About Me
II am a divorced mother of 2. I have a very active lifestyle, focused in community support. I desire to make the world a better place through service. Currently, I am looking at getting re-married, and this scares me very much, yet excites me. I am yet another roller coaster.
Interests
I love the beach in the evening, hot baths and a good book, friends, family, and love. When there was time I liked to garden, sew, and bake. My dreams are to succeed and getting my PHD, see more of the world, and prove to myself I can make a good life for myself and my family despite the current situation I am under. In the end, I am a DOER... and maybe if I work hard enough and make smart moves, I will be able to make all my dreams come true. I don't want to let depression in, although it keeps knocking on my door.

Support Groups
Close Breakups & Divorce
I am recently divorced in August of 2006. Many of our issues included lack of sex on his part (amazing a woman wants it!), raising children one of which has fine, gross, speech, adhd, and asperger's issues. I am learning to walk a life without him after 20 years (and I am only 35!). I don't want to perceive all men after his fashionable exit, but I also can't fully trust myself or a man it seems. I thought I knew him ...
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- It helped me see that I was beating my head down on something that was not going to change.
- Family Therapy Working / Worked
- It helps, but often when I need it most- I cant get to help because I need an appointment.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- It helps to vent. I know my family is there. But, in the end, they cant change the situation so I have to learn to get stronger- suck it up- and well- prove I can do it
Close Financial Challenges
divorce kills the best of em.. especially when you take on all the debt and mortgage the house to the hilt to give the failr equity to the spouse... and I left him his savings for him.......... stupid me!
Treatments
- Earn Money Working / Worked
- just like your experience I am sure
Open Obesity
Skinny as a rail growing up. I learned stress really makes me eat. Funny, food is used to celebrate life or when stressed. All the weight I lost a few years ago is back after a few years of stress hell and a fresh divorce. I am rebuilding my life. Now, I want to control what I eat and rebuild my body.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Carbs are my food of choice and are my hardest foods to stop eating.
- Jenny Craig Working / Worked
- Yeah- it worked if you can afford it. Weight came back after having to cook for myself before being able to finish program directives. Just cant afford it.
Open Healthy Sex
I am human. I love sex- especially with my significant partner.
Open Child Support & Custody
I have two children who I am thankful to have.
Open Step Families
