I’ve always been more of a let time handle people kind of woman. But what happened this past fall rattled that belief in…

My name is Claire. I’m 33, and I’ve been married to my husband, Daniel, for ten years. If you’d asked me a year ago how our marriage was doing, I probably would’ve said something corny like, “It’s not perfect, but it’s steady.” Now, I don’t even know what I would call it.

I Raised My Twin Boys Alone. Then at Sixteen, They Came Home and Said They Never Wanted to See Me Again
When I got pregnant at 17, the very first feeling that hit me wasn’t fear. It was shame. Not because of my babies. I loved them before I even knew who they would become. The shame came from realizing how quickly the world teaches a girl to make herself smaller. I learned how to take up less space in hallways and classrooms. How to angle my body to hide my belly behind cafeteria trays. How…
