    • About Me

      I am 35, a mother of a 2 year old daughter, who is my whole world! I am separated from my husband of 13 years marriage, 17+ years together total. I am currently unemployed and struggling with severe depression, an eating disorder that has plagued me since I was 19! 2008 has to be the worst year ever for me, not only have a separated from my husband, but we lost our home to foreclosure, and are filing for bankruptcy, and now I am unemployed. Most days I want to die, but my baby girl is what keeps me here... I was a banker for 12+ years and recently worked a second job as a waitress in a nice family restaurant. My problems and illnesses have left me hopeless and afraid.

    • Open Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility

      I lost a child at age 17, lost and feeling alone, afraid to tell anyone and a strong religious backround, I had know one to turn to and being so afraid I made the worst mistake of my life and had an abortion. To this day, 17 years later I still grieve for my child and hate myself for the decision I made. Leading to depression, cutting, eating disorder, dysfunctional relationships, I could go on...I had a beautiful baby girl who is now 2 1/2 and my whole world but the hole is still there.
