I see the comment so often when it comes to addiction.  “Where were the parents?”.  That REALLY infuriates me.  It adds to the stigma that is already present and a big reason why so many families keep the struggle to themselves.  We feel judged, people cast downward glances,  unsure of what to say. Where was […] The post Addiction-Where were the parents?! appeared first on Katie Donovan ..read more

Montana Rose. Beautiful, mysterious, brilliant and dreamy. The name itself is different. It starts off eclectic and strange and ends romantic and soft. Geographically, Montana is a place far away from our moderate suburb of Philadelphia. The best way to describe Montana Rose was that she was easy to fall in love with. I fell […] The post The Safe Space Between Us, by Allison appeared first on Katie Donovan ..read more
