How 10 years can change your life to the point of no return!

I am an Irish born woman, I love my home country and always want to go back but I am in a relationship with a Bronx born guy who will never move to the country that calls my heart home every day. When I move here, it was to help my 8 month prenant sister whom has arrived in NY two years prior to me. When I got to NY I was living the life any 21 year old could only wish to live. I was waitressing in an Irish Restaurant (go figure) and I finished work at 12am and when in NY what is there to do at that time when you've been working all day, go to the bar and join the fun. I was sleeping all day, getting up at pm and starting work at 3pm. That was a 9 hour shift, being paid $2 an hour + tips, the income wasnt what I imagined so I was sleeping on my sisters sofa. She went on and had the baby in October 2009, a beautiful baby boy, and I helped as I had planned on doing. Unfortunately, she left 10 months later and I decided to stay. I was heartbroken but life must go on. I had to adjust to life here by myself and make move to improve my living situation. I found a better job, an administrative assistant at a well known moving and storage company in Manhattan. It wasnt the Manhattan so many girls dream of working in, it was in the less than favorable part. Sometimes I wonder if I hadnt taken that job where my life would have gone. This point is where everything changed for me. Overtime after taking this job I changed Personally, and mentally. I dont want to give the whole story away in one shot but I went through things, so many things, that many people wonder how I had the strength to go on, or even stay in NY. I am going to make my story into many sections as there is so much to say and I dont want to bombard you all with it all in one go. Believe me when I say this story is one you want to read its full of betrayal in the worst way, having to pick myself back up, coming out on top again only to fall after giving birth to my first child. This story will never end as I still live this story, day after day, so you won't get bored that I guarantee you. Thank you for reading my first story and I look forward to continung the journey down memory lane with you all and bringing you into my life and understanding where my strength and my weaknesses come from. It all starts when I was a child in Ireland with an alcoholic mother, 6 siblings, 3 of whom I lived with and 2 I didn't live with and didn't know. Periods of time in care with an amazing family who I still love to this day. Please stay with me and you will learn every last detail about me and why I am the person I am today. Thanks you and much love, Zara xx
