    • About Me

      I am a recently divorced (after 17 years together 13 years married) Mom to three wonderful children (one on the Autism Spectrum). I have found that since my ex and I split I have been given a gift to discern what I truly like as opposed to what I thought I liked as an other half. What I can say for certain is that I love to see the humor in things. When I'm having a tough moment music and my family get me through.

      My Babies!! Music (Van Morrison, U2, Led Zep and Jimmy Buffet) to name a few, would rather play than watch - love tennis, running and biking. Recently tried kite boarding - kicked my butt but I loved it!

      Today was my baby's third birthday, he didn't see her at all. I can't begin to understand how he can be so cold.

      That is really hard. I have two girls other than Stephen. My girls are 13 and 8 they are both "normal". It is so difficult trying to divide the time. My girls are resentful at Stephen for taking so much time and $$. I guess it's normal. His behavior is ALWAYS a challenge. He's at times all over the place and others quiet. You never now what will happen when you wake up in the morning. I go to a West Haven group that for all types of Special Ed. kids. It's great!! Please do keep in touch I also need someone to chat with.

      My daughter, Riley, was diagnosed ASD when she was 28 months. She is now 6 and working so hard to live in our world. Riley has taught me so much. I am hoping to find other parents who can share.
