    • About Me

      I grew up in Boston and now reside in Indiana. I have 8 beautiful children ranging from 17-31. Three of my girls are 21 year old triplets. I made sure all of my children went to college. My youngest will go next year. I pretty much raised these kids on my own. A couple of really bad marriages in the past. I have has the same lover for almost 8 years on and off. It is sometimes a long distant relationship. I have 4 brothers and I and the 2nd oldest. We all have the same Mother but not the same fathers. My mother is a Narcissist and has caused so many issues with me and my brothers. I have an array of issues be it from Anorexia and Bulimia to sexual and emotional issues. I hope to find people to share and learn from. I have a hard time opening up.
