At the time I was 21 years old, severly anorexic, depressed, and in a VERY ABUSIVE relationship.  I was either going to die from the anorexia or suicide eventually. 

My son's father, I swear he was Satan himself sometimes.  Of course he'd beat me then turn around and tell me he loved me.  I came from an abusive parent then went directly to an abusive relationship it was all I knew.  Boy, life really sucked for me then. 

 I will always remember praying to God to give me a reason to hold on to life and love it.  A few weeks later, Feb. 14, 1996, I found out I was pregnant.  Of course at first I did not realize the blessing 100% because it was this angry man's child.  I was continually abused through out my pregnancy doing so much crying it became normal for me to walk around in tears. 

He was born, Oct. 15, 1996 at 12:20 a.m. HEALTHY!  Thank you Lord!  It was then that I finally realized my blessing.  I gave his father an ultimatum either cease with the abuse or I'm taking  your son away.  It stopped for a short while.  Then the day came where he was mad at me and came to my place of work and cut my face with my car keys...I called the police (1st time I ever had the guts to do so).  I went home packed my and Joshua's stuff and loaded the car and drove to Ohio.  No I did not know anyone in Ohio but I have been here for eight years now.  Joshua has not seen his father since and is such of a wonderful boy now 11 years old and as big as me!

I am now married for four years to a wonderful man who loves us and now also have two daughters.  I am so blessed to have my real family now. 

Thank you Lord and thank you Joshua!  Mommy loves you very much.
