GTKY

What is a little known fact about you?  Something that people might be surprised to hear.

I have been a Tarot card reader since I was 12.  When I was 15, I was offered a job as a Tarot card reader over the phone that paid $20/hr.  I really wanted to take it, but it was during the school year so I had to decline.  By the time summer rolled around, they didn't have any openings.

  • something you may not know about me...my mom, sisters and I all lived with my grandparents for a year after my mom's first divorce. and I loved it!
  • Im pretty open about myself, but something you may not know about me because its extemely embarrasing is that I am a former victim of physical, sexual and emotional abuse for 5 years at the hands of my sons father. My husband saved my life. If he had not expressed his interest in me and jumped in to ask me out so quickly after the x and I seperated (not the first time) I would have gone back to him and he would have eventually killed me. He was way too close way too many times.

    You shouldn't be embarassed. You should be proud as hell of yourself that you were strong enough to get out and stay out.

    I agree 110%. and you're also such a wonderful role model for your son!

    All this and *HUGS*!  My sister went through all that and it took her 14 years to get out.  Unfornuately, I think the damage is already done for her daughter.  Good for you to get out!

  • I don't know how to read music.  I took a class called "Music in the Elementary School" in college and we had to learn how to play some songs on the recorder.  H helped me memorize the finger placements so I wouldn't fail my performance tests.  The sheet music was placed in front of me and I pretended to look at it.

     Be very proud of yourself! It is a lot easier said than done, but I am right there with you. I was also physically, sexually, and emotionally abused for years. Luckily my bad past was before my husband and daughter.
