My name is Kimberly (Kimmy) for short and I do mean short I'm barely 5.' I started this life almost like everyone else. Except my Mom married my father so that she could leave her home (her dad raped her, she got pregnant, had the baby and then was forced to give it up) needless to say that marriage didn't work and neither did two others.
She has finally met a man that was willing to help raise her children. Okay so they didn't do everything right, looking back I think they did the best they could. My father took off and ran away from his responsibilities, started a new family and then left that one too.
As a teenager I looked to others to fill the lost longing feeling of love. I had several boyfriends (one had raped with me a friend of his after I broke up with him for not wanting to have sex) I had run away from home because I got tired of being shipped back and forth between homes. My Mom was too young and my dad too stupid to raise kids.
While on the run I had worked at strip clubs and other seedy places just to survive until I found out that there was help out there. I moved back to Florida got a real job and met the man of my dreams....so I thought. He had problems and addictions of his own that through the rosy glasses of love I did not see at first.
Talk about out the frying pan into the fire...But I am still married to him (being from parents that so easily divorced I swore I never would) we have sought help and are now on the road to recovering what we once had.
When I was 34 I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer, had a total mastectomy no plastic surgery afterwards (Could not afford it) and now on that recovery road as well.
I have always been the friend or co-worker that others would talk to about their problems and ....get this....through giving others advice I actually decided to follow some of it and lo and behold....it works. I am now a pretty confident person who believes that as long as I BELIEVE in me..and God Believes in me...nothing is impossible.
Kimmy.
