From Trauma To Triumph – One Year Later
One year ago, my youngest son was still in survival mode.Haunted by trauma. Shaped by silence. Wounds too deep for words. He didn’t trust easily. He struggled to connect. He had every reason to shut down. But he didn’t. In just one year…He’s risen. He’s excelling in advanced education classes. He’s made real friends. He’s… Continue reading From Trauma To Triumph – One Year Later
The Queen Of Control
You always hear about the abusers who raise their fists. The ones who leave bruises or scream in your face. But no one warns you about the ones who smile.

Not because the fight is over, but because they deemed me… Continue reading When Everything Feels Too Much (But You Keep Going Anyway)
To the parents of a neurodivergent child
I see you. I see you in the supermarket, eyes darting, shoulders tight, praying for a smooth trip but bracing for the stares, the whispers, the judgment.

When The Truth Finally Breaks Through
There’s a moment in every war where something cracks.A wall falls. A voice rises. And everything changes. For months — no, years — I was dismissed.I was the “vindictive mom.” The “unstable one.”The woman trying to ruin a man’s reputation, they said.

In 2018, we were the story people whispered about. Addicts. Homeless. Lost. Broken. In 2025, we became a story people tell — to offer hope. The police department that once arrested us now shares our journey with new officers as an example of what recovery looks like when two people rise together. And yet, right… Continue reading What The Legal System Misses When It Ignores a Miracle
Will Always Be My Reason
To my babies — There are days this world is heavy.There are nights I cry after you’ve fallen asleep, and mornings I have to choose — all over again — to get up and fight.
