Hello,
As a lot of people do, I have a hard time describing myself. I usually just go with the description of being, "Fabulous", but in reality my life has been anything but. I am a dynamic individual, a survivor of many things. I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a victim and a victor.
I experienced abuse of many forms as a child. I survived violent rape as a teenager. I lived with the shame of not being able to tell anyone what had been done to me. I survived a violent marriage. At the hands of my ex-husband I suffered among other things; A broken neck and near paralysis. I made it through spinal surgery with just some nerve damage. I say that as if it is minimal, but I say it that way, because compared to death it is a small thing to have to deal with. I live with chronic back and neck pain and frankly, it hurts to be alive most days. But, as I said, alive is good!
I have three living children, one of which is Autistic and is a new experience everyday. I buried a son in 1991, after taking him off of life support and holding him in my arms as he died.
So, I have had a pretty full life up to this point. Am looking forward to a little less excitement from this day forward, so we'll see.
I hope you enjoy my writing and I look forward to, "Blogging" with all of you!
