Open Breakups & Divorce

Married at 20 for fourteen years. Divorced in 2005. Marriage was over before it ever started.

Open High Blood Pressure

My dad had a stroke when he was 58. He suffers from high blood pressure.

Open Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL)

My exhusband had a child die from this disease at age 5. I experienced first hand what this did to my ex. It was a terrible experience for him.

Open Infidelity

I was reluctant to put this on my page. I am so ashamed that I cheated on my ex with his best friend. It was not worth the hurt I caused him or my stepson.

Treatments

Couples Counseling Working / Worked

We tried counseling but my ex was too bitter to allow it to work. He hated me so bad.

Open Adoption

My stepson was 18 when his girlfriend became pregnant. They both struggled with drugs so I filed for custody of the baby and kept him until the biological mom could keep him. Once she had gotten custody back, she kept him a few months then returned him saying she didnt want him. My ex and I were going through our divorce so I could not legally keep the baby since I was not the biological grandparent or mom. It was the hardest thing to let him go after the three years I had him.

Open Pulmonary Fibrosis

At age 38, my ex husband was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis. He is still doing fine seven years later. He experienced severe shortness of breath and went to the doctor and they did exrays and diagnosed him. He was in Desert Storm and we both thought exposure to the burning oil fires may have contributed.
