Eileen - Courage To Change

About Me

I'm a wife, mother, business services specialist and a grateful recovering memeber of Al-Anon Family Groups. I have 3 children (his-boy, 17; mine-girl, 14; ours-boy, 7). We live in Centreville, VA (moved from Kettering, Ohio where we spent 11 months, in 2000) and before that I was born, raised and lived in Racine, WI.
