    Picking Up the Pieces of Things Lost in the Divorce: Battlestar Galactica

    April 30, 2020 / No Comments

    One of the fallouts of the divorce was losing the things that I shared with the ex. Things that he appropriated and then tried to own them, and share them with his mistress.

One of these days I will spend some time retracing the steps of his manipulation.

    Why I’m Missing Out – Stuck on the Edge of the Dating Pool

    April 8, 2019 / No Comments

    Six years ago, in a state fourteen hundred miles away, I got divorced. I don’t know what I expected to feel many years later, but this isn’t it. I had no specific hopes that I would be all extra assertive and shit, comfortable flexing my singlehood and meeting men.

    Sometimes you just wanna forget. But it's important to remember why I got divorced and celebrate the reasons it happened in the first place.

I blog about the random ass shit going on in my life. I'm a single mom, a Navy veteran, avid reader, and coping with life post-divorce. I have two sons and five cats, so clearly, I'm a catch. I pull no punches and use salty language. Read at your own risk.
