About Me
My friends call me "K." I've been pulling since I was 10 and I am now 31. I've been married for 6 years. I'm taking classes online to receive my Masters degree. I also work full-time as a recruiter. I suffer from many other things such as depression, alcoholism, migraines, acne, and anxiety, just to name a few. That's not even the full list. I'm also trying to find the strength and courage to get out of an abusive relationship. I want to get myself healthy.

Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I hate to admit this because I feel guilty for saying so, but I don't want to be married anymore. I've been with my husband for almost 7 years, married for 6.
