Let's Get Started!

   Just a little background info so that my posts will make sense! I am 26 years old, I am the mother of 1 boy (8 yrs), and 2 girls (6yrs and 18mos). I was married for 7 years and now i'm 3 years divorced. My ex was in the Navy and he came home over Christmas to let me and his kids know he had gotten someone pregnant. The events that came after were the worst times in my life. I didn't want to deal with it. I didn't want to feel the pain so I started going out and partying...alot. It was my way of trying to forget about it but it was the worst way to deal with it. Three years later i'm still dealing with it. I got counseling well, i'm STILL in counseling and so are my babies. We take it day by day and we are better everyday. We live with my grandparents (my mother's parents) who raised me. I have 2 sisters and 5 brothers. We are all close even though we all grew up with different people. My mom lives in Arizona with one of my sisters and my baby brother. Well, he's 6 so he's not a baby anymore!! One brother is a marine and he has a little boy and fiance and lives in NC. One sister goes to Marshall and I get to see her alot. My marine brother and I have the same dad but the rest of the kids have different dads. I was raised by my grandparents but he was raised by my dad. We all have gone through so much growing up. We had to deal with parents on drugs, parents who didn't want us, a mother who was beaten to near death so often that it was as normal as Sunday Dinner (which we never had). BUT through all of this we are strong, we are close.........we're pretty messed up in the head at times!! We always see the positive in every situation and pick each other back up when we fall. All of this sounds sad and depressing but that is NOT what my blog will be. It will be brutally honest but it will always have a positive spin. Hope you like it!!!
