Start Here

Suicidal thoughts aren’t the problem.

They’re pain with nowhere to go.

When pain has nowhere to go, it turns inward.
It gets louder. Heavier. Harder to carry.
And eventually, it starts to feel like the only way out is to end it.

You don’t need to solve everything today.

I remember my first car. For my 16th birthday, my brother bought me a big ass station wagon. It was everything to me. He paid $300 cash for that car for his little sister.

I couldn’t wrap my head around how someone could just… leave like that. Especially after everything I’d been through. I wore that abandonment like a scar, always ready to point to it and say, “See? This is what he did to me.” But recently, while talking with my youngest daughter about something that hit close to home, I said something I’d never said out loud. I said, “Maybe he ran because he didn’t know what else to do. Maybe staying felt more dangerous than leaving.” And I meant it. It didn’t excuse what he did. He caused a lot of pain. But for the first time, I saw myself in that moment. And if I’m being honest? I would’ve been scared to stay with me too. I was in the darkest place of my life. Numb. Angry. Gone. I had just come back into my daughters’ lives after being away for the longest stretch I’d ever been,...
