Finals are here. This class has come to an end and I’m quite sad. I have learned so much from this class. I have learned what I want from myself, my husband, my children, my family. I have learned things about myself that I didn’t realize I was doing, things that I wanted to do, and things that I wanted to be done with my future family. I have learned the importance of being one with your spouse. When we get to go to Heaven, it’s going to be Ethan and me. Our kids will be with their spouses and won’t have a need for us there. I want to have that bond with my cute lover boy forever. I want it to get stronger and stronger each day and for that to happen, I have had to make some changes. Now, I’m not perfect and it hasn’t been easy. I have fallen back into what’s familiar many times and have to pull myself out to change things. I make sure that no matter what the excitement is and even if my friend would understand more, Ethan is always going to be the first to know a...

Fatherhood. One of the most important roles a man can have but sadly, overlooked. Why is that? Is it because is society we place such a large image on men being the bread makers of the world and woman the nurture? Even though, heavens for Betsy the role gets reversed. I think it’s because so often fathers are often seen as the punisher. However, fathers are so much more than that. I didn’t really grow up with a father.

When I was 8 years-old he started to abuse me, and I lost all love, hope, and trust in him. They got divorced when I was 14 years-old. When I was 16 years-old I moved in with my aunt and uncle and they stepped in for my parental figures. However, it doesn’t replace the actual loss of the actual parent. I fell into all the stereotypes that are in the world concerning a child and no f...
How many of you also come from families that are just dysfunctional? Perfect, glad I’m not the only one! A lot was discussed that was just amazing but one that truly just stuck out to me was crisis vs. stressors. CRISIS: Here below a not perfect chart that was shown in class and I’m going to describe it because this is in all families and it’s how we handle crisis’s in our lives. Alright, thanks for accepting my horrid attempt at drawing that. As I explain it I want you to refer back to it. 1. This is where all families start. 2. Here is the crisis. 3. We all get defeated during hardships and fall down. 4. We bounce back and do even better than where we started. 5. We bounce back and are just a little above where we started. 6. We bounce back to the same place that we started. 7. We don’t bounce back. I found this so e...
