Relationships are often complicated, and I don't believe any relationship can be more complex than the one between a mother and her daughter. My mother, Marie Ceasar , passed away on July 20, 2022, and I often reflect on our journey these days.  My mom was a young wife and mother, married at the age of 15 and giving birth to her first child by...

Dear Dearest,  I have raised my daughter along with her mother since the day we brought her home from the hospital. My love for her is unconditional but it has been rocky for me and her mother. During our turbulent times she has thrown in my face that I am not the father to my beautiful baby girl who is now 7. I am planning on leavin...

Dear Dearest,  I’ve had a period where I ran the streets and messed with drugs. It was due to a rough upbringing by an abusive mother. I have two sons and they were put in foster care, reported by my mother. I can’t seem to forgive her because she put them in the system when she could have taken them in herself. She says she raised her ki...

Dear Dearest,  I am a single co parent of four. I met a beautiful lady that I thought I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. She has 3 kids of her own. After two years of dating we moved in together. She does everything for me but since we added the kids it’s been a disaster. My children can not stand her and...

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...

I don’t know when it became a trend not to take photos with your lover, significant other or even wife. I look for love all the time yet will never intrude upon it. And I have noticed that it has become acceptable to not share the one you love publicly. “We are private”, is a laughable statement to me, especially when women...

When a Black Man goes missing it does something psychological to their mother, mate, spouse or kids. When a Black Man goes missing he takes that gene, that DNA, that soul pod, that lifeline away that’s only his. When a Black Man goes missing a mother wonders what else she could have done. Did she yell too much? Did she cause him to run? When a...

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...

There is a message planted in every father. If you discover it, that will be his greatest gift to you. If you miss it, he will take it to the grave, in hopes that the spirit will see you through.  A real father is the sun of every child. But the sun sometimes misses a plant or two. The sun causes drought and doesn’t ever&nb...
