divorced
Sometimes a good divorce is better than a bad marriage.
Hi Mom...
it's me, your child. Sometimes it's hard for me to show you how much I love you. I have a hard time understanding things you're asking of me, but the more I think about it, the more your actions made sense . I know you're only trying to help me because you want me to have a better future. You forgave me for a lot when I was younger. I remember getting into some situations where you would grounding me, but your love always won in the end. Now I realize that you were only trying to protect me back then.

My Young Daughter Set a Boundary and I Respected It
My daughter and I have always been tight. Best friends, each other’s biggest supporters and fans. We’ve had a wonderful relationship. I’ve almost never let her down in the 17 years that we’ve been together. However, I’ll never forget the day she taught me a lesson in parenting.

A good couple always play dumb with each other.
"Don't conquer each other" is the most important question for couples! Conquest is something that often happens between husband and wife, talking about who is right and who is wrong! Discuss who hurt whom and who went too far! These are all taboos.

The New American Dream For Women
There was a time when just about every little girl in America dreamed of her wedding day. She thought of a special day in the future, where she’d dress like a princess, invite all of her friends and family, and marry her Prince Charming. Then they would buy a house, have three or four children, and live happily ever after.

Meet Your New Stepfather
The grown woman stood in the hallway of the hospital. She had just called her boss and said she would not be back today, and she had called her husband to tell him what was going on, he was leaving work and coming straight to the hospital. She had called her kids to let the two oldest ones that were doing high school classes online know her and their daddy would be late so they would have to look after their younger brothers when they got off the school bus. Last she had called her little brother and told him to come as soon as he could. He was on his way with his girlfriend, with traffic this time of day no one would be here for hours. After all that she just needed to take a breath before she went back in the room, it was going to be a really long day.

Father Value
Family structures can be connected to the idea of a family tree. The structure is based upon who had breed together to create the family that exists as a whole and tends to continue to grow. Family structures can also be defined by the roles or power each individual has in the lineage. Normally the Grandmother and her husband hold the highest power that gets passed down to their children, eldest to youngest, and they pass it down to their children. I’ve learned hierarchy proves nothing other than age being increased, in my opinion of the black families. Much like other populations, we tend to suffer from single-parent households and poverty. I plan to discuss the findings of Patricia Thomas of Duke University on the effects of father presence in black homes.

The Infamous Nap
The grown up woman sat at her birth mother's dining room table with her birth mother and her mother's neighbor. She had not come here to see her mother. She came to see her little brother and her step father. Seeing her mother was the price she paid to see them. They were out in the back yard playing with her two small children and her husband was loading up the van so they could head for home.

Closers
For Joey: a ghost—as always. I A I am in Sendera, finishing up Dad's estate. I haven't been here in 25 years but I'm out of court before noon and I'm hungry. I drift down Main Street and god damn if I don't find Closers. Or what used to be Closers. Now it's called Downtown Texican Bar and Grill. It looks run down. I consider passing it but I’m not seeing much in the way of alternatives.
