Mother, daughter, grandsons, living under one roof.....
Our boundaries collapse into each other like a house of cards, mother, daughter under one roof., raising two children. Mother grandmother daughter- the roles bleed into each other. Control yo-yos, resentment builds and spills over into the landscape. We scramble to reclaim and repair the sense of order.

I can imagine how rough that it. But I also imagine how loving it is to have a family that stays together to help each other through the rough times.

New Poetry by Pam Patterson

Have you ever wondered how life would have unfolded if it was possible to revisit the past and alter a moment or a conversation? Moot point.

What If?

Sam has severe ADHD along with a mood disorder. Add anxiety to the emotional mix and you have a volatile and often unstable kid.

It''s not easy being 8 and bipolar...

Behind His Eyes

Spun from a bedtime conversation with my 6-year-old grandson whose parents recently divorced. <br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He Pretends to be Spider-Man

We can change the hand we''re dealt in life..
