This isn't about how it happened, or why. It's about my journey through. I'm hoping this will help me, and anyone else in this position.
I'm 27.
A mother of 3 great kids. 2 girls and a boy.
I don't have my GED, or a job. I'm going through divorce after 6 years of marriage.
I'm starting over.
A little about how it all began...
I had my oldest daughter Kai at 16. Stupid, I know. Then my middle girl Lo, at 18. Both with the same Dad. I quit school, and went off to live with their Dad in a city far away from family. Definitely the wrong decision. We stayed together 4 years. I got tired of the crap. So, I up and left in 2004. He's no longer in the picture.
I was working at a motorcycle shop. Met my soon to be ex husband there. Things were great. We decided to get pregnant. Our boy, Jack. Well, things didn't work out. But he's around and doing his job as a Dad.
So here I am, 3 kids to take care of by myself. Living at home with my parents. Trying to get my GED, so I can start school to become a registered Dietitian. This time around I'm never going to be in a position where I have to rely on anyone to take care of me. I'm building back up my self confidence. I'm learning from my mistakes, cause I know it wasn't just one sided in my relationships. I'm learning that you have to accept people for who they are, you can't change them. Or they never really change either. I'm getting healthy by starting back up exercising, and eating right. I'm learning how to become a better parent.
I was super young when I had to grow up, so I'm finally just now discovering myself. Only about a week ago did I realize what I even wanted to go to college for. I lost myself, and now I'm finding it again. And learning to never let it go for anyone.
So that's me. This is my journey.
You are amazing, I love you!
