Well to sum up a few things I've been through. Born to teenage mother. Both parents were drug addicts but I grew up mostly with my mom. Her drug of choice is meth. So no father ever. I'm the oldest of three other siblings. It goes me, my brother, my sister, and little bro. But I by far have more siblings because my father had many other children as well. A couple years ago I found out about another sister who is my first brother's age, so my father had an affair. I am also a little less than half native, Pomo to be exact and my mom's caucasian. So I'm biracial. As a child I endured many trials such as sexual abuse that still haunts me today. Also growing up I spent half my life with my cousin's who were very young when they took us in and they were extremely christian. My cousin was our youth pastor, there by putting us in line with the church families. We were pastor's kids. But they only took us 3 older ones in because we could be live in baby sitters, maids, and anything they needed because in my cousin's household there were 9 kids and 2 adults in a three bedroom house. I again was the oldest. After high school naturally I "rebelled" (hate that word). Doing drugs and being slightly promiscuous. Abandoning all morals and self worth. That was only a year. But I was extremely addicted since every generation. On both sides of my family are addicts. Did I mention my mom has also tried to commit suicide at least 5 times, one time I was there. At 19 i met my boyfriend, who is my husband now and he helped me stop partying, rave life is no life. My grandma died a few years ago a week before christmas, my cousin died 2 years ago from cervical cancer, and last year I found out my aunt has a brain tumor and it's big. Oh and my mother relapsed again in July and I took in my 14 year old brother to raise. I know life sick but there are good things in life. For some of us we have to look a little harder but I still believe everything happens for a reason. I've been with my husband a total of 6 years in Dec. And we have our 2 year marriage anniversary next year. I have over 74 credits towards my BA for interior design and over 18 credits in other areas like business. I worked for my first permanent job for a year, which I just got laid off today because the company made no money. Still fine. My brother is looking into trying lacrosse and my sister is working hard taking care of her daughter. My niece, who turns 4 on the 18th. I just splurged and bought her everything Frozen!!!
