    • About Me

      I am 28 years old. I am married to my best friend and we have 2 children. Our son is 10 and our daughter is 11 months. I was a pregnant teen, had my son out of wedlock, his dad is nowhere to be found. I am a Registered Nurse. My husband is a wonderful father to our kids! I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in 2006 and had our daughter in 2008. I come from a very dysfunctional family, moved out on my own at 16 years old, and have struggled everyday for 18 years with anxiety/OCD and disordered eating. I was the victim of sexual abuse at age 8-10 years, and emotional and physical abuse from age 10-16 years. I then left that for a dysfunctional and abusive relationship with my son's dad, who is an addict and a drug dealer (currently serving a 10 year sentence). My husband has been my saving grace. I always knew my life wasn't right, but I just didn't know how to be different, even though I wanted to be. He has taught me what it's like to live in a functional, normal household. My relationship is very calm and fulfilling. Our family is normal, my son is very well adjusted. I am living my wildest dreams. I continue to battle with my ED and anxiety/OCD, some days are better than others. My husband tames me (I was VERY wild before). He makes me better, as I do for him. I am looking for more specific support, though he is so good to me, he sometimes has a hard time understanding me. He doesn't understand how my previous dysfunctions still affect me. He doesn't realize all those things never go away. In that, he cannot always be truly supportive since he doesn't understand why I have my bad days. I have a strong faith in God. I love my family and children so very much.
