My Epileptic Mother is my Hero
Exactly 12 years ago my dear friend helped me to leave my toxic realationship where I had my princess & my twin boys. I had two boys older of my prior relationship. It took every courage and anger in me to take my kids and start all over alone. I was beat, threaten, psycological abuse, went throught so much like many other woman do and stay quite, for shame or what ever reason. By the time my twins were 8 yrs old & the gang of our hood at the time where harrasing them to join the gang. My boys were beat up, my car was stolen, i knew I had to leave or risk coming home or while we slept one of them could burn my house at the time. So I left it all and left to Wisconsin from Chicago. Economically in wisconsin was a fail to me, but school wise for my kids was excelent. Unfortunately since the pay out there is bi-weekly in every job i did struggle and got behind with bills and rent. Then again the nightmare of starting over once again. Being homeless really sucks, while in wisconsin I did rescue a doverman dog. I then moved to Indiana and omg, same the jobs sucked, lol. So i started to drive every day to Chicago and work. Till once again my Dear Friend offer me a house she had in Chicago. I was iffie about moving back to Chicago since I left practacly running away with my 5 kids.
