    My daughter, she was not raised this way

    Now as if things were not hard enough, my daughter who is 20 has a beautiful baby girl. The baby was sick so my daughter and a man she was dating took my granddaughter to the ER. Then they had to get her RX, so my daughter left the baby in the car with the guy so she was not out in the bad...

    quick way to fast forward in life LOL

    Years later I married another man. He spent our wedding night calling people we went to school with to tell them he had married me. I think that should have been my first clue. He told me all the time I was out of his league. We had a daughter also. He used to come in with hickeys on his neck...

    After High School Graduation

    I graduated in May of 1989. A week after graduation my long term boyfriend and I broke up. I think it was the stress from the fact that in Feb on my 18th birthday we had a car wreck and I nearly died. He and I split up for the entire summer. In August I enrolled in college. The day before I had...

    Any other Grandparents raising Grandchildren?

    I just want to say thank you for all the support. Aurora has always lived with me. Her mom moved back home in February before Aurora was born in May. I am the one who cut her cord! I love both Aurora and Amanda so much! I know there must be another woman on her in my situation and sometimes I...

    Any other Grandparents raising Grandchildren?

    Thank you Crystal. I am learning there are a lot of grandparents in my small town raising their grandchildren also. Its hard though when protecting your granddaughter means losing your relationship with your own daughter. I just wish my daughter could see how much I love her.

    Any other Grandparents raising Grandchildren?

    I am a 39 (till next month LOL) year old grandmother. My daughter is 20 and has a baby girl that is 8 months old. She was dating a man and they were out with the baby one night. When they got home my granddaughter had been hit. The entire side of her face, ear and skull were black and blue. CPS...

    Middle School and High School

    Where I lived at middle school was 5th-8th grade. When I was in 5th grade I had a neighbor who was an alcoholic. He lived at home with his parents and he was in his 30's. I had to walk past his house from my bus stop. I remember he would always yell at me and tell me to come see him and stuff...

    A few of my trials began early in life

    I do not recall much of my life before kindergarden. I can recall once witnessing my mother shoot at a man who was breaking into our apartment. I do not know if she actually shot him, she has said she shot him in the behind which is funny in a way. I just remember hiding around the corner of a...

    Trials and Tribulations

    I had a blog on here years ago with the same name I chose for this blog. I wrote about the many trials I have faced in life, in hopes that perhaps someone could be helped through it, or maybe someone would not feel so alone. I am frequently told my life should be a soap opera or a reality tv...

    I am in more emotional pain than I have ever felt

    I hoped this would get easier but its not. Her dad was folding her laundry and folding her underwear put him in tears. She is the oldest of 5 kids, she was the most mature and responsible one we have. I feel like she just threw away something that was so important. I think she is still lying...

    I am in more emotional pain than I have ever felt

    I have learned even more details the last few days. It was not once, and it was not forced or pressured. It was several times, and it was something she wanted. She says she had to know she was not a virgin because of a boy her age instead of the man who molested her. I just do not understand. I...

    I am in more emotional pain than I have ever felt

    I thought we had done so well, come so far. She had given speeches at large schools to encourage kids to speak out if they were being abused. She has encouraged others to preserve their innocense. She said she was afraid to say no or try to stop this boy due to his size. He is twice her size if...
