At 15, my older sister and I witnessed a physical fight between my dad and his second wife after he discovered that she had hidden his bottle of whiskey again. 
This wasn’t the first time she had done this, but the anger that came from him that night was different. Though a family member who happened to be there at the time pulled us out of the house before we could see more, the damage had already been done.

I think I always expected that one day I would receive that call – the call to let me know he had died. It was always there, hovering in the back of my mind. Because of the way he lived his life and the choices he made, it was inevitable. I naively assumed I would feel instant relief and that would be the end of it. I didn’t expect the complete opposite to happen. I felt lost, unsure of how to react and two years on, I still get that feeling. There’s no handbook on what to do when your estranged...

I am 1 in 4. 
In May, I had a miscarriage. I started bleeding over the holiday weekend. I made two phone calls to be told both times unless I was hemorrhaging or in severe pain, I would have to wait for EPU to call me on Monday. My bleeding got heavier.
