I Married A Masked Stranger

May 3, 2017 By Kristina Hammer of The Angrivated Mom

At twenty-three years old, I was already the mother of two. Newly separated from my abusive ex-fiancee, naive about life, love, and everything in between, and scared shitless of adulthood, I was a hot mess and desperate for safety and security. That’s when I met Him. He was way out of my league, or so […]

Why Childhood Hunger Is EVERYONE’S Concern: Please Feed Our Children, Mr. President

March 28, 2017 By Kristina Hammer of The Angrivated Mom

Recently, I read an article on the website, Scary Mommy, highlighting the viral post of a teacher who maintains a food pantry in her classroom for hungry kids. Most of her students come from a low-income demographic and struggle with food insecurity. Our current POTUS administration is threatening to cut the school lunch program budget […]

Hungry For More Than This Adventureless Marriage

February 15, 2017 By Kristina Hammer of The Angrivated Mom

After a decade of marriage, birthing four mini-me’s, and turning into a SAHM, I am beyond hungry. Starving, actually. My appetite has become insatiable and my cravings unsurmountable. Yet, it isn’t food that I am in need of to satisfy these hunger pangs. Not in the least. I am hungry for passion. Intimacy. Emotional stimulation. […]

Embracing the Darkness of Depression

December 16, 2016 By Kristina Hammer of The Angrivated Mom

Little can be done to change the fact that my brain is not hardwired as it should be, but plenty can be done to cope with the effects of the disease. Medications, therapies, and self-care techniques, coupled with a toolbox full of how to’s and what not to do’s learned by trial and error, make […]

I Found Pain Relief With Medical Marijuana

October 16, 2016 By Kristina Hammer of The Angrivated Mom

Living with a disease that causes chronic pain was never part of my life plans. I couldn’t have prepared for it. Even if I had known what was in store beforehand. Pain. Limitations. Treatments. Therapies. Depression. They’re all part of the package. Finding relief while learning to navigate around my restrictions became the sole purpose […]

What People Need to Know About Borderline Personality Disorder—From the Inside Out

September 25, 2016 By Kristina Hammer of The Angrivated Mom

Having Borderline Personality Disorder and Being a Highly Sensitive Person means I am often alone. It means I am too much to handle and drive people away. It means I have extreme highs and lows. It means I am struggling every day.

I suffer from a form of mental illness called Borderline Personality Disorder. I am also deemed what is known as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), meaning my empathy and emotions are beyond my control because I feel not only my own, but everyone else’s that I come into contact with. There is a constant fear […]

My Reality-Too Young To Have Kids

September 22, 2016 By Kristina Hammer of The Angrivated Mom

There is no doubt in my mind that I had my children too young. It didn’t seem that way at the time, but I know better now. Just 21 years old when I had my first, I was naive and hopeful that everything would work itself out on its own accord. Twelve years later, I […]

Survival Guide For The Football Addict’s Wife

September 10, 2016 By Kristina Hammer of The Angrivated Mom

My husband has addiction issues, but not to drugs or alcohol like you probably thought upon reading that. His addiction can only be fed during the same six months of the year, sending him into withdrawals for the other six months. He jumps aboard the bandwagon with all the others who can’t live without the […]
