I think everyone at one time or another thinks, "If I only knew then what I know now." I share my life experiences in hopes a few less people have to look back and want a "do over". Through my Lady Witha Truck blog I have spent 8 years sharing my experiences while being in an abusive relationship with a man I consider to be a narcissist/psychopath and through my other blog, Reimer Reason I share lessons learned throughout the 60 years of my life. No experience is a waste as long as you learn from it and if I can save someone else making the same mistakes I made, then it makes it all worth while.
I am an expert on my life, not yours, my opinions are my own, not yours, and I enjoy open respectful communication on most topics. If I don't have an answer I will research it until I do.
I have a sweetheart of a dog named Stella, a 4 year old Pitbull, Mastiff cross. I am artistic, enjoy bringing new life to antiques, gardening, refurbishing and repurposing other people's "garbage", reading, writing and being outside in nature.
I have a 34 year old son who I am extremely proud of and a 7 yr old granddaughter I don't see near enough.
I live on welfare after a lifetime of working full time because I have heart failure. I have gone from being a home owner and landlord to being homeless and living in my car.
I continually strive to be the best me that I can be and look at life as a learning experience and an opportunity to learn about other people and myself. Never a dull moment!

visitors here who are struggling with whether to believe their ex’s apology and go back. All I can say is “RUN!!!”
Tough shit, I say, tough shit. Let those abuser/user/manipulators apologize until they die. Usually this means they have been rejected by another and they see you as a viable option again, are sussing out their options. You were never first with men liket these anyway and we will never be first. They are first and that is that. Being an option is an ugly manipulation by a lonely soul who realizes something: nobody wants him. Being sorry from a person with a pattern of apologizing and doing it all again means nothing. Not even worth the spit it took to say it. Ignore him, I say, move on, move up, up and away from such lowly malfunctioning. JMO Love to you Carrie ❤ ❤ ❤

Thank you Janice,
Unfortunately I was one of those slow learners and he was recycling his apologies before I finally got the guts to really walk away. I am sitting there watching him cry real tears and saying exactly the same thing he had said two years prior and when I mentioned it felt like deja vu he got angry and said it was my own fault he hurt me because I kept taking him back. Lol God love a duck!!
I am so done with bullshitters!!
