“Your Mary Magdalene!” she screamed. “You’re trying to kill me!” We can no longer be roommates. I need a new one and with that Kathy was out the door and on her way to tell everyone that she wanted me out of the room. I could hear her in the hallway, by now a common…

Be the good girl, the good wife. Always be nice, be kind, explain, be a doormat—be a lady. Accidents happen, natural disasters happen, things happen, but this wasn’t one of those. This was all planned down to the smallest of details. Everyday part of the ongoing nightmare. Forcing myself to get up, knowing I have…

I finally had some time alone in the bathroom. It was hard to do, 15-minute checks were constant, 10 when you first arrived. I was often tired from being awake all night not use to the intrusive way strangers would come into the room and “check.” It was never the same people as at the…
