Who would have thought? But this is the very nature of borderline personality. Today, yesterday is forgotten. I am loved again. We spent the day together and all went well. Teddy went dancing and Tarryn was “not bored, it was actually sort of fun to watch Teddy dance.” We went to Panera - her favorite […]

2 months since my last post. I thought maybe we were finally out of the woods. School was going to start on Monday and Tarryn was going to start too. Well she still is, but with much more trepidation than preciously thought.
The plan was for her to go to school for a half day and […]

I visit Tarryn at the hospital and my heart breaks. She wants so badly to come home. Now she seems fine and the temptation is there to simply wrap her in my arms and bring her home. But I know that these meds might not be what she needs. I know that there might be […]

I am writing this after taking a nap. I needed a Saturday afternoon nap because I spend the night in the emergency room holding Tarryn’s hand and comforting her while she fitfully slept. She spent the night after decided to sail off our second floor balcony.
She lay on the ground screaming for over a half […]

The weekend seemed endless. The story of what happened on Wednesday slowly dissolved in a bunch of conflicting pieces. Trying to get at what the truth is seems impossible. Is a person with borderline personality even capable of knowing what the truth is? So I have gone from unconditional support (harboring disbelief silently) to disbelief […]

There must be some positive reason for crisis. Everyday in my life there seems to be a crisis. And they are not just everyday crisis - well some of them are, but some are once in a lifetime crisis.
Monday the crisis was the decision that Tarryn would not continue at her current school. They decided […]

It’s a very nice place to set up business - only problem is - it has browsers, not buyers. The folks are friendly, the place is clean, it is totally accessibly, free parking, a wide variety of merchandise, near Eastern Market - what more could you ask for? CUSTOMERS!
We are not ready to give up […]

I am so tired of counting pennies - literally and figuratively. It’s the end of the month and I am trying to pay all the bills for November with what I expect. I am coming close - $73.23 off on essential payments and another $88 of one I’d really like to pay off.
I am also […]

Welcome to my refuge. I once thought of YA that way, but no more. It has become for me simply a place that causes me stress and anger. I have enough of that in my life - I don’t need more.
I really regret what YA - PWD has become. A few people have ruined it […]
