Welcome to my blog, Through-A-Mother’s-Tears. I decided to start writing a blog as a way to help myself cope with this difficult journey in motherhood that I am currently on.

For those of you who do not know me, let me introduce myself! My name is Misti. I am a mother of three children ages 11, 10, and 6. I am a special education teacher for the past 12 years. I am very involved in our church and children’s ministry program. I am also someone who has my own mental health battles with depression and anxiety.

Currently, our family has been navigating the heartbreaking decision to put my oldest in inpatient therapy for mental health crisis. This is a whole new experience for me a mother and also for my children.

Writing has always been something that I have enjoyed doing and it has been a great escape for me in the past to help me just process my feelings. This blog is my way of coping and navigating through this difficult time.

If you have made it this far in the reading-thank you! If you would like to read more about my journey and experience, feel free to continue reading for my next post.
