Some Rants

     Just some things that get to me...
     Why is it sooo hard for some people to be honest? I am one of the most honest people I know. I am up front about any and everything. Maybe too much so, but I just don't believe in lies or lying. Especially when the truth usually has a way of coming out eventually anyway. How can you look someone you love in the eyes, and lie straight to their face? Wouldn't it be easier to tell the truth to begin with? While it may hurt in that moment, it hurts way worse when they find out about it later.
     Why are some women so easily controlled? Why do they let men use them? Just because they believe they may be in love? If he truly loved you, he wouldn't treat you the way he does. He would reciprocate and show you daily that you mean the world to him.
     How can a mother choose a man over her children? Put them and their needs on the back burner? If it isn't good for them, then he shouldn't be in your life to begin with. Why would you let someone like that around your children? If something tells you that it is wrong or off, don't ignore that feeling. Get rid of him, before the damage is done.
      It's national fertility awareness week. It makes me so sad to think of my friends who would make excellent mothers struggling because of this. I know way too many people who have children who shouldn't. It just hurts my heart thinking of how loved these kids would be by someone else. Inattentive mothers. Mothers who just go about "raising" children, but don't truly give them the time of day. Just sit them in front of the tv, or send them to their rooms to play. Who won't sit down with them, and love on them, or read to them, or listen to their silly stories. Those moments mean the world to me. Some people are just too into their drama or daily lives to realize what they are missing, and what they will never get back. I know some women who would never take those moments for granted. Who hope and pray daily that they will get the chance, when others think of their children as burdens. It just makes my heart hurt.
      I don't understand addicts. I don't understand how you could ever try something that you know might not be good for you. To let it affect and control your life and kill everyone around you who loves you. It just makes me sad seeing how many people it hurts. I also don't understand the people who enable others and let it continue. There is only so much you can do for that person. They have to want to change or it will never happen. I know this firsthand because I was around it my whole life. I was a child of addiction, and it hurts not only that person, but everyone who loves and cares for them.  Luckily, the person I loved hit rock bottom, and finally woke up. He has been free for about 7 years now. Thankfully. It didn't come easy, but he is the person I always knew he could be.
      Sorry this blog is so random, and sorry if it offends some. But if it does offend you, then maybe you should take a look at your life, and figure out what you need to change. Be the strong person that your kids need you to be.
