Are you afraid to ask for some time to yourself? Do you feel you have to constantly care for your family or it may appear you don't care about them? This post will help you find moments throughout your day when you can take some time for yourself. You may even work up the nerve to ask your family for a much-needed day off.
Yes, I’m an adult and I sleep with a special body pillow affectionately known as “Huggy”. When I was pregnant I had to sleep with a pillow between my legs in order to sleep comfortably. After I gave birth, I continued to use this pillow because it's so darn comfortable. For some unknown reason my then-husband (now my ex) had an issue with it. What's up with that?
It's true that our parents can only do their best. My story is not uncommon, especially for the time in which I grew up; the 1970's. People didn't realize the damaging affects of an abusive environment. I'm glad to say that since we know better now, we do better...well some of us anyway. Use my story as a tool for learning what parents should NOT do to their children.

This is my story of the moment I realized I had an addiction and what I did to start changing my life.
