Opportunity Cost and why i fight for Child support or at a minimum not to give him that 401k

 "Stand up for yourself and fight your bully back." 

'No one is coming to save you"

"I hate cheating, maybe because I was bullied as a child."

"A slap on the face...speaking metaphorically, I may be able to tolerate but a slap and a knock on the head?...the gloves are on!" 

But when on April 26th, 2023, a day or so after news from my attorney asking me to be ready to show up in court on Monday sent me on an emotional tailspin into a dark place. A dark enough place where I lay on my bed, wondering to myself, perhaps dying is not so scary. Perhaps it won't be so bad to sleep and just not wake up


Sunday April 30th

I just cried in front of my kids while rush driving to be on time for church due to feeling exasperated overwhl3med with single parenting, home remodeling, kids both sixk this week, washing Tamilores hair, the weight of thinking about going to court tomorrow for the child support modification case lekan filed, etc - am so embarrassed when they see me like that, don't want to worry them. Dropped them off in church. Don't think am going to go in, don't want folks asking "are u ok?" I think what I need now is a good meditation exercise not preaching/church.:

I need to focus on getting and paying for a good support system - that is my prayer point. Lord bring me a good support system aka nanny, aupair, family, whatever. Amen



 do what I do - spring into fight/solution strategizing and execution mode

The wound is the place where the light enters you

The wound is the place where the light enters you, a quote from the movie. A wrinkle in time. I go to court tomorrow for my final trial. Its been 11 years of marital hell, 3+ years of divorce hell and torture. Do I know this to be true? Does a light really shine through my wounds? According to Oprah, she says about this quote, "there is not one single difficulty you experience that will be wasted. Everything is showing up to make you who you were meant to be."

2022 - year of self care

All my life I have never been able to take naps during the day. My mind won't stop churning, head won't stop thinking. This has not been the case lately to my pleasant surprise...God be praised! Following the emotional and psychological catastrophic end to 2021, I purposely declared 2022 a year of self care. No major goals to pursue, no side hustle to keep me running. Is this why its been easier to nap during the day? Not sure,  I doubt it because even as a child/youth with no major life goals or side hustle, I could not nap during day. To what end is our endless toil? To what end my relentless life goals pursuit? This is what I have been thinking a lot about this year. I set up and run a successful business so that? ...I can make money and retire early? So that, I can feel fulfilled? So that I can feel like I lived up to my potential? If I were to unpack each of this: So that: I can make money and retire early, so that I can own my time, so that I can spend that time doing mor

A typical day with my beloved

12/14/2017 Another day in court. 2 years, 2 months, 19 days and counting and each time I am in awe at how ugly love got…how looong and drawn out the wicked high conflicts divorce process has been. All manner of grace rewarded with all manner of vindictive actions.  All manner of emotions, all manner of responses…all have come full circle. Is this the process of becoming numb? To think there was once Love…was there ever? à One wonders when love goes south. How can Love, Hope and Sacrifice yield such selfish evil in return? Only God knows. I wondered if perhaps I had sinned…perhaps it is sin that led me here because such plain evil cannot just happen in a vacuum. Experts however say sympathetic people ending up with narcissists is more common than there is awareness of. Matter of fact, it is such guilt prone thinking that makes them perfect bait to the skillful blame deflector. To the naive, unsuspecting people: walk carefully, date cautiously for the narcissist lurks around - a wol
