I'm a 39 year old mother of a 12 and 14 boy and girl. I am a native of Fairfax, Virginia. But as I was growing up was moved around from the north east coast to the south east coast. I had a very rough childhood. Raised as a Jehovah's Witness until I was rescued by my father who gained custody of all of his children one at a time. I was the last to go. Suffering mental, physical and sexual abuse as a child I grew up with many issues that were not addressed until I was an adult. I was diagnosed with lupus at the the of 18 in 1995 at the University of Michigan, and have been fighting with the disease for 21 years now to date. It is now July 30, 2016. I married my high school crush in June 2001, which was a rough marriage, had my 2 beautiful and smart children, and divorced in 2014. Trying once again in another relationship, of 5 years that also was a disaster. We split finally in 2016 by my choice. That relationship cost me everything including my freedom. I am now single at 39 and plan to stay that way until God sends someone deserving of me my way. Until then, it's just me and my kids who I lost to my incompetent husband who has remarried while I was locked up doing time in New Jersey due to my last bullshit relationship. I have so much I could say about myself still but the above are the roots that led to my life today.
