All About ME!

[skywatcher1973]

Well where to begin. I guess I will start from about the age of 13. Just to give you an incite as to who I am & why I do some of the things that I do.

Ok so at 13 my parents got divorced. My mom took me for just a bit & then I went back to my dads, big mistake. I became the child that all dads & moms dread. I was wild, I was allowed to do alot of the things I wanted to do & anything that I was told I couldn't do, I did anyway. I wasn't a bad kid, I was just raised without a dad that cared. By 14 I was no longer a virgin & by 16 I was pg with TWINS!! I got with their dad when I was 15 almost 16. I was kicked out of my home by my step mom. Not because I was pg, but cause we had to many disagreements. So I got with my now husband. We have had a very ruff road. He was abusive in every way. We got separated many times. He was a truck driver & while he was gone those many weeks I learned how to grow up. I had 4 kids & was living in homes that always needed work on them. Well many times I was unable to get hold of someone to do the repairs, I had to learn how to do the repairs on my own. So I could repair the many things from electrical to the plumbing in my house & in my in laws house. As far as the in laws, let me tell you we had our times. I had a time with my FIL, man he was a hand full, he tried to have sex with me, many times. He would make some awful comments, but I grew to love & respect him. He became the father that I needed. He passed away just last year. My MIL oh my we went at it many times. I hated her & she hated me. Needless to say she is so much more than a MIL now, she is my mom in many ways. During all of this time I got into drugs & so did my husband. We had a ruff time in it for years. I am proud to say that we both have not touched anything illegal in many years. My husband was hurt in a motorcycle wreck almost 7yrs ago & has been unable to work. I worked as often as I could come up with a job (which is hard when I only went to the 8th grade. Now I am very smart & can do more than most. I don't have a paper to back any of it up.) I worked at gas stations & well the last one I worked at I was always hurting. I had a knee that just wouldn't stop hurting. I went to the dr & he said you have the beginning stages of athiritis. So I was OK what do I do? He gave me meds & it just never got better. So I was let go of because of not being aboe to work as much. I then went to another place & again I was in pain, but this time it was in my hands, knees, ankles & just all over. I was able to stay there for awhile until I just couln't take it. So I quit & shortly after that I got pg with my now 2.5yr old boy. Right before I found out I was pg I found out that I had/have RA. So needless to say I was not able to go back to work. I am not bad enough for SSI yet. So while I knew I couldn't stand at a job all day I knew I could sit. So I just being a new mom again knew I also didn't want to have to put DS in a daycare. So I looked into working from home. I searched & I found Melaleuca. It is a way for me to sit here & work, but not hurt. So I started with them a little over a year ago. I started buying the laundry line & I noticed that my DS wasn't having any more problems with his asthma. We have been med free for a year!! Then I started taking the joint vitamins & I have to say I am able to move more freely now. This company has helped me in many ways. I just am so glad that I found Melaleuca!! So that's where I am at, at this moment. I am still with my husband for 21yrs. We have 5 kids. I still struggle with my daily life as a mom & a wife. Motherhood & wifehood is one of the hardest things that a person can go through. Well that's a look into my life & just a very few of my many struggles. It's nice to meet you.

You sound like you had to grow up way too soon but at the same time you sound like a very strong, good willed person with a large family.  Good for you!  Thats awesome.   You must be a wonderful mom!
