God has punished me.
Married for the wrong reasons.
And now I'm pregnant.

Husband unemployed.
Trailer trash with a garden
growing only hate.

Lazy and worthless,
you reap what you sow I guess.
Let me take the place

of someone who is about to die.

Yo dear Passing shadows,

Well now you have something to look forward to Hon.

You'll love the kid.  That's where the best kids come from.

Love Bobby

This is heartbreaking writing. Need some positive thoughts and strength to walk through these phases. Stay positive.

Gosh, Dixie ~ If it doesn't rain ~ it pours! Please remember that every cloud truly does have a silver lining! Even though it may not be apparent until some time later.

Take care! ~ of yourself and your unborn baby.

maybe you should take a more positive attitude?  it's rather heartbreaking how you speak of your life and husband....and honestly, not fair to hear....JMHO

Pouring  resentment and anger onto the page is therapy. I'll read as long as you want to write.

Sometimes the world just seems harsh and ugly and it feels good to spill ink.

Good write.

Dear Dixie, I feel so sorry for you, that you are in that state of mind. Believe me

dear lady, things are never as bad as they seem, and when you hold your baby in your

arms, the love you will feel will banish the hate that envelopes you at this moment.

Life is to short to carry hate in your heart and if you can eradicate those soul

destroying feelings from within, you will be a much happier person, without fail.
Love to you dear friend. Good luck.

Lindsay
