I have two Bachelor degrees (Behavioral Science and Philosophy) and am finishing my Masters in a Doctoral program. I worked in the legal field for 20 years and defended myself in family court for 30 years. I am a Mother of two adult children and I live in the Northeast United States.
I, like you, have had my fair share of relationships (dating, marriages, divorces, engagements, long-term non-marital relationships, work, friends, acquaintances, etc.) and I have experienced the oh-so-many issues and situations that go along with them. I have dealt with abusers, narcissists, cheaters, men who over-spoiled their children and refused to make a move without their permission, men who refused to admit they were gay (but angrily stayed in a straight relationship), men with a porn addiction, men with a Napoleon Complex, drug addicts, alcoholics, men who had more dick in their personality than they had in their pants, bosses with superiority complexes, bosses who didn’t have a fraction of necessary experience for the titles they held, and men who tried to silence me for years with threats of violence, court, or taking my children from me.
You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories.

If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.
The posts you read in this Blog are not only my experiences but also of those who have given me their permission to share. This is not a man-bashing blog but a light-shining-on-bad-behavior blog. Are the majority of the bad behaviors written here about men? Yes, but definitely not all. The majority of these posts come from women who experienced life events from ill-behaved men…..again, not all.
If an article or comment hits home for you, I encourage you to find your voice as I, and many others, have! Join this community, share your experiences, your stories, ask for advice, share advice, and pull the mask from those who should have behaved better if they didn’t want to be written about!
Behind every strong woman is a story that gave her no other choice.

I hope this blog inspires you, strengthens you, let’s you know you are not alone and that you don’t have to tolerate bad behavior, breadcrumbs, kibble, anger, lies, cheating, narcissism, bullying, inadequate, unacceptable behavior. You deserve more! You deserve better!
Real names and locations of those who behaved badly will not intentionally be used by the Blog owner.
