“It is all your fault.” “You ruin things.” “You deserve to suffer.” “You are a bad person.” I could go on. This has been the long standing internal monologue that I have had in my head since I could talk. I don’t know if guilt was ingrained in me from my strict Catholic upbringing or… Continue reading My inner voice
Hey there. I disappeared. It is what I do. Withdraw from the world. I don’t respond to texts, phone calls, or even blog to get my thoughts out. It is a strategy. A crappy one, but one I still use from time to time. I fell apart. Into tiny Justine pieces. I had court two… Continue reading Tiny Pieces

I was blindingly… Continue reading Divorce Diaries// Dealing with Worry

If this was a trial month, it was certainly full of trials. I feel like you were trying… Continue reading Good bye January
“Let your heart not be broken.” ~The Band Perry The past few days have been difficult. I wish I could say I was okay, but I fell apart after the incident. There was anger that I was not familiar with. It is still there, and it feels bad. I don’t really know a lot of… Continue reading Pioneer
Last night I almost didn’t get my little one (LO) back. The ex picked him up like he is supposed to, even though most of the time he does not pick him up or interact with him during the week. I thought that was kinda strange but the little one ran off excitedly. So okay.… Continue reading Non-physical custodial parent wouldn’t return child
