My live-in partner of eight years thinks he owns me

By Joyce Oglesby Q: “My live-in partner of eight years thinks he owns me. We have had a child together, and that, in essence, was the unraveling of our relationship.

My 13-Year-Old is Telling People Her Life is Terrible

By Joyce OglesbyQ: “We discovered a message on the phone of our 13-year-old daughter that was somewhat disturbing. She was sharing with someone in a chat room about how terrible her world is. It broke our hearts. We have done everything to provide a very good life for her. We inquired and she says she doesn’t know why she said what she did, that she is fine. We haven’t noticed any unusual behavior, but it was painful that she would be sharing something of this nature. Do we have cause for concern, or is this [...]

What This Makeup Fiend Loves to Wear

By Brittani Dick I’m willing to bet there aren’t many people who can claim they grew up on Squirrel Tail Hollow Road. Courtney Newby, 25, was born and raised in a small town outside of Owensboro, Kentucky, but there was always a part of her that craved the big city lights. She graduated high school in 2010, packed her bags, and moved to Louisville to attend college. She hasn’t looked back since.With that small town upbringing came some big dreams. Courtney has a passion for understanding and serving those with mental illness, so after completing [...]
