The God / The Universe / Deity of Choice / Random Circumstances struck oddly, so I thought I’d post and talk about this for a moment. See, I was getting ready to write this week’s article for Advanced Mobile Healthcare, and I look at the list of topics we came up with last year (I …
Introduction This in one in what’s probably going to be a small series of posts looking back at old relationships. I’ve been married twice, and have had a number of long term relationships, and then there’s the various short term relationships (which I have very little interest in, and haven’t had much affect on my …

Introduction One of the best things about a good partner: they’ll always build you up. They’ll help you traverse rivers, climb mountains, explore the depths, hold your hand when you’re sick, and know your deepest fears. Unfortunately, the wrong partner can ignore the first part, and use the last bit there against you. If you …
Introduction I am a communication person. I wasn’t always that way, but I’ve always been a talker. These days, I’m good with a sit-down conversation in a relationship to see where each one is at. To talk about things of substance, and even talk about feelings, rather than just “stuff”. That’s communication. Screaming, on the …

Introduction We fall in love with our partner because of so many things. Their attitude, their caring, their integrity, the way they make us feel. The list is too long to put here. But, what about those things we’re not a fan of? Or that our partner isn’t a fan of in us? If you haven’t …
Introduction I mention in the introduction section of pretty much every post that he and she is replaceable in these posts. There’s a part of abuse that I haven’t experienced, and it’s unlikely I would experience: physical abuse, and the fear of being injured, or worse. It’s also the part where “he” and “she” aren’t …

Introduction In some ways, these topics are already covered as part of the larger story arc – but, let’s stop and take a closer look at the for a moment. If you haven’t already, be sure to head over and read part 1 of this series of posts (this is part 10), in particular the Introduction …
Introduction It’s not that everything changed overnight for me. The things that happened, they didn’t all happen in one day, and the effects were slow and gradual, until suddenly they weren’t. If you haven’t already, be sure to head over and read part 1 of this series of posts (this is part 10), in particular the …
Introduction So, how does one go to war with one’s self, and one’s past, and the things done to them? Damned good question, and I had to find – or, I suppose, create – an answer that fit me. If you haven’t already, be sure to head over and read part 1 of this series …
