Abandoning Our Father: The Starr Sisters
As told by the Starr Sisters. Our Father says we abandoned him, well I’m pretty sure it’s the other way around.

Since I’ve started this blog, I’ve used it to cope with daily life struggles. I’ve also used it to reach others who may be going through similar situations.

Why Does She Stay? Toxic Relationships…
My experience… In the past, I have been in some pretty unhealthy relationships, this includes romantic partners & friends. I allowed certain people to enter my space and bring along their negative energy. Now that I am out of those relationships, I finally realize how unhealthy they were. I’ve heard people make comments all the time about why women and men stay in toxic relationships. Sometimes outsiders always think they have the perfect answers or solutions to your problems, but they don’t. I’ve shared a little about my toxic relationships in the past and how I was able to move on. Why does she/he stay? The age-old question is always, why…

How to Survive Being the Wife of a Coach
What it’s like? Being the soon-to-be wife of a basketball coach has been interesting, to say the least. I never thought it would be as hard as it has been. When Rob & I first started dating, we were in a long distance relationship. With us being in a long distance relationship, I didn’t realize just how hard things were going to be. I didn’t think that there would be countless days I would eat dinner alone, wake up to an empty apartment or run errands by myself. I definitely didn’t think I would dread being asked: “what are you and your fiancé doing this weekend?” so much. Some days I’m angry,…

I Caught My Boss With His Mistress (Part Three)
Disclaimer: This is part three, I advise catching up with part one and two first. Time to go. On top of the drama with Carlos and his wife, I truly just disliked my job. I let Carlos know how unhappy I was and that I was going to look for another job. He would always make promises about things changing, he offered me a raise that was laughable. I stayed for a little while longer but things continued to spiral out of control. On one occasion I was not paid and I decided to go on strike (LOL). I refused to go to work until the situation was…

I Caught My Boss With His Mistress (Part Two)
Disclaimer: This is Part Two, I advise reading Part One first. Lisa. I left off with how I met Lisa and finding out that she was Carlos’ mistress. Things at work continued to get worse and even more complicated. I felt like I was in the middle, being a woman who has been cheated on, I felt guilty helping a man lie to his wife. There were so many times I wanted to just blurt out the truth, but I knew that it absolutely wasn’t my place. It made it even more difficult when I would see his wife at school functions or during school dismissal. She looked…

One day, I was taking my little cousin to school and a man pulled up next to us to tell me that my son and his son went to the same school. He assumed my cousin was my son, we will name this man Carlos. He said his son pointed us out to him because of my little cousin’s backpack, the school had given out free backpacks to all of the students. He asked if we…
