Respect.

I try to live respectfully to all...

Everyone has issues.

Everyone is different.
We all deserve respect.

There is someone in my life, that shows disrespect, often.

When a parent asks for a certain thing, others should try to respect that parent's wishes.

I have been struggling with a person respecting my parenting wishes since Samantha was born.

I appreciate help, and have often had to ask for it, due to my pain issues.

However, I'm still the mom.

I still have to deal with any consequences of change.

I've held my tongue for quite some time.

Sunday, I lost it.

I was no longer being respectful. Because they never could show respect.

I don't care who you are...

I'm still my children's mother, and Brandon is their father.

Listen. Stop lying. Respect our decisions. 

Uuuuuuugh, for lack of a better grumble.
