Chapter One: It Begins

Chapter One: It Begins

I came into this world on October 31st 1962, to a family that should never have had children.  If my mother were alive today and had a psychologist look at her, they would deem her bipolar and more. My mother was a chameleon with the ability to scream, throw, and...

Chapter Two: EMDR

April 4 – Easter

April 4 – Easter

For the first time in 21 years, I will now be spending Easter by myself. When you are told by your partner and wife of 19 years that she is moving back home to the East Coast, which is New Brunswick, and she doesn’t want you to go back with her, you are alone now. So,...

Wedding Vows

Wedding Vows

Tell me if wedding vows are still valid? Do they mean anything, or are they just words that sound nice during the wedding? To love, honour, and respect. Through sickness and health. For richer, for poorer. What does a person do when they’re told that because they’re...

Randy's Mission

This is a safe, non-judgmental space where people can share their stories, express their thoughts, and find connection with others who understand. Having faced my own challenges, I know the importance of having a place to be heard without fear of judgment. Here, you’ll find a welcoming community that listens, supports, and reminds you that you’re not alone.
