So I figured it's probably safe at this point to post this. I don't think my mother still has the link (or I hope not), so I feel it's safe enough to point anyone who sees this in the direction of the new blog. I created a new blog and abandoned this one to escape my mother in every aspect of my life that I could possibly manage. I got tired of being verbally abused on every social media site I used. (I also completely deleted my old Facebook and sent her the sim card to my old cell phone and never gave her my new address when I moved.)
Anyway, that's why this blog stopped being updated. And life got ridiculously busy over the course of the last couple years. And I suck and don't write as much as I'd like. Here's the link to the new blog:
