At the very beginning of the post, she reveals that her 11-year-old daughter is the biological daughter of a woman she dubs “Erica,” who is now 29 years old....
That’s what happened when one woman discovered her seamstress had copied her one-of-a-kind dress. The woman was struggling to find a wedding dress for her wedding next year, so she took it into her hands to design her dream dress herself as she has a background in designing. Then, she looked for a local seamstress to make it and expressed her excitement when she found one on “Etsy." However, her excitement turned to shock when she later saw her dress on the seamstress’s website for sale....

When I wrote a book about mental strength and how to be strong when you’re depressed, I received comments from people accusing me of stigmatizing mental illness by talking about mentally strong people. They were assuming that mentally strong people couldn’t have a mental illness, but the truth is, many individuals who have a mental illness are mentally strong. In fact, some of the strongest people I’ve ever met were those who entered my therapy office seeking help for illnesses like PTSD or depression....
It wasn’t the sad realization that my husband is readying things for our financial future should something happen to him that made me so upset. Nope, it was one little word on the bottom of a questionnaire that sent me into a sh*t fit. The form offered a short line in which to write “spouse’s occupation,” and my husband wrote: HOMEMAKER. OK, aside from the fact that it’s not 1955 and I’m sure that word doesn’t even exist anymore, I’m aggravated, hurt, and offended that this is the one word my husband chose to describe what I do every day of my life....

Everybody wants to be a good kisser. Kissing is an extremely important part of relationships and of our overall health. Kissing not only does wonders for our self-esteem, but it reduces stress and anxiety and provides for our relationships a connection that even sex can’t offer. A bad kisser can make or break the potential for love.

The ones we’d like to keep around would become great friends with no hard feelings. But the world is not ideal. Most breakups are messy because feelings are messy. Even the most mature and rational person can behave in irrational and even manipulative ways while handling overwhelming emotions. Sometimes, your ex will even test you.

However, many are so focused on physical forms of abuse that they too often miss the warning signs of emotional abuse. Because of this, they may find themselves caught in the trap of an emotionally and psychologically abusive relationship or marriage themselves. Having set the bar at physical abuse, which is where our society still keeps that bar to a large extent as well, women in these situations often feel that if they aren’t being hit, they aren’t being abused, and they, therefore, have no right to complain, let along initiate a divorce or breakup....
When it comes to how the Kardashian family parents their children, it might be surprising that all of the mothers of the family can be quite strict when it comes to parenting. Can we really blame them? There seem to be more children than adults in the family, and it doesn’t seem that they are slowing down anytime soon. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, momager Kris Jenner even commented on how fast her children are having babies....
Aries are the most sincere, honest and fun of the zodiac signs. But watch out, because they’re also beat-you-over-the-head blunt and in it as much (if not more) for the chase as they are your heart. Hugh Hefner, Steve McQueen, Gloria Swanson, Lara Flynn Boyle and Warren Beatty are all Rams, so need we say more? Don’t get it wrong, though; it’s not that they can’t commit, it’s that they won’t until they know you’re really different from the other five to seven people they’re crushing on at any given moment....
It turns out — things were far from fine. There was a lot of denial going on, a lot of saying “yes” when you meant “no,” and a lot of unexpressed anger simmering just below the surface. When that simmer reaches a boil, the bomb drops. While women initiate divorce more often than men, I find husbands are more likely to walk out (end things) unexpectedly, leaving their wives in shock, disbelief and anger at being left....
I once had an ex who was totally and completely in love with someone named Ossiana. This woman looked like me and had the same name as me, but she wasn’t me. The Ossiana he loved was a cisgendered woman who wanted to have babies, wanted to go to church every day, and was “just having a wild streak” before she settled down. She was not me — and never will — be me....
