Author Joanna Moore–Narcissistic Abuse Survivor
About joannamoore I frequently see negative comments about women, divorce, custody, child support and related topics online. These comments are usually things like “courts favor women,” “women waste all the child support on themselves,” “women cheat men out of their money,” “women use kids as pawns,” “women use false accusations,” and things like that.

I’ve been listening to the Moody Blues a lot since they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For those who aren’t familiar, they are a band that started in the 60s and became pretty psychedelic. They would often include spoken poetry between the songs. Lately, part of one of the poems, … Read more
