A Story by Kimberley

Is there anything you used to enjoy that you no longer enjoy?

My dogs. I used to love my dogs. Now they're just something else I have to take care of.

How many dogs do you have?

Three.

What kind?

Pit bulls.

Rescues?

Yes. All of them.

::pause::

Do you ever think about taking your own life?

Yes. But I won't. Because of my children. Not because my love for them is so great, but because they're humans and I do not have the right to devastate them that way. It would affect their childhood and most likely, their adulthood and future relationships. Trust me, I don't stay because of love. I don't think I have a maternal bone in my body...

Yes, you do. You wouldn't rescue dogs if you didn't.

Wow. Lots of honesty and openess. I don't think you mean a word of it though! We all have totally s****y days and kids are a challenge. I think you will be fine. You seem strong.

Vonnegut said you really only write for one person. Funny that I would write for the one person who could fix me and I wouldn't need to write anymore. more..
