Ahh....yes. Finally free. I can get rid of this godforsaken nasty trailer and finally get my life where I need it to be. Problem was, the only place I could go was to live with my sister again, and she didn't have enough room for me and all three of my babies. My only choice... Continue Reading →
Chapter Thirty-Three: Single and Free
The kids, Curt and I later found a small trailer that was supposed to be temporary living. It was cheap, so we should've been able to maintain it while saving up for a better apartment - but the problem was Curt kept spending money on stupid stuff like books, cigarettes and takeout instead of taking...

Chapter Thirty-Two: Surgical Adventures
Living with my aunt was both nice...and not. On one hand, I got to get to know her and her step-daughter. On the other...I got to know her and her step-daughter. My aunt was a very nice lady in terms of being willing to help people who need it, and very resourceful in how she... Continue Reading →
Chapter Thirty-One: Damage Control Home and Student 2012
At some point, Gypsy must have realized that he could not do anything about my keeping the children. Had he called the police, they would have told him to go back to court to sort it out. Of course, the courthouse had been telling him for about 2 years at this point to re-submit a... Continue Reading →
Chapter Thirty: Thinking with the Heart
By December 2011, Curt had returned to Panama City, and intended to stay. I was in too much pain at this point to really care. I knew something was wrong with the baby and couldn't do anything for myself. It got so bad that I could no longer stand straight up or sleep lying down,... Continue Reading →
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Please Go Away Already
So, the new year rolls in with yet another pregnancy - it bothered me a bit that I learned of the pregnancy in April of 2011, because Angel would have been born this month, but I had to learn to let go for the sake of the new baby. Ah, hormones...and my poor doctor. To... Continue Reading →
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Welcome to 2011
I've got to tell you, being able to make the amount of mistakes I've made in this short of time has got to be some kind of a record. The reason I did not remember the end of 2010 was because, from the time I miscarried in September of 2010 until the following Spring Break... Continue Reading →
Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Professor
September 2010, after the miscarriage, I had changed over to a job at Waffle House. I didn't mind it. It kept me busy enough to not think about what all was going on. I had gotten tired enough of my cousin's crap that I moved out & got another place from the same landlord for... Continue Reading →
Chapter Twenty-Six: Losing Angel
For once, I was happy and hopeful towards a better future. I was confident that I could work everything out. I was away from all negative influences, I visited my children as regularly as I was able, I had gotten a job at the Winn-Dixie within walking distance to my house, Curt pretty much left...

Chapter Twenty-Five: My Happy Secret
I'm going to back things up just a bit here, because honestly, recalling all of this in proper order is difficult a decade later. So I want to do a *flashback* so-to-speak, to July 9, 2010 - the day after Grim's birthday. Grim had come to visit me at my frienemy's apartment, and Curt was... Continue Reading →
