Let me introduce myself...

me and my girl - my daughter and I! It's me, raising her, loving her, being with her. I could say I'm on my own, but that wouldn't be wholly true. I have a great family who is so close, we can be at each others houses in minutes. And there is a dad in the picture, but honestly he creates more stress than help. We're divorced, and the circumstances were not good. For my daughters health, I try my best in dealing with him.


This blog is to record my daily joys of being her mom, the struggles of doing it on my own, and the difficult parts in dealing with an ex-husband who was a batterer, but still my daughters dad. That can be tricky territory.


The joys of being her mom far outweigh anything I have to deal with on the outside, and I try and remind myself daily my blessings, otherwise the stress would be too much. It's not her that causes stress, she lifts my stress! It's her father, and the anger he still has, the fact that we STILL have to deal with things in the courts, and that he just can't seem to move on.


But I don't want the blog to be all about his antics - that would be a waste and not what I want my focus to be on! I hope to entertain with our daily craziness, and create something that can verbalize the love I have for my little one. And sharing a few dating stories along the way might be humorous as well. We'll see : ) Let me know what you think!

About Me

This is my story - surviving an abusive marriage, keeping my daughter safe and moving on despite continual efforts to be controlled by my ex-husband. We have a faith in God that directs all we do and have to deal with situations that many families with batterers do. I hope to show the joys you can have and ways to overcome the abuse so you can move on - and move on well!
