Hi there, My name is Laurie and I am a parent of two boys ages 11 and 10. Our journey early in life as a family was so challenging that I was divorced from my husband after 5 years. I am currently in a relationship with someone that I have been with for 9 years now. He has helped me raise the boys....but, after all that has happened in my life getting to the alter...is something I just cannot do. Everyone around me knows that there is one thing in this world that means more to me than anything else - Diego and Dakota. They are my life. I have spent since 1996 protecting them and to this day fight for their happiness and well-being. I usually carry with me a personality online that is very different from the real me. In real life I have self esteem issues and i know it. Online I act out as if I am completely and utterly confident with myself. In the virtual world it is much easier to do things like that. Now if I could only shift them over to the reality side of life I would probably be alright.
