About Me

Hi! I'm Melanie. Welcome to my blog! I am a mom of two; one girl and one boy. My daughter, who is embarking on her adult life, currently lives in Colorado, as does my son. I live in Texas with my cat, Bacon.

My children's father was paranoid-schizophrenic, but undiagnosed until after his death in 2011. Prior to his death, he was abusive toward me and the kids; we divorced because of this abusiveness. He died as a result of a successful suicide attempt. Suicide and mental illness are important topics that need to be addressed, and I will do so periodically.

In this blog, I will be sharing my thoughts, views on issues, life experiences and my reactions to them, and many other subjects. Some will be funny, some serious. Sit back, read, enjoy, and hopefully, you will find some of my posts thought provoking!
