    • About Me

      I have bipolar disorder so I am considered disabled so I don't work outside the house. I am a housewife and mother. I am a Christian. I enjoy scrapbooking, making greeting cards, sewing and other arts and crafts. Enjoy using the computer. I think it is better than T.V. I am married to an older man and have one son from a previous marriage.

      You have a beautiful family! Please go and get help. I have been through alot myself with psychosis and the intrusive thoughts and I have 3 kids. Just think about that would you? I am still here taking care of all of them and they are safe because I finally have my head on straight. That will be you too! You dont have to hurt your family and you know you really do not want to. You arent thinking clearly sweetie. Get help ASAP! Your son is such a handsome child... He needs you and he loves you... You do not want to take any of that away
