    • About Me

      I left my abusive ex husband almost 3 years ago.I am going to school again(nursing) I am a parent of two 10&7... there are my biggest supporters in my life. without them I wouldn't know what joy is. The longer I am out of my abusive relationship the stronger I get, I have been able to overcome so much just in the last 6 months... The simpliest things like sleeping in a bed I now do without much thought.. We are all stronger than we realize and sometimes just need to challenge ourselves to overcome.. I finally am in a healthy relationship, where i am free to be myself and can enjoy having a partner to share things with.

      What is it like to live with a schizophrenic?

      It's depressing, dark and scarey.

      From jarrettg April 24

      A Lesson in Life Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. If someone hurts you, betrays you , or breaks you heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them. Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it. Have a great day
