Life Through The Eyes of Stacy

It seems something is happening as I grow older, I just don't care about people that don't care about or even try to get to know me. I spent a great many years of my life trying to make people happy...My childhood was full of heartbreak as I tried to do and be what everyone else wanted of me. I didn't have a feeling of self and very little if any self esteem. It wasn't a choice I made, to be a people please, it was just the way I was. I was that girl that instead of counting my blessings for the friends I did have, would stress and fight to win the love of the people I didn't have.  I would do anything for anyone and yet expect nothing of anyone else. Why would anyone do anything for me? I was just "Stacy"...Not worth anything. Soon the way of thinking came true for me because friends I was close to for years would seem to leave me behind as they moved on. My world consisted of a need to be liked and understood.  Now as my 39th birthday approaches and I...

When asked why she thought Jodi Arias was not a "liar" after telling many lies after she killed her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander in June of 2008, Alyce Laviolette responded that if Jodi was lying she would have come up with a "better lie". WHAT????? So, let me get this straight...Abuse "expert" Alyce, who has been pretty much become the 2nd most hated person in the state of Arizona vs. Jodi Arias murder trial... believes that someone who tells a "bad" story or gives a bad reason for why they did something (like stab a man 29 times, shoot and almost behead him) --one that is found out to be false or holds no water--cannot be telling a lie because it isn't "good"? Oh, Alyce...No wonder you have become a laughing stock and have been uninvited to do your "Was Snow White A Battered Woman" talks.I don't agree with the way many people are treating and berating you, but I do understand why. As an abuse Survivor myself I am s...

While reading HLN's coverage on Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/HLN?ref=ts&fref=ts  ) and their own webpage of the case against Jodi Arias, it has become abundantly clear to me that most people think she is guilty of first degree murder. From there the conversation about what punishment she should get erupts into a more heated and in depth conversation..The question is whether a jury of Jodi's peers should give her the death penalty for her crime of killing her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander or if she should be forced to live the remainder of her life in an Arizona prison with the memories of what she did to keep to Travis to her company. Yes, the same memories she says she doesn't have.  This "attractive" (other people's opinion...not mine) 30 something year old "woman" Jodi Ann Arias has spent the years since the  June 4, 2008 murder of Travis Alexander  making up lies, changing her story of what happened that night and playing a coy,...
