State of Disarray

By
So now I have been married twice, my first marriage lasted for 17 years to my high school sweetheart. It did not end because I wanted it to. He simply found someone else. I was still in love with him. He was the love of my life. We have a 15 year old son, who is the best part of the both of us. I am now trying to repair the broken relationship between father and son, with the hope that they can both heal. I will do anything necessary for my son, he is my life.

I have been married this second time for almost 7 years. It seems I have been married for all of my life. I got married so young at 18 and I am now 43, so I suppose I have been married at least half of it. This marriage started off as a dream, straight from the wedding, everything was just perfect. Now we are struggling a bit, my health is the biggist culprit, but that was the biggist culprit in my first marriage too. When my first marriage ended. I was told "I am sick and tired of you being sick and tired", well hell what did he think I was?

My health was great when I married this time, then I tore my rotator cuff just before we married, now 3 shoulder surgeries, 2 knee surgeries, 2 herniated disc in my thorasic spine, degenerative disc in my lumbar and cervical spine, plus fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, mitral valve prolapse and chronic chostochodritis and here I am today. A walking freaking nightmare of pain 24/7 and did I say depression due to all of this pain..God help me...

I live one and a half hours from my family. I never go anywhere, partially due to my health, except to Nicholas' football games and school functions. I do not socialize with anyone, pain makes it very difficult to have friends. Not many people understand my health issues. I am extremely isolated, now I am not certain that my health is the only reason that I am isolated. I think that there are other issues at play, that keep me isolated from the outside world, maybe my inner circle...

I am not sure why, but it seems to exaserbate my issues tenfold. So I decided to create this BLOG... It is alot to share with outsiders, alot of "dirty laundry", but it is my life, it happened to me! Every freaking sorted detail of it! I live with it EVERYDAY!!

I am also seeing a christian counselor. I find her very comforting to me.
I a mother of 1 son, who is 29 We believe in God. I have and adore my 3 service dogs and 2 ESA cats. I have Service animals because I suffer from 9 autoimmune conditions which affect my nerves , bones, connective tissues and joints. I have had 15 surgeries, I live in pain 24/7 but I am very determined, very intelligent and it doesn't define me . In my spare time I enjoy writing books and poetry. I enjoy painting; collecting art. I like reading; collecting rare books, listening to music, of all genres,going to concerts. I have an extensive music collection. I also enjoy antiques, or just quirky old items. I am a collector of quality jewelry. I am also a major Gearhead,I feel the need, the need for speed. Traveling is also a given. I also enjoy Carolina Football. The Chiefs, The Steelers. Family is the 1 thing that is most important to me,I am fiercely loyal to my friends and family I am honest, faithful, loyal and believe integrity is a must.m

      I guess i stopped posting because I thought it might bhe too private and no one really cared to read it. I received your message the day I was going to take my blog down. Thanks for sending me this message. I am sorry it took me so long to respond. I hope to make this a more positive site and put this negative stuff behind me. Yes these thing happened to me, but they are not who I am or what I am. I am a strong intelligent woman! I care about and want to help others.

      Kindest Regards

A lot has happened since my last post. My mother has had 2 strokes. My marriage is failing more day by day. So is my health. My son is suffering living is all of this. I am continuing counseling and also decided to go a step farther only to discover that I in fact suffer from PTSD. I thought only soldiers who had been thru a war could suffer from this. Apparently what I have been thru is tantamount to going thru a war. Everyday for me is a struggle physically, the pain is unreal. More and more new diagnoses keep coming. This puts a great financial strain on our family.  I am forced to live in a situation that I do not want to be in because of my health situation. I want so badly to be happy. I don't want the man I am married to now to feel obligated to me or pity me. I think he feels like he has to take care of me because I have no options. I have begun writing novels and poetry. Poetry is just for fun. I hope the novels will catch someone's attention when I am done. I kn...

The Fall

By
I am a proud Southern Woman who had to raise her child alone after his father walked away from a 17 year marriage, my son was 5. I had to go to work with health issues every day, after not working for 15 years. I had a full ride scholarship after high school because I was Salutatorian of my class. I chose a local small school although my school guidance couselor begged me to choose differently. I was blind, deaf and dumb in love with the local "bad boy" and of course I thought I could save him from himself. Both his Mom and Dad had died when he was barely a teen and I was convinced that my love for him would be enough to save him. I stayed in school less than a year, "bad boy" wrecked our car, it flipped over 3 times, he was trying to outrun a Highway Patrolman, long story. He, I and the dog are lucky we survived, thank God for a 1972 Plymouth Duster. We were not even wearing seat belts. I had to say "bad boy" did lay across my lap to try and hold me down...
