About Me

If I share the whole of me with you, I share the good as well as the bad. I don't hide anything of myself from you, not in a deep friendship, or a deep marriage for that matter.
By sharing some things I hate about myself, I'm loving my inside enemy. I'm telling you I'm still human and have a lot of growing to do.
I'd love to tell you only about all my good points: it would make me feel a lot better, but it wouldn't be sharing all of me with you.-Liane Cord
Grateful to those who have helped me to understand that the past was not my fault. And how important it is for me to not live in the past but learn from it and allow myself to have the kind of life I would love to have. Yes I know that all is not happily ever after. I look foward to a relationship with no one abusing one another in any way shape or form.
I have had many trials in my life. I have PTSD due to the abuse I endure. I was abused as a child, raped for many years by the man that was supposed to be my husband. Left that relationship and fell right into the hands of a man that abuse me both physically and emotional. Then during one of our many keep away orders, he died all alone of a heart-attack. This has been very hard on me, because when I don't hear from people I think the worst. The mental abuse is the worst only you see the pain, and begin to think you deserve what you are having to endure.
Why am I writing this? It is because I want other women out there to know they are not alone and because it is about time the truth came out about my past.
The best part about my past are the four beautiful children I gave birth to. I love you all!! Amy thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your life. Amanda even though I am not very involved in your life know this,I love you very much. Isaac thank you so much for allowing us to build a relationship after so many years a part. I look forward to being a part of your future. Joshua is the youngest with many needs. He was born with spina bifida, a deformity of the spine.
Please put this banner on your site!
I am also greatful for the three silly granchildren, Alex, Skylar and Briana I love you.
As I prepare for the future I am going to college to earn a degree in Social Work, so that I can help others.
I am honest, caring, feisty, and direct to the extent that some consider bossy.
