About Me
My number one joy and focus is my son. He's the best and brings me so much joy. He is a teenager now so that brings it's own set of issues, but I couldn't ask for a better kid.
Interests
I'm an animal lover, I probably have too many-3 cats and a dog, can get a little hectic around the house. I also assist a senior citizen once a week. I love music.

Close Gambling Addiction & Recovery
I'm a 46 year old single mother who has always thought I had my life under control. Somewhere along the way I became a compulsive gambler-slots. I thought I was a strong person. I have had some personal issues and health issues, not sure if that pushed me over the edge. It's hard to find someone to talk to about this and I'm hoping to be able to connect with other people who are going through what I'm going through. Of course, now I have added money issues to my list of problems.
Treatments
- Gamblers Anonymous Somewhat Helpful
- I attended a few meetings and felt uncomfortable. There were some good things, not sure if I will go back.
Close Lupus
I was first diagnosed with Lupus approximately 10 years ago, at that point it just affected my skin when exposed to the sun. Then 5 years ago, it became systemic. I don't think my family or friends understand how bad you can feel even though I look fine on the outside.
Treatments
- Plaquenil Working / Worked
- Prednisone Working / Worked
- Prednisone has been tremendously effective and has given me the most relief from the pain and stiffness.
Open Financial Challenges
I am embarrassed to say that my financial problems were totally caused by myself, the main reason is gambling. I am trying to turn my life around and my finances are a major source of stress. I work hard and am committed to changing.
