This made me cry and I can truly relate to struggling with a teenage child, feeling like a failure, and waiting for Gods promises to turn things around. Thank you for speaking the truths about parenting. I think it is so important to know that we are not alone. Everyone always tells me it wont always be this way. In my heart I know this is true,…read more

Michelle, this letter to your son really touched me. I am so overwhelmed by your vulnerability and courage. The sacrifices we make for our children can be the most difficult. I too understand what it is to make the toughest decision of your life due to being in a toxic relationship. I pray that one day you will have the opportunity to meet your…read more

Michelle this is so beautifully crafted. Thank you for sharing this with others. The dichotomy of a broken bond or blessing is one that others can relate to you have been in your shoes. The lengths some parents will go for their children to keep them safe is unimaginable, yet very real. I hope one day your son is able to read this and understand…read more

Write a letter to your teenage self 1 month, 4 weeks agoDear Teenage Self
JMarieDear younger self,
I wasn’t so fond of you in your teenage years. In fact, I rather not recall the million and one traumas. It was a tough space for a long time. Years of disappointment, loss, and instability. So, if it’s alright with you I rather take a slightly different approach. As I prepared to write this letter to you, I decided I wan…read more

Awww, as a fellow Daddy’s girl I totally love this piece. My dad is so proud of me as well, and always has been. I lean on that in so many moments. It sounds like your dad and aunt are wonderful people who care about you very much. As we get older, I feel like we appreciate the unconditional love we have received through the years so much more. I…read more

Lauren!!! I love this line “I don’t know exactly where my life is headed, but I do know how I got where I am right now. And that is by personally and professionally following my heart.” It’s exactly the space I’m in where life can be so mysterious. While that can be unsettling there is hope in knowing that by following our dreams and what we l…read more

Parenting group 2 months, 1 week agoChallenges of parenting (the hidden truths)
JMarie“Mommy,” you hear the child screaming for you as they continue to bang on the door. On the other side, the tears continue falling as you pray asking God for strength. Secretly, you hope they will eventually give up, but they don’t. Their crying only gets louder than yours. “Pull it together” you tell yourself as you look in the mirror, splash wa…read more

Aww this is so powerful. I don’t have children, but I know it is not easy to be a parent. I know I wasn’t the easiest child. While there is a lot I don’t know, I do believe all healing and all happiness begins and ends with love. Love your child, and love yourself, and I think more good will follow. Thank you for sharing this very real and honest…read more
