About Me
I am 39 years old. I lost mom recently to lung cancer. All of my brothers live in another state approximately 1, 000 miles away. My dad passed away in 1992. I am married and a mom of 3 children living in spectrum. I am into 2nd year college student. I have been trying to lose weight, but I seem not to have any motivation because it is stressful taking care of one of my three children who is autistic. As you see in my picture, on the right side, that's her, Lily. She is my precious angel and nobody can pass judgement on my child as I forbid it. With all parents' of autism support, I welcome!!! All the feedback is great so we can benefit from them! :-D
Interests
camping, swimming, reading, painting, stencil drawings, riding horses, canoeing, and want to try mountain climbing, playing with my kids, being involved with them as much as I can. (That's why I am majoring in special education in college).

Close Alcoholism
I am struggling because my best friends are gone who are my mom and my grandmother. I feel that there is nobody who could understand my pain so I drown myself into alcoholism. I guess it is a way of escaping reality. I was in rehab in 1999 before I married and had 3 children. Everything was great until I got married, it was hard to get myself and my husband to compromise. It seems that nothing is agreeable. I am just so tired of picking on him because I felt he should understand what my likes and/or dislikes are. Just having a friend to talk to and support sounds very appealing to me than people judging me only they see me as alcoholic, but not as human being. It just hurts so much.
