  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Bear with me...it is painful to type so I will try to make my long life story short.:sigh:

My name is Heather. I was born in L.A. Ca, raised in Tacoma, WA and Newport, WA. I am 32 years old, married in my heart 9 years, married in the court almost 3 years. My husband and I have 9 beautiful children. My husband was married once before and withat marriage he accuired 1 step daughter, 1 son, 1 daughter, and a set of twin daughters. I came with 1 daughter and a son in heaven. Together we had 2 daughters......HAVE I LOST ANYONE YET????^_^

My parents seperated when I was little...I, my brother, and my cousin where put in seperate foaster homes where I was m*lested at about 6 months of age. My Uncle retreived us all and we were placed back with our mothers. At age 5 my mother meet the best man ever...my daddy. Between this time and until I was 11 I have little memories of being m*lested by family friends. I tried going to church but ever friend I had that was a church goer...my mother would ban me from them and had a major hunger for church. At age 11 my mother and daddy got married only for my mother to leave him for a man with money. We were forced to live with her. The man she married had charges against him for m*lesting his own daughter...hinch he did it to me and my mother told me I was a lieing little B*tch. I rebelled and my brother got kicked out because my mother didnt want to lose he money....she was told him or my brother. My mother finally sent me back to LA to live with my aunt....weeks later she moved down to. During School one day when my aunt was in Aussie she moved back to Tacoma with the Money man. I came home to nothing at age 12. Had to go stay with my aunts boss.
Finally my mother signed us over to my DADDY. We went through several years of my mother getting remarried, attempted suic*de 8 different times and put in mental hospital just as many. She dissappeared out of my life for years.

My daddy went to check out Newport wa to see about living there while he worked a mine....I stayed with friends. My freinds mom became abusive so we ran away and lived on the streets for a couple of weeks...talk about scary.....THE STREETS ARE NO PLACE FOR LITTLE CHILDREN.
Finally I hitch hicked home...another scary story.....
We moved to Newport......I was stupid and hung out with the wrong crowd....got into drugs.....got prego at 17. I graduated high school 7 months prego. Gave birth to my first daughter at 18. 2 months short of my 19th b-day I got prego again.....was told my baby wasnt growing and that I was going to give birth to a still born....so I had a abortion...WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE....THESE FEELINGS ARE HARD TO LIVE WITH....
Ran back to tacoma.....got hooked up with my Jr high sweet heart....had been in love with this man since I was 13....always wanted his baby. GOT PREGO AGAIN. His dad had drug probs and was denied the ability to see his daughters unless he went back to his ex girlfriend (she had lots of money he didnt) so I let him go.....to ease the pain I went back to Newport to be with my daddy. January 20, 1994 I gave birth to a GORGEOUS baby boy. The one I always dreamed of having. May 10th I turned 21 and on May 15th my son went home with Jesus due to S.I.D.S. Hurts to this day.

Went through another stupid period of drugs and abusive boyfriends.....then begged my son to find me a daddy for my daughter. And he did. I meet a man with 5 children...living on his own.... raising them alone....I thought he was a dork and was not interested. His twins and my daughter went to school together.....so everyday his children would drag me home and tell everyone how they were going to make us get married. Well Our child did it....we after to more children finally got married. My husband brought me back to Christ, to the church and so much more.

I came from a very poor family, a biker family, a drug family, a alcoholic family, my daddy saved me from all that and my husband continues to carry me to the Lord.

As for my mother.....I finally decided about 6 years ago to make amends with her...even tricked my brother into talking to her and making amends....a couple of months later she died in her sleep...Her liver was shot from all the drinking and drugs and she had infections throught her whole body. AND I MISS HER!

There is so much more to my life...but I hurt and my brain fogs are really bad right now. GOD BLESS! :sorry:
