When the Justice System Becomes the Weapon
I don’t think people understand how broken the justice system is until they’re forced to live inside it. I’ve been in court with my ex for over two years. Not because we’re divorcing — we’ve been divorced since 2022.Not because our children are minors — they are 22 and 19 (almost 20). And yet, here we are. I am being accused of parental alienation, of not getting bills switched into my name within 30 days, and of being ordered to repay a $20,000 lump sum I was awarded in the divorce. Parental alienation of adult children. That alone should have stopped this at the door. Instead, the court has allowed…

She Was Slowly Erased
I look at old photos—and I don’t see what I used to see. I don’t pick apart my weight or my smile or my hair.I don’t zoom in and cringe at my hips or the way my clothes fit.Instead, I feel this ache deep in my chest for the girl in them.

My son is out of town in my car, so I was driving his car—one my ex-husband and his new wife wouldn’t recognize unless they were actively watching. And they were. As I pulled to the light at the end of my road, I noticed their car behind me. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw her—his wife—holding up her phone, snapping photos of the vehicle I was in. Documenting. At first, I told myself maybe it was nothing. Maybe I was overreacting. But when I turned onto the…

Backhanded Gifts and Silent Insults: When “Kindness” Comes With a Knife
It never ends quietly. Not when you’re dealing with someone who craves control more than connection. Today, my kids got packages from their father — gifts delivered straight from Amazon, carefully chosen with just enough sweetness to pass as thoughtful… but soaked in judgment and surveillance. One got a phone holder to help record guitar videos. That’s nice, right? Except it came with not one, but two containers of acne medication. Unsolicited. Unasked for. Unnecessary. This child had already had the courage to face their insecurities and see a dermatologist a month ago. They’re on a treatment plan. But of course, their father didn’t ask. He just sent a silent…
