I'm 52, suffered losses, close ones. Self harmed briefly as a teenager, but never ever had suicidal thoughts. After a tough argument with my youngest, 15 year old daughter, I actually contemplated stabbing

This is probably the most difficult post I have ever written. Four out of four. As indicated in my last post, my eldest daughter has come clean with her particular mental health issues 😔. Although not

Starting post as many previous, widowed mother of four, feckin' blah blah blah.... So I'm just about accepting my youngest daughter being referred to the mental health services with anxiety issues. She's

When I opened my Steem account last year, I wasn't really sure what to expect. All I knew, is that I had stories to tell. Stories I WANTED to share, but not on the usual social media channels. Somewhere,

So, as told in my previous posts, I had a lovely wee lamb from 2 days old, who sadly passed away unexpectedly at 10 months. Also, as told in my previous posts, I am a widowed mum of four, blah, blah, blah.

It's with the heaviest of hearts that I write this post. Sadly, after a very short illness, our wee Murph has passed away in his sleep, last night. To say we are devastated, would be an understatement...

Widowed mum of four, blah blah blah blah blah, said all that before. Teenager land, seriously?? Who would want to be there? So today, after trying soooooo hard to convince my almost 15 year old daughter,

Six years on, and my head is once again filled with memories that, let's just say, aren't the happiest, but still something I wouldn't want to lose. By now, life had become pretty difficult for Gary, but

It started about October, or there abouts. Three kids living at home, and another elsewhere, plus other close family, all to buy for for Christmas, and literally NO money! Running a mostly seasonal business,

Spotted this stunning piece of ice art, straight from nature's book. Only got one shot. As soon as I tried to take it from a different angle, my crazy, goofy English pointer, jumped in it, smashing it

As mentioned before, I've been a widow for over five years now. In that time, it's fair to say that I've had more than my share of money worries. Especially trying to raise three kids at their most expensive

Standing making a pot of tea, not really concentrating on what I'm doing, although just enough to stop pouring the boiling water before it cascades over the edge of my tea pot. Eyes still half asleep,

I thought this year would be different. I'd said, at the start of 2017, that it would be, or at least that was the idea. Every year until now, I've gone to the same place, on the same day, but this year

So, as I've said before, I was widowed five years ago. Lately I've been thinking I'm in the right place to enter into a new relationship. Now, at 50 years old, and 30 years out of the dating scene, I'm

I am self employed, running an online business where I sell new and used mountain bike and general cycle parts, repairs and servicing. The majority of my business comes from my eBay shop, but I also have

Apart from having a sheep and two pointers, I also have three of my four children (teenagers), living at home. The fourth visits frequently, sometimes eating with us too. My sister in law (best friend

Thinking about family tonight, got me thinking about one of the craziest things that happened to me about ten years ago. I was adopted as a baby, and had known this from around the age of three. Basically,

I'm actually at my wit's end. Doesn't matter what I let her away with, how much money I give her, or what I say to her, the response is just awful. I understand the plight of single mums, I truly do. However,

We've probably all had that dog, or maybe even cat, who gets fed by your neighbour, so runs towards them every time they appear. Yeah, have you ever had the same reaction from a sheep though??? Proudly
