Thank you. Thank you to your Mom. I heard what she said and it is very good advice. xx

I used to live in a flat that looked out over an alley on the path from the bars to the train station. I was a smoker at the time and my balcony was at the back so I was out there a lot. I saw a lot of prostitution, a lot of consensual sex but there were 5 times that I had to call the police. Only once did they get…

You know what? Every story of success helps me. Every single one and every time I hear it. If you have more connections you have more of a safety net. No matter how distant the connections are.

I do go to one NA meeting on Friday mornings. I also go to a SMART meeting on Saturdays if I don’t have my daughter. SMART is helping me a lot probably because I feel like there is no barrier between me and the programme. It is based on CBT and the meetings are good support. I guess it is the ‘outside of myself’ thing…

I’m in tw10 so not very far. I will search for those meetings. I can go two mornings a week but my weekends are more flexible. Thanks!

Thank you! I will look into the book.

I can’t even read it all the way through. I am panicking. I am yelling in my head. I’ve been sober for 48 days. This isn’t my first try but I didn’t even try until I was 38. The most I had was 11 months and 22 days. This shit is hard.

I think the first non-token woman candidate was actually Elizabeth Dole. She was a rebublican and didn’t get very far but she was a real candidate.

My 5 year old has been asking about the olden days lately. She wants to know what it would be like to live in all the different ages, what we would do, what we would wear etc... I played along for a while but this weekend we were at a cafe that had drawings of 19th century women and just flat out told her that before…

I keep getting chills whenever it sinks in a little more. I’m gonna call my mom today.

This is exactly what my first thought was. A special place in hell and definitely on my special list of people I send skin melting curses to before I go to sleep at night.

I think he was well on his way to unzipping his pants but her heros arrived. That is what I thought her statement said.

Word on the street is that Obama is already on the way to NY. It could be for another reason but I doubt it.

This is what is going to happen: Clinton wins the 30+ delegates one way or another, the super delegates that are waiting until wednesday at her request will pledge, she will declare victory, Obama and Clinton are meeting in New York where he will endorse her on stage on Wednesday night.

The only thing that gives me any pleasure about this is that this father thought his family’s life was damaged before this hit every major news outlet in the western world. Now everyone hates both him and his rapist piece-of-shit son.

I haven’t appeared in public since 2014 either.

I’m for Hillary. My sister is for Bernie. She’s in California so she keeps saying that she has to have her vote. That it can’t be decided until the whole country has voted. I tell her, Fine!

“Well their language didn’t even have “he” and “she.” People were people. And women decided when and whether to have children.”

I also slept with my daughter for the first years and had seperate bedrooms. In all fairness my ex-husband and I didn’t really prioritise sleeping in the same bed. Not the reason we split but a symptom of the process. I ended up sleep training her at 2 and half because she started kicking in her sleep.

In love? Fuck that. She deserves to be punished for preying on a child.
