Fondly thinking of all of you that I've missed for so long. It's been rough. I'm recovering from being homeless, but I'm finally getting my footing again and have an amazing therapist who has been helping me cope with this plaguing PTSD. I hope you are all doing well.

Thank you, Olivia. It certainly isn't always easy now, but it's definitely not nearly as devastating as homelessness. I'm sorry you also suffer PTSD from time-to-time. I hope you continue to heal with time.

PTSD treatments are getting better and better. I'm glad you've found a person who is helping you with yours. Often, folks just do basic talk therapy and that isn't always helpful.

And great work crawling out of homelessness! That's no small feat!

Rosalie has started second grade in fully remote learning mode. She's turning 8 next month and hasn't been around another kid since April. Strange times, indeed. Now Washington (and the entire west coast) is washed in orange and yellow from all the fires. It's all just so unreal.

How time does fly! You and Rosie stay safe now!
That's a scary position to be in with the fire situation.
I hope they'll get it under control soon.

Strange times for sure! The wildfires are so crazy this year. Colorado is also having a bad fire year, one of the worst ones ever. Luckily for me, none of the current fires are near where I live. The air quality, though...yikes.

Good to see you around.

Yep, it's definitely not life as we're used to. Will take some time for all of us to adjust, I think.

I'm beginning to understand how Jack felt in The Shining. Granted, these halls have blue carpets.

I mean, this hotel is pretty close to the reservation...

The bad: I've been homeless for 10 days.
The okay: I just got set up at an extended stay hotel until the end of April.

, it's secure and monitored, but not a bonafide safe house. Bug is doing okay. She's enrolled in a transient school with a really good curriculum. I don't have her during the week, sadly.

So... he's facing assault in the 4th degree, gross misdemeanor. He's enrolled in 'treatment' and anger managemet, and I'm informed he still loves me and he's been inconsolable with grief and depression.

CPS stopped at my door today. I just wanted a single day to not have to rehash the ugly.

Oh yeah, we also got over 10 inches snow and there was no school today and it's already canceled for tomorrow.

I haven't forgotten. I'm just trying to pick up up the pieces of my life again.

My husband was arrested Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning for assaulting me and strangling me on the bed our daughter was asleep in.

My whole life and world changed in 15 seconds when he made the choice to try and murder me. He wasn't successful only because I thrashed and hit his face.

My priority is my beautiful daughter and doings things as painlessly as possible. She is sometimes worried, sad, confused... but doing okay considering.

I've been in pain. Last night I was sent to the ER and assigned a forensic medical examiner. They had to take pictures inside my throat, my neck, bruising on my arms and defense bruising on my wrists and knuckle. I have soft tissue damage and bruising on my larynx. It was humiliating and stressful but it yielded a lot if real proof.

I'm okay right now. I'm safe. Bug's safe. I'm battered but my breaking heart hurts much worse.

I can't believe my daughter's five already. The level of changes in personality never ceases to amaze me. She's such a wonderful kiddo with just the right amount of sass.

I still miss Dad, but the raging grief has turned into the dull, gray sea of emotional numbness and detachment, but I'm still finding gratitude in my daily life.

I'm thinking of you all as I take this time to grieve. Also, a special thank you to those of you who have expressed condolences to me and checked up on me from time to time, especially Cinn

OMG! I am so sorry! I have been away for so long, I didn't know!

I am so sorry, I was unaware.

. My heart is with you and your daughter.

Five years old is such an amazing age. It seems like they turn from "babies" to "kids" in the blink of an eye. As for the sass...it is almost mandatory to have a heaping helping of it to make it in this life these days!

Please let me know if I can do anything at all to help you along as you heal and rediscover life with your precious little girl, however different it may now be.
