I Can’t Take Anymore!
I feel like I’m gonna have a nervous breakdown because of our daughter. I’m so tired of everything. I’m tired of being so broke. I’m tired of trying to be strong all the time. I wish my husband would try a little bit to get better. He suffers from social anxiety. So do I. I’m trying […]

No Money for Pizza!
My daughter popped into the Peer Support Centre just as I was about to head home. She wanted me to give her some money for pizza. I told her no. We started walking down the street and she started raising her voice at me. A lady overheard and told her not to yell at […]

Carrots and Cash
Today, at the Mission my friend and I were at Craft Group. No one else showed up. We decided to quit early and peel and cut up a ton of carrots for them to blanch and freeze. I don’t usually offer to do anything like that there or at the Peer Support Centre because I’m […]

“Empty Nest Syndrome” – She’s really moved out now
My daughter moved her bed and dresser out today. Her room is half empty now, but pretty messy. She said she’s going to clean it up soon, hopefully tonight sometime. We’ll have to notify ODSP and probably find another place to live. We can’t afford where we’re living right now. It’s double the rent of […]

“Celebration of Recovery” Update and more
Well, the “Celebration of Recovery” was fun. They published an excerpt of my poem “I Am The Shadow” and my Recovery Story. There were quite a few people there but I was fine. I sat with a few friends from my Peer Support Centre at table 13. Nobody else sat with us. Maybe they thought […]

A staff member from the Peer Support Centre said that maybe we should invite them for Thanksgiving Dinner. I ran it by my […]

No Money, No Water!
My daughter showed up at the Peer Support Centre today asking for money again. I told her I didn’t have any. She left kind of angry. When I got home, my husband told me that we had no water. I called the water company, no small feat considering my anxiety on the phone. They said […]

No Money for my Daughter
My daughter showed up here today wanting money, what else? She said she only wanted 10 bucks. I kept telling her that we don’t have it. That we need the last few bucks we have for bills to do us until we get paid on Tuesday. She kept raising her voice at us and then […]

Words for my Daughter
Some words to describe my relationship with my daughter at the moment: enabling, co-dependent. I need to stop giving my daughter money that we don’t have. I told her today that she has to go to the Welfare office on Monday and get that number. She can call them using the phone at the Peer […]

Counselling Now Bi-Weekly
I saw my counsellor today. I had a good appointment with her. I’ll only be seeing her every other week for the next six months, then see how things are going. Unless something comes up and I need to see her every week for a while. I’m really worried about my son. He’s 12 years […]
