Follow along on Scarlett's Journey as people...
I found out that my mother's parents had passed away and have left her there house. I find out that my mother was from Washington State. Picture of my mother's parents house on top.
When I was 15 years old, my mom ended up losing her job at the hospital again. It was because they we're having to make budget cuts. My mom already took a cut in her pay check.
Mom decided she was not going back to work at any small store. She was getting behind on the house rent and was having a hard time making ends meet. One night she told us, we were moving back to Washington at the end of the school year.
So when school let out on May 16th, the next day we ended up packing up all of our stuff. Some movers come and got all of the big stuff an took it to Washington to our new home.
My brother ended up dropping out of Community College, because he couldn't pay his student tuition. When we got to Washington it was only a few days later when my brother found his mate. They ended up dating through the summer and got married on July 3rd.
My brother ended up getting a job and got a rental house with his mate. My mother ended up running into Dean a few weeks after, moving back here to Washington. They ended up having a long discussion about everything. She even got a nursing job at the hospital in town.
Dean ended up getting to know his son over the summer. He started a relation ship with my mom. They got married on 28th of August. My mom ended up selling her parents house. We moved in with Dean a week before there big wedding day. A picture of Deans house down blow.

The reason why mom left Washington in the first place is because, she got pregnant at 16. Her parents were firm believers in marriage before babies. A man places is the head of the household and the woman places is the caregiver of a home.
Dean was 21 years old and working with the fire department. He just found his mate's the day before mom found out she was pregnant. She didn't want to cause Dean any problems and she was too scared to face her parents.
She thought that her and Dean were mates, but she was wrong. She wrote a note to her parents, packed her stuff and left. When she got to Colorado, she ended up getting her GED and then started Community College to get her nurses license.
The school ended up helping her with the baby, seeing that she was a single parent. They help provide her with childcare while she was in school. She got discount on her housing until she graduated.
She just graduated Community College and started working at the hospital when she ended up meeting my dad.
She told Dean she was 19 years old and with a three year old kid. She had just started work and getting good pay. My dad had just lost his father and was trying to help his mother.
He was the only child. She said it was just one of those situations, that they were leaning on each other for support and they ended up dating even though he worked overseas.
When he got time off, he come back home to see her and his mother. She feel pregnant even though they used precaution. She was even on birth control but that didn't really work out. She was on birth control when she was having sex with Dean too. He was using a condom back then and she still got pregnant.
She didn't find out she was pregnant until 2 weeks after he left. He wasn't told until 2 months after, when he received a letter she wrote to him. He came back home and things got heated.
They ended up breaking up and he would send her money to support her until she gave birth. She told him that she did not want to keep the child. She explained the situation from her point of view to him.
Three days after, I gave birth to Scarlett. I sign over all my custody to his mother. He was overseas. I couldn't afford to go through the court to fight for rights to see her. The reason I didn't want the child is because financially, I couldn't support two kids and still work.
Bridget, Scarlett's grandmother was being such a bicth to me. She had Social Services involved and a very powerful lawyer with her. If I didn't sign over full custody rights to her, she was going to have social services get involved in my case and have Mark taken away from me as well.
Scarlett's father died in action an all of his money went to his mother from my knowledge.
Scarlett grandmother passed away from pneumonia. I got full custody back of her because, I'm the biological mother of Scarlett.
She was 7 years old when I got her back and Mark was 11. He was such a big help with her. I always made sure they got off to the school bus. I was working full time as a nurse, there's was times I didn't make it back home until the after noon.
As you know Mark ended up playing football and he always made sure to keep up with her. When he was out practicing, he make sure that they both got home safe.
I know me and her don't have a good relationship. I believe that is because her grandma raised her to be spiteful. I know that she resented me, because I made her do chores around the house.
She rather spend time locked up in her room then to spend time with us. Overtime it just got easier to have her in her room, then it was to deal with her.
I know she probably got everything she wanted and was very spoiled by her grandmother. It was a big change when she came and started lived with us.
Dean you know, I'm at my wits end with her. All she does is give me attitude and refuses to speak to me.
