My husband Tom and I built something beautiful together over 10 years — a cozy home on Redwood Lane, where laughter echoed through the hallways and Sunday mornings meant pancakes and crossword puzzles. My son Rick, from my first marriage, was thriving in college. And Tom’s daughter Kayla, 22, from his previous one, well……

I’ve seen my fair share of entitled people in airports, but this guy? He was in a class of his own. Let me start at the beginning. His name was Adam — mid-40s, cold suit, colder eyes, and not a single ounce of warmth in his body. The type of guy whose shoes click…

Have you ever had one of those days where the world seems hell-bent on breaking you? I was only 18, but I felt like I’d aged a decade in the last two years. Life has a way of kicking you when you’re down, and then stomping on your ribs just for good measure. I…

I’m a single dad to the most precious seven-year-old girl, and, like most single parents, this is not the way I expected my life to turn out. Emma’s mom left when she was three. One day, she just packed a bag, said she “needed space,” and walked out. I thought she’d be back, but…
