In my feelings

Oh this is fun. Love your take on the challenge and how you filled the diary.

beautiful journaling, heartbreaking. Hugs to you.

your diary entries would be hard ones to do..... I hope it did help getting it out though. I love the purples with the blue and those doodles are the perfect touch for the art journaling part of the challenge. Thank you so much for playing along with my MOC challenge.

AliSarah, as I read your journal I hoped that it was just imaginary drama. I still hope that, but if it is the truth, I am sorry for you and I hope are now at a place where you avoid this pain. Your elements (ephermera) certainly were the perfect accent to visually represent the journaling.

I am actively loving a teenage boy who has been through more trauma than most can imagine. It's hard, and sometimes painful, work. He wants to stay here, but he's never been loved before. It feels strange and weird to him. And, he has a lot of anger because of what he went through before he came here. It's common for a youth to choose a "target" for their anger and their devotion. He has chosen me for both.

All that to say, it's not drama, it's trauma. I have hope that we will get through this, but we are IN IT right now. Very, very IN IT!

Huggles!!

Oh wow, that makes for an emotional rollercoaster.
Hope he gets the peace he needs. Parenting can be tough. Hang in there.
