The Infinite Benefits of Including Students With Disabilities
I was in my daughter’s middle school for a meeting with some of her teachers. As I was walking down a hallway with a few of them they stated, “Look, there is Yassy! She is cycling away. We hear she loves to go in that room and ride the bike for the whole gym class. She is in great shape.”  I looked in the room and there weren’t many other kids in there. It was new, with a glass wall, so I saw her and took this photo. It is blurry because I was trying to be quick, so as not to distract her.

How Abusers Use Gaslighting to ‘Flip the Script’
Have you ever experienced “crazy-making,” AKA gaslighting? It’s when an abuser flips things around to make you seem like the problem. They do and say things to make it seem like they are the victims of your abuse. I prefer the term “crazy-making” because that’s exactly what it feels like. They make you doubt yourself and get others to doubt you as well. I have experienced this pretty much my whole life.

We Need to Stop Normalizing Family Alcoholism
I grew up in a family who completely normalized regular alcohol consumption like it was no big deal. Family gatherings often included more coolers and kegs of beer than food or other types of beverages, and pretty much everyone over the age of 18 would have a beer or glass of wine in their hand the entire night. The running joke was that because of Irish and German heritage, this is what we do.
