My Life Now 2006

This page is about my life now.
Proving there is life after abuse and violence, I am now married to a wonderful man.
He treats me as a lady should be treated.
He doesn't beat on me, and he doesn't raise his voice to me. He is a very wonderful man.

We have no children together, which is good, I am probably enough to handle. *smiles*

We have two very spoiled dogs. They were, of course NOT spoiled by me, but others. *smiles*
Their names are Simon and Bandit.
Simon is the oldest, and is a mixed breed. Part German Shepherd, and part sneaky neighbor's dog. *he he*

Bandit is a full blooded Chihuahua.
They get a long really well together. You can read more about them, by clicking their names above.

My husband and I are mostly homebodies. Preferring to stay home together. We do, however, take one vacation a year. I guess we are sort of boring, but we are happy this way.

I have a wonderful mother-in-law. I sometimes think she loves me more than her own son. *laughing*
She's just the sweetest little lady I have ever met. So I guess I got a wonderful husband and mother in this marriage deal. *laughing*

I have one sister that I get along with. The rest of my family, meaning my mother, father and other sister do not care about me. They have pretty much abandoned me. That is their loss though. I am a very loving and giving person, I just adopt online family and shower them with my love.
You can read about them on their own page too.

I have a few illnesses that prevent me from working. So I do not work.
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis (Inflammatory), Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, and IBS.
I also fight depression and anxiety attacks. I am on medications for all of the above and will be for the rest of my life.

The cause of the RA has been contributed to the fact that I was hit by a car at the age of 3 years old, breaking both legs, one arm, and giving me a brain concussion.

The cause of some of the illnesses have been contributed to my family and my ex-husband. Stress makes them all worse. So I try to stay away from stressful situations.
Which means staying away from my blood family. But that's not so bad considering the way they have treated me.

That's about all for now. Check back, you never know, I may add something or change something.

Enjoy your visit!
