BLUE MOON

Did you see the blue moon last night? Wasn't it beautiful!?

aaah, I looked out my window and thought "give me strength" you beautiful symbol of woman. Is there a word for women that isn't patriarchal?

I have been deeply struggling this week. It is hard being a woman sometimes.

Why is that if a couple split up many people will blame the woman? She must not have been good to the man, or she must be too hysterical for him, or she has him on a tight leash, or whatever. And then the woman is left with their children, she struggles, she gets a break from them once every 2 weeks, she worries about how they will turn out, she works hard and then comes home and does the unpaid work. While he gets to avoid the responsibility of being a full-time father. I know so many single Mums who live like this. Why do men think they don't have to put in effort - hard work to make things work. Making sacrifices, making changes - being responsible.

Right now, I need some strength. I need to be able to be a strong woman for myself and for my children. I will do everything in my power to make things work, but I can't make him want the same. Despite my continuing nausea and throbbing migraine...Thank you beautiful Moon, for giving me this strength last night.
