Welcome to your bridal shower with moi as the hostess. It's a beautiful morning to shake some tables and rattle poor old people from patriarchal induced delirium tremens. Menfolk and womenfolk are both invited to this norm defying and new age event as we unlearn and pick apart horizontal oppression and of course the pig …
Don’t be a Step-Parent if You’re not Ready.
If anything that grates my tits, it is this chat. I have read a gazillion stories on social media groups, children abused by step parents. Outrage mongers, this is directed to disfunctional blended families, please don't come here with, "I know plenty of good step parents that get along with their step children." Not today …

My Trip to Turkey
The all great app of reminders inspired this blog. Facebook let me know that last year around this time I was strolling the streets of Istanbul and enjoying the sights. It all began with my mum, she called my little sister and felt it was time to visit our little brother in Turkey. She enjoyed …
A Generation In Need of Therapy
I was having my morning tea and it hit me. We have been living in this covid-19 pandemic for over a year and it truly has been a shit show. When the coronavirus broke out in Wuhan, China we were in the comforts of our borders and oceans away from what was about to trigger …

My Epic Walk of Shame
Well this is embarrassing but 2021 is the year I have been caught crawling back to WordPress.com after going solo in 2019. I left the nest and became miss independent at makaitahrogue.com.

Related but not Family
I have been thinking about this a lot. Family falls in a socio-bracket of people who contribute to your mental, physical and emotional wellness. Does this mean that everyone who is related to you is really family? I don’t think so; relatives are a kindred people of genealogy that you are born in to.Friends can …
Dawn
The past two months I pondered over turning this blog in to a monumental site. Impractical seeing the sequence of events demanded to be documented. Somewhere in the unknown a portal cracked open and something dark slipped out. A malignant spirit with an insatiable appetite for death. Let’s begin with a global pandemic that wiped …
