Why is it that I feel like I have so much to say but when it comes to starting this blog I am speechless? I will start off by giving you a brief history…..
I am a lesbian who was married (to a man) at 19, had two children. Divorced at 22 and lived with a woman that I loved for a year and a half. Was told that lifestyle was a sin so I left her and went back to him. Married him again at 24, had two more children, lived a life immersed in conservative fundamental Christianity for the next 15 years.
I have four wonderful children. My oldest son, Brenton, is 21 and is in the normal young adult transition of trying to find out who he is and what he wants to be when he grows up. He is about to embark on a journey far from home and go to culinary school. I am very proud of him. Michael is 19, going into his 3rd year of Christian College to be a family minister, he is unofficially engaged to be married, and is working in Joplin doing disaster relief this summer after the tornado. Again I am proud of this young man. Margaret is almost 14, looks 17, and acts 25 (enough said) and Johnny is 12 going into junior high and is totally stoked for football right now. Both promise to grow up and be outstanding adults.
I work almost 60 hours a week managing a grocery store and I take on side jobs of painting and finishing drywall in my spare time.
I have a wonderful girlfriend who you will probably hear a lot about.
I like text lingo so you will see some of that in my writing and I love humor so hopefully you have a sense of humor as well. J
I am a 42 year old woman with seemingly 82 years of story to tell.
My desire to publish this blog come from the events of 2009 in which I could no longer live the “pretend” life that I had been living. I searched desperately for someone, anyone, to relate to. I found no one. I vowed I would be there for others in my position once I got on my feet. I am on my feet and it is time to tell my story.
