and I know I haven't given a life update recently it's been a while but due to court papers I cannot disclose information. I can however share this... --- "To the Parent Who Has to Hand Their Child Over to Someone They Don’t Trust It’s a special kind of hurt. Handing your child—the one you carried, nurtured, protected— over to someone you know isn’t safe. Not just emotionally unavailable. Not just “different parenting styles.” But unsafe. And the world calls it co-parenting. The court calls it fair. The law calls it a right. But it doesn’t feel right. Not when your stomach twists during every drop-off. Not when your child comes back quiet, or clingy, or scared in ways they can’t explain. Not when your heart screams “This isn’t okay”—but no one is listening. You try to hide the panic in your smile. You say, “Have fun, baby,” and you wave goodbye knowing damn well you might not sleep until they come back. Because you don’t know what’s happening beh...

The Past Can Creep In At Anytime

So in my last blog I eluded to the fact that I had dealt with some pretty strong PTSD.  I honestly didn't even see it coming.  So I have to take you back a little bit if you want to know how it all started.. I have gone through a pretty difficult separation with lawyers and judges and courts and police and evidence and documents. I don't need to get into specifics but let's just say it took 3-4 years before the truth exposed itself and I got full custody.  Now the ex I am referring to has a 'mother' that was somewhat of a handful.. She couldn't be trusted when I and the ex were together let alone after. She had a serious drug problem mixed with anger issues and a full-on "woe is me complex". The 'mother' was cut out of my life before the ex and I even split because of domestic assault issues with her. After I received full custody my ex disappeared and has not spoken to me in almost two years; however, the 'mother' felt entitled to havi...
