I’m really not over exaggerating…right?

Posted on February 20, 2015 by Making Sense from MY Perspective

Love and Respect…can we get what we want?

Posted on January 10, 2015 by Making Sense from MY Perspective

Another of those painful conversations…but it’s getting easier.

My problem is…

Posted on November 15, 2014 by Making Sense from MY Perspective

I want people to acknowledge personal responsibility. and maybe I expect this without acknowledging my own at the same time… and that’s a problem too I guess… Tonight I had a monkey wrench in my plans. I had an idea of how the … Continue reading →

It’s a setup!

Posted on October 21, 2014 by Making Sense from MY Perspective

Because it hurts…

Posted on July 26, 2014 by Making Sense from MY Perspective

I keep asking myself why I don’t want to interact with my ex.  Why I can’t bring myself to have the new age “divorced parents who are friends” type of relationship (like he thinks we should have – ‘for the kids’ … Continue reading →
