What a ride this life has turned out to be.

I suppose I wanted what everyone wants- to love and be loved. Up till now though, life and love have been quite the roller coaster. My Mom, being abused as a kid, developed a personality disorder. Maybe she was Borderline or Narcissistic or Histrionic. You pick. She was mentally and emotionally abusive to me. Then, just so I would never lack for reasons to go to therapy, she joined a strict religious cult when I was two. I left the cult when I was 28 and, per the cult's instructions, my family and all my friends completely abounded and rejected me. So, that was fun. As you might imagine, I was very vulnerable at that point. I met a charming, smart, successful man whom I married and stay married to for 20 years. He turned out to be a narcissistic psychopath with a fondness for bashing my head into things. Good times. The truly wonderful news is that I'm free now. Free to live and love and just be. I share on this blog what it took to get to that place. I write about my thoughts, feelings, and occasionally a few wacky ideas. I sincerely hope some of it appeals to, helps, or at least entertains you. ;-) Shine it on!
