Dear Self, Betrayal wrote me on New Years Eve and at first I had nothing to say. He called me by my old name, like my old school friends would yell down the way. They would rough me up on Saturday then by Sunday forget about it all. And to just be outside in the sunlight, removed any embarrassment of the fall. I o...

Dear Dearest,  I have a 19 year old daughter that I adore more than life itself. Her mother and I never got along; a street gutter woman with a hot temper that would keep me away from my daughter at the slightest missed payment of child support.  But my child always wanted to be with me, so at 16, she ran away and...

Dear Dearest,  I found myself in a domestically violent situation. My partner, my ride or die, my pencil (I was his sharpener), has completely loss control of his apparent drug addiction. He has hidden this from me for the two years we have been together. Before this time he never hit me let alone r...

Dear Dearest,  My man is hard working and loves his kids more than anything on the planet but he is a complete narcissist and has too many children (over 6). He makes posts on social media, which includes everything but me. He will post our house, with him and his kids, our car with him and his kids, even our dinn...

My husband is throwing a temper tantrum because I had dinner with my ex who is leaving for prison for the remainder of his life. I just wanted to apologize for any hurt he caused me and say goodbye. Boy boo, I needed that closure. Cry about it then. #ghettoqueen Dear Ghetto Queen,  Sis, what in the Ham Sam, marriage buffoonery you got going on...

Dear Dearest,  My family has always been the type to shy away from the conversation of death. But as our parents became older and the passing of our beloved mother, thoughts of insurance crossed my mind. Yet as a single father of 3 I never followed up with it. My brother and sister-in-law approached me about a pol...

Dear Dearest,  On my 42nd birthday, I realized I wanted to start dating again. My 22 year old son was on his own and as a school bus driver, I was not putting time into myself like I should. So, me and the girls got dolled up and hit the club scene. It had been almost 20 years for me. That’s where I met an in...

Dear Dearest,  My financial situation is in shambles. I have a 12 year old daughter and I was just laid off from a job in Florence, SC. She is ready to go back to school but other than that every thing is falling apart. I don’t even know how I’m going to buy food. My car was reprocessed and I am about to get evicted from my apar...

​August 5, 2019 Dear Dearest,  I am the survivor of a physically abusive relationship from my husband who I haven’t seen in 4 years. I was a coward and I exposed my children, who were 10 and 8 at the time to their father physically violating me, breaking my nose, damaging my vison among other things. I never ...

August 4, 2019 Dear Dearest,   I have been with the same individual for 3 years. We started doing business together until we realized we had great chemistry. We had to immediately “x” the business relationship because it caused too much conflict with the new way that we looked at each other. We have even been disgraceful, f...

August 3, 2019 Dear Dearest,  My son has recently graduated from High School and has decided to attend a Vocational Tech. I am very proud of him as he enters this new endeavor. I took the appropriate steps to secure his spot, such as registration and financial aid. As time drew nearer for him to attend, he began to bother me daily&nb...

Dear Dearest,  “Why are you keeping your ex-husband’s last name? Don’t you want to let go of all the baggage?” - Just Being Nosy Dear “Just Being Nosy”, “What a bold act to become free from a toxic, oppressive relationship yet wear your scars like a boss.” ~ Dearest Price I’m not ashamed of being deceived yet that is not the rea...
