What makes someone stop blogging?

I recently looked at my comments, clicked on their blog and then started clicking on the blogs she followed. All these blogs last posts were in 2011 or before. I started to skim and realized this was when people would blog for the fun of it. It seems every blog now is a source of income, it's a business now. Kind of sad to me, even though I don't really read blogs anymore.... somewhere along the way I lost my way. I stopped writing so I stopped reading or maybe I stopped writing because I stopped reading. I don't know. It's hard to know. And I wonder how other bloggers last post became their last post... Did their life get busy, did they lose their passion, did they start a new blog with a different direction? I'd love to know... Did you blog back in the day? Do you still blog, if not, why? I will say I am disappointed in myself, maybe if I kept with it full time blogging could be a business for me. Who knows. As I sit here writing this I am realizing man I love the sound of the keyboard. My ADHD has gotten worse so it's harder for me to get my thoughts from my brain to my fingers. I am going to try. I still have that dream of writing a book. The parenting book that talks about all things parenting books don't talk about. Like your last baby going to his senior prom... Prom_-17

Why did you stay so long?

I get asked this question often, usually by people that have only known me a short time. The answer is simple yet complicated. I stayed for my kids, it's that simple. But is it? I didn't seek divorce because I was afraid. I was afraid that I couldn't do it. I had been a stay at home mom for 18 years, 18 fucking years. That's a long time to put everyone in your life before you. It's a long time where you could have been doing something else, but those kids of mine, they were my number one. I have no regrets staying home and doing everything. Everything from carpool to dinner, to all the cleaning and laundry. Day in and day out I put my needs and wants on the back burner. I made sure everyone had lunches made, dinner every night, clean clothes to wear. It all landed on me and I loved it. I loved it so much I looked the other way, I made excuses. I didn't notice his drinking problem until me moved to Modesto but again, I made excuses for him. Then shortly after t

Divorce still sucks....

I started writing this on April 16TH 2019 Yesterday my divorce was final. I didn't expect to walk out of that court divorced, nobody expected it. Somehow we agreed, we both compromised, and walked out two single people instead of a married couple. 23 years and 23 days we were a married couple, and after a forty five minute meeting we were no longer Mr. & Mrs. The emotions I felt I can't explain, I was so overwhelmed. I thought I'd feel something more than I did. I thought I would cry to be honest. All I could do is smile as I called and texted those who I knew would want to hear the news before it hit social media. Today I feel drained, still relieved but drained. I really can't believe I'm divorced, me, divorced.....It's an overwhelming sense of freedom yet am scared as fuck to what my future will bring. My whole adult life I was tied to one person, I was married longer than I wasn't at this point in my life. So now what? Am I supposed to feel differe
