Wandering.
Aimlessly and unconsciously, my mind is always wandering.
Ideas spring into my head, and as quickly as they appear - they're gone.
There are many things I'd like to say. The thoughts just don't translate to words.
Constant questioning about my life and its happenings have me cautious about what I share.
If I breathe too deeply or exhale too long, my ex-boyfriend seems to know about it.
My daughter has been especially unsafe of late.
I worry about her aggression toward her brother. I worry about her aggression toward me.
I pray continuously that her illness stops tearing at the core of my family.
I pray that the damage done is not irreparable - for any of us.
As much as I long to, I cannot bury my head in the sand.
As much as it calls to me, I cannot spend my days hidden in the safety of my bed.
Some days I see glimmers. Other days I see giant rays. I know things are headed in the right direction.
I have hope. I have faith.
Finding the strength to fight through, finding the courage to share - these are my struggles.
I know that together and with God, we will find our way.

Hope moves mountains. Cling onto that with all you've got. You're doing a fantastic job and dont ever doubt that for a second
OH mom sometimes it is overwhelming. Though I am not a single parent many times I feel like one since unless I am at wit's end hubby doesn't say a word. Having a bipolar child can definitely put a spin on things here as well... sending you lots of love and strength..
Hang onto that hope!
I pray it gets better sooner and you can stop holding your breath!
It sucks that you have to think of an ex-boyfriend knowing what you are up to when it's not any of his concern anymore.
I hope things for your daughter straighten out. Until then just keep doing what you are the best you can with the situation.
Keep hanging on!
Feathers to feathers, feathers to fins, we're here for you through thick and thin!
Never forget it! LOVE YOU!
