Whose Fault Am I?

Whose Fault Am I?

Rants, recollections and rude awakenings that explore who’s to blame for who we are.

Something new is happening over on The Grey Area.

I’ve started a new space for the deeper stuff. Full essays, Wise Asks, Wise Cracks, and an actual conversation in the comments.

If Whose Fault Am I? has ever hit a nerve, you’ll want to be there.

About This Site

Whose Fault Am I? is an interactive playground where insightful and inciteful women (and some men) come to rethink stuff we’ve been told, explore stages we’ve skipped, and rewrite the stories we tell ourselves.

When I started this blog, I was a 32-year-old mother of four, an angry avenger of all my experiences and inexperience and doggedly determined to discover who was to blame.

Whose Fault Am I? documents this search, one rant, recollection and rude awakening at a time — some validating and many challenging my suspicions about whose fault I was.

Think of this site as part confessional, part hen party and part philosophy seminar. But, most importantly, think of it as a safe space to explore, discover and maybe even share whose fault you are.
