  • The Effects Of County Line Drug Dealers

    WARNING PICS AREN’T PLEASANT TO LOOK AT!!!!
    I can’t say too much but I need to warn people of the effects of these county lines drug dealers and how they behave towards you if you don’t do as they say!!! Please please keep your children safe!

    If they all of a sudden start getting new designer items or disappear for days and seem to have money, new trainers or even start to behave differently please talk to them without judging and let them know they can come to you with anything.

    Please for the people who aren’t grossed out by the pics please show them to your kids and show these people don’t care! Right now 3 of these people are on remand looking at life sentences yet they’re only kids themselves 20, 18 and 17.

    I feel for their mothers but no mother should have to be put through being told your child is in a bad way mikes away from home. I wasn’t going to put anything on here however after speaking to a friend last night she made me think that us mums need to know what’s going on out there on the streets. If you see anything dodgy trust your instincts!! I apologise for the pics again but I’m hoping they’ll save someone someday 🙏🙏🙏.

    Hold your kids close, I nearly lost mine 😢 but thank god I didn’t! He’ll be scarred for life and his left hand will never get back to normal. For my friends in my local area these boys are hunting the villages for kids to sell for them! I know we can’t watch them 24/7 but try and make them understand what’s going on around them

  • Let’s Talk About This Photo For A Second

    Let’s talk about this photo for a second.. Brace yourselves, this is going to be a long one.

    So.. Everyone gets super excited to post photos of positive pregnancy tests. It’s so exciting and everyone is so happy for you! But think about it, what happens when you’re on the opposite side of that? You think “maybe this is actually a possibility this time?” But you don’t want to get your hopes up so you talk yourself out of it, “No.. the odds are against us.

    It’s just another false alarm.” But then you wake up one morning and say screw it, you’re going to find out what’s happening. So you take a test. And lo and behold, just like the hundreds before this one, it tells you that you’re not pregnant. What now? You go on about your day like nothing happened. Your body is just rebelling against you again.

    There is no need to tell anyone or do anything because nothing has changed. Every once in a while there are the ones when you have accidentally convinced yourself that it’s really happening and you take a test and boom, one line. Those are the ones that hurt the most.

    You’ve done everything you’re supposed to do. You thought that this really honestly could truly be it. And you wind up sitting in the bathroom floor crying praying that your husband can’t hear you. Wondering what you did so wrong that you can’t have the one chance to have what you want so desperately, what your body is SUPPOSED TO be able to do. When you try to confide in someone else how you’re feeling, they give the same remarks as everyone else, “It’ll happen in your time” and “Give it to God, and He will bless you” and “God has a plan” and my personal favorite, “Have you thought about adoption??”

    Sometimes people just need to talk, they don’t want answers or advice or even people trying to level with them. They just need to let out how they are feeling in that particular moment. Sometimes they need to be a little selfish, self-preserving. Sometimes they just don’t want to hear the BS cliché auto-responses from other people. They just want someone to hug them and say that they understand where you’re coming from and it sucks and it’s hard then leave it at that.

    Holidays are a special kind of hell for people like me. They get with family and friends that they don’t see on a regular basis and then all of the questions start. All of the “when are yall going to have a baby?” “Did you know that so-and-so is pregnant?? Aren’t you so happy for them?” You have to figure out how to be a good sport about the whole thing. You have to find ways to joke about it, or even just let it go in general.

    You can’t bite of everyone’s head when they ask you about something, but then again, why can’t people just not ask about such personal stuff? Especially if you never see them? How is it any of their business? Letting go is the hardest part. Everyone has good days and bad days. You can’t expect them all to be good. There are things that are silent triggers that just happen, most of the time, without warning. And you just have to deal with it. It’s not fun. It’s not exciting. This is the other side of pregnancy. This is infertility. This is PCOS.

  • Check Your Nails, This Could Be Deadly

    I had a walk-in nail client a couple of weeks ago. She had been going to the “NAILS” type salons for years. She had a straight dark vertical stripe down her nail. She said as soon as she sat down–I need a colour dark enough to cover this stripe. The nail salons “diagnosed” her a few different ways. Some said it was a lack of calcium. Some said it was hereditary. At least one had told her it was a blood blister. 

    This is melanoma!!! I did not want to frighten her but I told her she needed to see her doctor immediately! She called me today to tell me that yes it was a very aggressive melanoma that has already spread to her lymph nodes!! Her prognosis is not good! Check Your Nails, This Could Be Deadly.

    Please pay attention to abnormalities in your nail beds!! Odd changes in your nails can very likely be nothing to worry about! But sometimes it is an indication of a very serious disease. And please keep an eye on the nail beds–toes and fingers—-of your elderly loved ones and your loved ones that aren’t physically able to notice changes in the nail beds! Early diagnosis can make all the difference in the world!!!

    Melanoma is also known as malignant melanoma, is a type of cancer that develops from the pigment-containing cells known as melanocytes. Melanomas typically occur in the skin, under nails but may someties occur in the mouth, intestines, or eye. In women they most commonly occur on the legs, while in men they are most common on the back.

    If it doubt, check it out, your GP is there for a reason, you are not wasting their time, it is better to be safe than sorry. Please Share this with your friends and family. Check Your Nails, This Could Be Deadly.

     

     

  • Domestic Violence-story-HELPLINE

    Living with domestic abuse…
    In 2001 when I was 16 I met some one who I fell instantly In love with.

    He was 6 years older than me, had a good job and was charming and good looking.
    After a few months I moved in with him (he had his own house).

    That’s when I found out he was into Cocaine.

    Over the next year I managed to get him to stop using it, which was great.
    Within a year of us being together I had several warnings from people about him, 2 were his ex partners.. telling me he was controlling abusive etc

    Did I listen? Of course not, I was a 17 year old naive girl, who was head over heals in love!
    End of 2003, he was out with friends, I stayed home, but at 10.30 I needed to nip to the shop, as I got back 10 min later he had just got home, he dragged me up the stairs calling me a whore and “he knew” where I had been.

    That was the first time he became aggressive. Of course the next day it was “sorry” “love you” blah blah
    Few months later we were both on a night out, one of my male friends from school was there, I hadn’t seen him for months and were talking about his mum and dad, well steven** didn’t like that, so when we got home, he hit me and told me to leave, I had nowhere to go, so refused, he dragged me in the garden and locked me out in my strap top and pants, my neighbour heard me, so I pretended that I had got my self locked out.
    Surely by this point I should have left? But I loved him.
    Over the next year small things happened, but then I found out I was pregnant. I was so scared. I wanted to leave but I didn’t have any one or any thing. So I stayed.
    But steven** changed. He couldn’t do enough for me, told me he loved me every day stopped drinking.. could every thing be ok? I believed it could so we decided to start fresh.
    **ethan was born in 2005. He was tiny but beautiful, and **steven was an amazing dad.

    We moved house in 2006, then it started again, the names, a slap here and there.
    In Aug 2007 we went out for his work Xmas party, his cousin was baby sitting

    At 11 I wanted to go so he got his best friend to drive me home. He got home about an hour later. I was holding ethan* as he had woken upset. The next thing I know I was being dragged to the floor kicked and punched with my baby in my arms! Thank god ho cousin was there, she called the police, and he was arrested..

    This last incident gave me the strength to leave because my baby was so very close to being hurt by him.
    I was heart broken .
    10 years on I’m happily married with 3 more children to a man that respect me, loves me and would not even raise his voice. There ARE good men out there.
    Remember, you may not feel strong now, but one day you will, there are decent men/women out there who are not abusive, who respect you, who will love you like you deserve!
