Why is it that I cannot blog? I am simply un-savvy when it comes to the blogging app on my phone! I recently downloaded the Mobile version of this site so that I can blog whenever the mood strikes me.

I find writing about my experiences is Therapeutic and helpful to me. I don’t publish a lot of what I write. Sometimes it’s not about adoption so it isn’t pertinent to this blog. Sometimes there are too many details about the children’s abuse to share with the general public. Sometimes I write an abysmal post that doesn’t need to be published.

Unfortunately, with the mobile app, it seems to be deciding for me. I created a beautiful final draft of the post “The Mother Load” and it reverted back to a rough-draft version that was frankly hard to read. I’ve since cleaned it up but I have completely lost the polished version with a great introduction.

Not only that, it seems like I have been inadvertently moving previously published posts to the trash bin. Help! I tried to correct this, too, but darn-it if I can’t tell what’s missing!

Either way, I did manage to find two previously unpublished or missing-in-action posts from 2015 and 2017. It’s sad to look back and see all of the therapeutic parenting and all of the hope I had for Mary. In the end, she still needed residential treatment.

Anyway, enjoy the lost files and bear with me as I rectify my app-illiteracy.
