    Margaret Parks

    I am a mother of a teenager and an two adults. I am a single mother. I am a veteran of the Army National Guards. I am also disabled. I have struggles with financial matter like most people. I am one of the many people that suffers from bi-polar. I battle each and everyday to not fall into yet another depression. During my last major depression I came close to ending my life. One night a friend, that I haven't seen in 19 years, came over to my residence. The subject of my writings came up in conversation. I told him I would write if only I could find something to write about. He then said, "To just start doing it and watch it unfold however it will." I soon started writing and slowly came out of my deep depression. Since writing my thoughts into poetry and stories helped me through a very hard emotional time, I decided to set a goal of publishing my works. Along the way I talked to someone about how I enjoyed writing and he suggested publishing an Ebook. I figured it couldn't hurt.

      — “I love to cry — as long as it’s not about my life.” It was a simple statement, a line I’ve said a thousand times before. But when your dad is a shrink — like mine — you never know where a conversation might take you.  A few months ago I was visiti
