Long post alert 🚨

I owe no one anything. However, my name will not be drug through the mud.

As a business owner I’ve contemplated making a post over and over. I’ve typed it out, and erased it numerous times. Many of my clients have turned into family and friends over the years and follow my personal life. Today, my phone has been over filled with love, compassion, empathy, and sympathy. I truly could not feel more grateful, thankful, and loved. On the flip side my phone has also been filled with negativity, screenshots, and questions. Yes, I am going through a divorce (hence the last name change).

Why the divorce? Not your business.

BUT … Here is my truth, it hopes that maybe it will help someone in my situation.
•Some days, it has taken every fiber in my body to get out of bed. •The pain and ANGER is unreal.
•Taking showers so long the hot water turned cold, but the water falling on my face hid the tears from my kids.
•Sitting in my car fighting my fight alone, so I was never a burden upon anyone else.
•Dropping the kids off in a hurry, just so I could melt down. •The mom guilt of snapping at them, because of my anger that they didn’t cause.
•The thought of having the “share” them is gut wrenching. The thought of missing one smile will knock you to your knees.
•Moving on is scary, being told you’re damaged goods will make you want to vomit right then and there.
•knowing what is being said about you to anyone who will listen makes you sick, when you know the s**t show of the life you lived and made excuses for is being left out conveniently.
•the hives you get on your chest from pure stress of handling everything alone.
•the stress of day to day life, attempting to fill your own cup to make sure you have enough to pour for everyone else.

These are all very real emotions. It’s not easy, and I knew it wouldn’t be. I made a decision, and I was and am aware that it would and will affect three of the most beautiful children. At the end of the day, I want all three of them to always say “my mom was a strong mom. I am who I am because of her. She never gave up, even when things got tough. She did it for me”

So hear me loud and clear, this mama will clap so loud for her kids, they’ll never even notice who didn’t show up.

I will celebrate my strength, I will be proud of how I handled the past several months. The silent battles I have fought, the tears I have wiped myself, the moments I have had to humble myself. I will pat myself on the back.

And my daily art work from my sweetest girl.

My boy killed it!! So proud of everything you’ve over come these past few months. Still mamas baby 🐝

Could not be more proud of my girl!! Took the field for the first time tonight and killed it.

Bishhhhh 👌👌👌 2 rows of hand tied on this mama.
