a wretch like me: Lent.
http://www.awretchlikeme.com/2013/02/lent.html
A wretch like me. Wednesday, February 13, 2013. So yeah, I've been out of it. For almost two years. My baby is born and beautiful, and she has consumed a lot of time and energy. She's actually not even a proper baby anymore, but a toddler, full of movement and life and mischief. But these days, I have a harder time loving him well. My emotions are lukewarm. His little setbacks, which are so mild compared to infidelity and raging heroin addiction, make me so angry. The kind of thing that will ...I don't k...

a wretch like me: Lent Day 2
http://www.awretchlikeme.com/2013/02/lent-day-2.html
A wretch like me. Thursday, February 14, 2013. My efforts at demonstrating affection for my husband yesterday were small, but significant. I sent him an affectionate text message from work. I got a babysitter for tomorrow evening so we can be alone. I showed him physical affection when I got home from work while he played with the baby. This morning, I also snuggled with him a bit before getting out of bed. So that's my start for today. February 24, 2013 at 8:54 PM. How is it going? A Room of Mama's Own.

a wretch like me: The Worst Time.
http://www.awretchlikeme.com/2011/05/worst-time.html
A wretch like me. Friday, May 6, 2011. Is this the worst part? Two years ago tonight, he went on his first date with the other woman. It was her birthday. Her fiance was in another country, and she'd met my husband, fancied him, and asked him to accompany her on her birthday. I found out all this because he'd left his email account open, and I'd read their correspondence. He asked her what she planned to wear. She replied that she'd wear a cream dress. Please, will you hold me? Tonight, two years later, ...

a wretch like me: My Rope.
http://www.awretchlikeme.com/2011/01/my-rope.html
A wretch like me. Monday, January 24, 2011. I came home tonight. My can opener didn't work. I nearly lost my mind. My husband started begging me to help him get back on methadone. No NO NOOOOOO. NO. I am not throwing money at the problem of fixing him anymore. I told him that if he mentioned methadone again, he'd have to leave. I am at the end of my rope with all of this. If something doesn't change soon, I'm going to explode. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Room of Mama's Own. Bedlam in Bed Stuy.

a wretch like me: About Me
http://www.awretchlikeme.com/p/about-me.html
A wretch like me. I'm a writer. It's what I do for a living, and it's what I do for fun. I'm married to a sometimes recovering addict who is sometimes slipping, sometimes just surviving, sometimes drowning. Sometimes, it feels like a brick around my neck. Sometimes, it feels like what I was born to do. I'm crazy about Jesus. We've been friends for about a little while now. I write about him a lot. That means I have to love you. I think that's a nice thing. You can email me. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A wretch like me. Tuesday, January 25, 2011. It helps to have people. It helps so much. A group of friends have been fasting and praying for us this week. People check on me all day. They call. They email. They eat with me. They do what friends do. I am not alone in this fight. Thank you, friends, for loving me so well. February 12, 2011 at 5:11 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
