About Me

Hi, my name is Michelle. I'm a single mother to Andrew (10) and Ashelyn (6). I completed college in December of 2007 obtaining a degree in Chemical Dependency Counseling. I'm currently in a very new relationship with a wonderful man. My goal is to go back to college and earn my Bachelor's in Social Work; possibly my Master's. I would also love to get my CASAC (credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor) someday. I'm discovering a new happiness in my life and the only thing I'm waiting for is to find a job so I can continue my career. I love my field of work and enjoy every minute of it. The rest you can find on my "complete profile". Any questions, feel free to ask :-)

I'm feeling...

Grief

So, yeah, I have some misdirected anger. I guess that can happen when you're grieving...well, it can happen anytime, but I suppose that it happens more often when you're grieving. This guy barged right in and bought my Grama's house and property last week. On Friday I believe. Who does he think he is? He can't buy my Grama's house. I'm very angry at this man for buying my Grama's house and property. But, I am aware of the fact that the anger is misdirected and probably because I haven't yet gotten out of denial about her death. Well, then again, maybe I have because anger is the second stage of the grieving process. Hmmm. DABDA...Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance...although you can bounce back and forth and in between these stages at anytime. I am truly aware of the fact that I have no right to be angry at this man. And that I will only stay angry for as long as I ALLOW myself to. So, I'mma (my neww favorite word...or non-word) work on dealing with that anger in a healthy way.
