my life hasnt always been great. i had a great childhood. my dad was a coalminer, then drove trucks’ which i rode in til i started school. then, us kids lived with our g-parents while our parents were on rode. well, when my siblings moved out, my parents & i moved. i ended up gettin preg. @ 16 1/2. thgt my dad was gonna kill me. well, i wanted my son’ but not marraige. his parents forced it. he abused me really bad durin my preg. so i finally got hold of my sis to come get me. no one else believed he was tryin to kill my son & me. i got divorced. then, we moved here, where my sis set me up with a guy she knew, abused women’ but, nvr told me. he ran me off rodes, held a gun to my head & more. well we split up. i got in with the wrong crowd & the drinking started. he came by one nite & i ended up preg with my daug. (he’s the one who shot & killed himself last yr). he didnt claim my daug til she was 4. they nvr really got to know kchother cause his partying & women were more important. thats y he shot himself. well, i found a good man i thght. he was there for my son went thru my preg with me& treated both my babies like they were his. lil did i know’ he was cheatin on me with 14 yr olds the entire time. & yes, he was arrested for beatin my daug & me. we got bck 2gether a mo. later. i got preg with my last baby. we got married. it was great til he cheated while one of my babies was it hospital & the other home sick with the samething. well, i ended it. ive learned so mch thru all that. & its all made the kids & i stronger. if it werent for my parents, id nvr made it. i wouldnt trade my babies for the world. they hve kept me alive. im married now & i didnt know GOD still made great men. i got a great one this time. he has custody of his 2 oldest kids, cause their mom left them while they were babies. his ex use 2 abuse him & treat his kids bad. so, we hve lots in common. its bekn hard 4 our kids & ourselves to trust echother & get comfy. but’ it all worked out. he just got a great job. we are goin house huntin this wknd. we r tryin to make a fresh start. we wanna get away from his fam cause their crazy. if i could tell u what i mean by “crazy”, i would but, it makes me sick to think bout it. to be honest he’s gonna be makin great money & im scared. idk how to act. im use to livin chk to chk. its hard gettin use to hvn help. im use to doin it all myself. hope u all hve a good one
