About Me
I knew that something was wrong with me when I was a little girl. I just saw things differently than my family. I would get yelled at for everything and being raised Catholic, well physical abuse was a secret, and BOY did we have them. I refuse to let anything or ANYONE bring me down, I control things, not the other way around. I am a very strong woman, been to hell and back and let me tell ya, it isn't pretty there.....
Interests
Love butterflies, the birds, MUSIC, people who are kind, plants, good conversations, and ME. Love my kids, my new life now and ME. Love nature, cooking and using my imagination and bring out the best in people and making them SMILE.

Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
Married a man who was abusive in every sense of the way and was attracted to that becasue that's what I learned as a child...I didn't know any better and thought the love meant getting smacked and beaten and lied to.
Open Down Syndrome
My son, Christopher was born with DS and it was a real shock. It was the best nine months I ever felt physically and then the doctors said that he had DS and did I want him?
Open Depression
Been depressed since I was a little girl, sexually abused didn't help. Tried to commit suicide two times, becasue a man wouldn't love me...and now am divoirced with two kids and trying to do it alone.
