There isn't much to actually say about my photo to be honest. However, it's been a trying day. I feel the need to get things off my chest and actually write a reflection.
My birthday is next Wednesday. I have always hated my birthday. The main reason was my ex husband. Him and his modther would always purposely treat me badly on that day and even go as far as telling the children they would be in trouble of they wished me a happy birthday.
That being said my 3 year long custody battle is almost over. I have kept quite quiet about it and anything to do with it this entire time. Only those that were super close to me knew that this was even going on and I could count those people on one hand. The irony of this is that it could make or break me emotionally. The day of my final hearing is the day before my birthday.
I am going to walk into court Tuesday, without a lawyer, against a convicted abuser who is narcissistic, that has a lawyer. I have had full parental responsibility and time-sharing via court order for 3 years and now it's being challenged on the finalization of my 3 year temporary order.
I have emerged my self for 3 years in court books, base files, free online classes, and so forth. My head feels like it is going to explode. I am getting down to the wire on this. Trying to come up with a solution to every angle that might be thrown at me. Trying to save my children from further neglect, abandonment, and abuse.
Take the next few moments to reflect back on your life and what you are fighting for!
Thanks @ilovedietcoke for initiating this challenge and thanks @old-guy-photos for doing it so I could find it. I am not too sure this will reach your notifications but I feel due just to reach out and give you a heart felt thanks because I needed my reflection today.
Taken by me on my Galaxy S6 in ProMode on auto settings filtered in Frattal. This photo was taken at Wal-Mart in their home decor section.

I’ve never been a big fan of birthdays myself. Somewhere in middle school I just stop caring so much about them. It’s more like a reminder the clock cannot be stopped and I’ve yet again not lived up to my inspirations in life. Some people on other hand love them so much now a days they have to have the entire “birthday month!”
Narcissistic sociopaths I swear are the devil themselves hiding in a human’s body. They twist things to such a degree makes my skin crawl.
I wish you the best of luck in keeping your children safe and happy. I can only hope one day your happiness for birthdays return or you are able to put up a good front and give your children the best birthdays they have ever had in their life!
