  • This Is Such A Hard Thing To Do

    This is such a hard thing to do. To publically air my “dirty laundry”. But today I sat in a court room, waiting to hear how long the father of my 1 year old child would get for ABH. ABH, because no bones were broken (unbelievable) he used the excuse he had too much to drink, even though there were other times and he was sober. He was sentenced to 21 months in prison, but due to our legal system and reductions he’s apparently “entitled” to , on good behaviour he will be out in just 6 months and this for me just isn’t good enough.

    This isn’t a pity post, I already feel stronger than I have ever felt but I will not be silenced by this man another second of my life and I honestly couldn’t forgive myself if he ever did this to someone else (he has history and previously assaulted his ex girlfriend) . He is the most manipulative , controlling, possesive person. And in just 6 months time he could be walking the streets looking for his next target.

    This Is Such A Hard Thing To Do

    And please, If you are with someone who is controlling you, making you feel scared, trying to stop you having friends or working. I know it’s hard but LEAVE. Take the kids, leave the material stuff. So many times I wanted to go and tell someone what was going on. But I realise now there is so much help out there. Tell someone. Anyone. My two children could have ended up losing their mother.

  • ADHD, Take My Hand And Come With Me

    A.D.H.D.

    Take my hand and come with me,

    I want to teach you about ADHD.

    I need you to know, I want to explain,

    I have a very different brain.

    Sights, sounds, and thoughts collide.

    What to do first? I can’t decide.

    Please understand I’m not to blame,

    I just can’t process things the same.

    Take my hand and walk with me,

    Let me show you about ADHD.

    I try to behave, I want to be good,

    But I sometimes forget to do as I should.

    Walk with me and wear my shoes,

    You’ll see its not the way I’d choose.

    I do know what I’m supposed to do,

    But my brain is slow getting the message through.

    Take my hand and talk with me,

    I want to tell you about ADHD.

    I rarely think before I talk,

    I often run when I should walk.

    It’s hard to get my school work done,

    My thoughts are outside having fun.

    I never know just where to start,

    I think with my feelings and see with my heart.

    Take my hand and stand by me,

    I need you to know about ADHD.

    It’s hard to explain but I want you to know,

    I can’t help letting my feelings show.

    Sometimes I’m angry, jealous, or sad.

    I feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and mad.

    I can’t concentrate and I lose all my stuff.

    I try really hard but it’s never enough.

    Take my hand and learn with me,

    We need to know more about ADHD.

    I worry a lot about getting things wrong,

    Everything I do takes twice as long.

    Everyday is exhausting for me…

    Looking through the fog of ADHD.

    I’m often so misunderstood,

    I would change in a heartbeat if I could.

    Take my hand and listen to me,

    I want to share a secret about ADHD.

    I want you to know there is more to me.

    I’m not defined by it, you see.

    I’m sensitive, kind and lots of fun.

    I’m blamed for things I haven’t done.

    I’m the loyalist friend you’ll ever know,

    I just need a chance to let it show.

    Take my hand and look at me,

    Just forget about the ADHD.

    I have real feelings just like you.

    The love in my heart is just as true.

    I may have a brain that can never rest,

    But please understand I’m trying my best.

    I want you to know, I need you to see,

    I’m more than the label, I am still me!!!!
