• Dear Reader,

  I was abandoned. I was belittled. I was mocked. I was left to fend for myself while still caring for my children. When I look back now, I wonder what made me believe that was love. Why did I beg so hard for someone like that to love me?

• Dear Reader,

  

  A church pushed me further away from God instead of closer to Him. That pain hurt deeply because when you are already broken, rejection from people who claim to represent Jesus cuts differently. And if you know me personally, you know exactly what church I’m speaking of.

• Dear Reader,

  I cry for my kids. My heart aches for them. All I ever wanted was a family — to raise my children with both parents together. But life doesn’t always turn out the way you planned.
