    About Me

    I've been battling with depression for the majority of my life. I grew up in an abusive household where my father was an addict and alcoholic and mom was too scared to protect us from him. I took over the family at the age of 16 being the mommy to my then 12 year old brother and 7 year old sister when mom became suicidal and then very self-absorbed.I left when I was 18 only to go from one mess to another. I've been married to a man for the last 9 and a half years who treats me like I'm worthless.I'm losing my eyesight which is hard enough to deal with let alone having to deal with him teasing and belittling me for it. I'm in the process of filing for divorce and trying to learn how to be in a 'normal' relationship but feel I'm failing miserably.I've got major trust issues and on most days feel like I'm losing my mind

    Interests

    Horror movies, writing horror and adult oriented fiction, sleep, a good cup of coffee, Fridays on Fridays, reading.
