Looking for pity?
To air my dirty laundry? 
Sympathy?
For reassurance that I’m wonderful?
Hardly.
I have shared some heavy things here and frequently not things that would make someone smile or lift you up. It’s a gamble and one I thoughtfully and purposely decided to make. I want to show others they aren’t alone in this crazy journey we call life. I want to raise awareness and understanding for people and families who experience the issues that my family does on a daily basis. Sometimes it isn’t pretty. Just like sometimes in your own life. Even if we don’t share the same issues, your life isn’t always pretty. I want people to realize that, and find acceptance for that and us.
I blog for my own therapy to deal with the challenges I face. Writing my thoughts, feelings, and emotions down help me process things and put them in a healthier perspective. So it doesn’t matter if one person reads the post or 100. It also helps me solidify my feelings on an issue. I’m not looking for pity. I’m trying to remain respectful of the other people in my family while sharing our challenges.
