‘I’m upstairs doing my hair and he comes to the bottom of the stairs and says, ‘BABE! Someone is at the door for you!’
“Of course I roll my eyes because I inconveniently had to pause curling my hair… and then I came down to this.”
‘That’s when I, of course, changed our status from ‘married’ to ‘It’s complicated.’: Wife requests $1,000 dollars for ‘wife services,’ but husband’s hilarious reply is perfect
“The money request sent to Lance for ‘wife services’ was an attempt to make him laugh. When he unexpectedly replied with his reasons for denial, it was on!”
She said, ‘NO. You’re going to go sit down and enjoy your dinner, and I will be there to sit with her!’
“I went to find our waitress to ask if she could please bring my food out in a To-go box because we were going out to sit in the car…”
‘I can do this.’ I’d get my baggies, needle, tie off my hand, and in the heroin went. ‘Just not today.’ I was using in secret. All day, every day.: Woman overcomes drug addiction, now works as nurse fighting ‘the opiate epidemic’
“I’d snort a bunch of pills before a party, drink, pass out, and wake up completely unaware of what happened. My boyfriend was suspicious, but I covered up my drug use. That was before the needle. I said I’d never use one. Needles were for junkies, and I was not that. But my dealer shot me up. It was the most amazing, intense rush of warm, pure happiness I’d ever experienced, and I’d chase that feeling for years. There are so many times I should’ve been arrested, should’ve overdosed, should’ve died, but I didn’t.”
‘I ran upstairs, and the smell of putrid decay invaded my nostrils. I coughed and covered my nose, searching for the source of that smell. There, in the corner of the closet, sat a dark blue trash can.’

“I lost my dad suddenly 3 years ago. I knew then I would name my baby after him. After all our struggles, our sweet Scottie finally arrived, of all the days, on my dad’s birthday. Talk about coming full circle! There was not a dry eye in the room. She was worth absolutely ALL the heartbreak.”
‘I have seen a lot of talk lately about how, as a mom of boys, I should be scared for the future of my sons.’
“If someone says ‘stop’ or ‘no,’ that means NOT CONSENSUAL. Son, is that clear?”
‘Being a ‘stay at home’ dad of twins is all I know. ‘How do you do it?’ That’s easy. Because I have to.’
“Please, do not say you know what it’s like having twins. You don’t. I Promise.”
‘As soon as we took our baby home, I didn’t feel right. I started having graphic thoughts – throwing or shaking him would cross my mind. I’d imagine myself smothering him with a pillow.’
“I was scared to care for him in fear of acting on one of these thoughts. But I also had a hard time letting go of him for even 10 minutes to give myself a break.”
