    • About Me

      divorced mom of 2 sons, 10 and 5. I lost custody due to this illness, but have been stable for 3 years now and want to fight for custody in a few years. UPDATE~ I asked the child custody evaluator, who is also a psychiatrist, if I could ever go back to court and win custody back if I remain stable....She said probably not, the only way I could have my boys live with me is if David, my ex, did something very wrong or bad to the children....Very unlikely....so....I'm not going to hold my breath.

      Hi love! I think it's funny that you zoomed in on the picture of you climbing down the ladder! I LOVE that picture! It's adorable! Jeff is cute to have thought to take that shot. Hahaha! So, what's happening with you lately? I'm just mostly working and hanging out. We're pretty busy at work. 'Tis the season. My sister and I are going Christmas shopping this weekend, and I'm sooo excited. We have a blast together. (We go to Outback Steakhouse for lunch every year and get filet mignons). It's a tradition. It's one of our favorite parts of our shopping trip. Mmmmmm!!!

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      My story is a long one...I'll try to make it short. I was diagnosed after my second son was born as being Bipolar I. Ended up divorced and losing custody because this "DISORDER" makes me a bad mom in the eyes of the court, which is the farthest from the truth.

      my father died 8 years ago from kidney failure, my only brother died from a motorcycle crash this April and left behind two children and a wife...Now its only me, my sister and my mother...and we are all bipolar. There are no close relatives to help or support us, they live in Greece...
