It wasn't always this way. My life, like many others has been filled with strife.
I have been married twice, the first time for 14 years, the second for only three. I now work at a good job. All in all I'd say I have a good life.
I have two boys now 20 and 18. My twenty-year old is finishing a two-year prison term for assaulting a police officer. My younger son has been in jail twice for assault, each time for three months. I recently found out that my baby is a crack addict and spent the last 6 mths trying desperately to help him. The week of (Nov 12) I had to tell him to leave my house and NOT come back until he is clean. He has recently been charged with some additional charges and it looks like I will have to see him in prison too. Hopefully they will find their way. In the meantime I intend to be there for both of them when they need me.
For obvious reasons I have a vested interest in the problems of troubled youth, whether it be emotional or legal. Over the years I have dealt with a variety of agencies while trying to deal with these aspects of my life. If I can be of any help to you in your search for answers contact me and I will do all that I can to help
I recently gained a new niece when my sister and her husband adopted Amanda.
I also lost my dear mother on May 10 of this year. Check out HER page.
I can only tell you that life is HARD and if you aren't willing to work hard both physically and emotionally you will never be content with your job, family, or other relationships.
Only you can make you happy and you really can do that if you only realize that you are responsible for what you say and do not what others say and do.
Do what makes you happy, not what makes others happy, unless they are one and the same.
Give of yourself. Good deeds do come back ten-fold.
Be who you are and not what you think others think you should be.
If you want people to be there for you be there for them.
A life without LOVE is NOT a good life
A morning without coffee is NOTot a good morning
THESE MAY SEEM LIKE USELESS ADVICE BUT TRY LIVING BY THEM AND SEE......
MOST OF ALL BE HAPPY IN ALL YOU DO
