When my article “Dating After Divorce in a City of Sluts” exploded all over the internet I was strangely picked up by the humor website fark.com. I have no idea who really reads fark.com but most of the comments seemed written with a 14-year-old male perspective. I did have some supporters, but the majority of comments […]
I don’t need a book or lecture to remind me that depression is a physical illness, and not something that is just made up in my head or a weakness on my part. I don’t choose to battle this demon over and over again. I know exactly what has caused this latest bout, but […]

So this is just a message to all of my regular readers. I don’t intend on trying to get this published anywhere else but on this blog. The holidays were never a gray area for me growing up. My family had its issues, as every family has problems, but Christmas was always a joyous time […]
