About Me
I am a divorced mom, with 2 adult children. I believe a bunch in the "do unto others" philosophy and taught my kids that as well. I love nature and dogs and laughing with true friends. I have a hard time making friends because I am a sucker for a bleeding heart. I have a long list of problems, some physical and congenital, but not real serious, but serious enough, and some from being abused and getting hurt; I have some emotional issues, like PTSD from the abuse, and I'm ADHD.

Support Groups
Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
I was physically and mentally abused as a kid and then married 2 different guys to keep it going until dec. 2007 I finally walked away from the second one and I'm sober and single and likin it now.

Close ADHD / ADD
I found out when I had Adult ADHD when I was about 40. I ran across a website that had like a 100 question test and I took it and it made me see that I had all these behaviors that held me back. So, I went to a psychologist that specialized it and got help.
Treatments
- Dexedrine Working / Worked
- They work great. Just within the last 3 months I decided I was "cured" and I was going to go off them. Within a month I was ready to start punching walls. I couldn't handle even the smallest frustration. And after 2 hours at my job, which is very tedious, but temporary, I was ready to scream I could hardly bring myself to stand there and do that boring work anymore. So I am back on now, and life is much better again.
Open Back Pain
Had chronic pain for years. My PT says a few weeks ago my back injury has never been given the chance to heal. I believe it, my life has not given it the opportunity for it to. Hoping to get into transitional housing so it can and I can go on with my life.

Open Breakups & Divorce
Treatments
Open Abstinence & Celibacy
I am recently divorced and just do not want to have casual sex, I don't really believe in it. I believe it messes with your emotions and that sex was intended to be used in a loving committed relationship. So I figured a little support wouldn't hurt.
Open Stress Management
i just can't handle stress, that's all
Open Alcoholism
Treatments
- 12 Step Program Working / Worked
- It worked and still works
- AA Meetings Working / Worked
- Gotta have the support of sober friends. It is hard to meet sober people out in the "real world"
- Cold Turkey Working / Worked
- I got so sick all the time I just quit, with the help of AA and out-patient treatment
- Faith Working / Worked
Open Marijuana Addiction & Recovery
Its been over a year now, and other than wanting to escape reality last night, I am doing great.

Open Life After Divorce
I was married 10 years, together 13. Most of the marriage was a fraud. I will be divorced a year in April. Feel like I will never be ready to "date" I am just going to have to "fall in love" with a friend. I am in no hurry. But I am in love, but that is nothing right now at this stage in my life. We both had more important issues to work on.
