Theothersideofme...
Everybody has another side,
one that is hidden from family and friends.
Some of us are lucky enough to have a way to vent.
I am able to do this by writing.
I can write about being hurt as a child, marrying an abusive man,
having a teenager with bi-polar type 2, the death of a son, the death of a best friend, being cheated on and anything else good or bad in my life.
I can speak out and let other people in and sometimes they listen and I can talk a bit with a stranger that cares but doesn't judge...
all this is separate from the person I am in the public eye. Different from the "team Mom", "neighborhood Mom", "myspace Mom", "happy wife", "committee leader", "party planner", or "just the happiest person they know"...
This is where I can show THEOTHERSIDEOFME...

YOU KNOW WRITING IS A VERY GOOD THERAPY i would have gone crazy a long time ago if i couldnt write . I use to get all upset and i decided to write all my frustrations on paper then just throw them all away. Believe it or not it does help keep writing and you will get better every day. For in time you will find that person you have always wanted to be YOUESELF
