Q&A

Questions!

Have you talked to your brother?

Nope. It’s been.... over three years now? Ya. Three years. Feels pretty good not having his drama. I wish he was “ Normal” but, it is what it is.

You seem much happier where you live now. No question. Just thought I’d say that I’m happy for you.

Thank you! That’s sweet. I am much happier here! In fact I feel happy about it every day! It’s exactly what I was wanting and so much more. 

I loved your posts about the stories of your life. I really had no idea about much of it and I think it’s great that you shared. It was brave to write a lot of that down in public. Did you release everything you’ve dealt with? Do you regret it now?

First, thank you. No I don’t regret it a all. I left some things out. Which is ok too. It felt like therapy and it was a relief to verbalize why I may think about or react to different subjects and circumstances the way I do. Why I do have some black and white and grey opinions. Like we all do. I wanted to stop feeling afraid that if people really heard my story that they wouldn’t “like” me. The reality is that our story makes us. Our scars or happiness are our building blocks. I have some really good personality traits that have been born from my story, at least, I view them as good. I’m proud of that. 

How is being a grandma?

First, I am the furthest thing from a “grandma” lol!!! However, the healing and wonder that comes with grandchildren is better than I could have ever imagined!!

For YEARS I was against the entire idea of being a grandmother. No. Just do not want that. I think I felt like it would somehow take away “me” my quirks my sense of humor my youth. And while it has made me feel my own mortality in a way I never have before. This whole year has! I’m not different. I’m who I am and these little humans like it that way. Pretty cool.

You’re almost an empty nester. Many people get divorced when their kids leave because they are strangers to their spouse. Do you worry about that?

I have anxiety. I’m busy worrying about things like, will I ever pee again. I can’t worry about one more thing.

I’ve been a full time parent for 35 years. Seriously, a child in my home for 35 years. I’m ready to put my time card in for the day to day parenting when the boy is fully grown. I’m good with that. 

What are you watching now?

I’m binging Homeland. I love it. 

Ok, more questions soon!!

Luv,

Me.... I wish you could see this in person! All metallic shimmery paints and it’s soooo pretty catching the light with its shimmer. Love it.
