I am a 44 year old female,I have been married for going on 27 years,I have 2 daughters Christina age 26 and Cheyenne age 24,I have 1 son Donald Bonham 2nd (Bubba) he would be 23 right now ,but he was killed in an auto accident at age 18 on august31,2003 I miss him so very much! Bubba's 2 cousins Michael age 23 and Haley age 11 were also killed in the accident along with him.I have 2 grandchildren Nathan is 5 and Alyssa is 1 ! I was beaten by my daddy when I was 5 years old on up,I was also mentally abused by him,I learned to forgive him a few years before he died in 2001.I was raped by a boyfriend when I was 15 (he was 21)my parents should never allowed me to date someone so much older than me! I was pregnant by age 16, married and gave birth to my first daughter by age 17.
My husband had severe brain damage from a motorcycle wreck in July of 1990 he was 28 at the time and I was only 25,he had to be taught everything all over again,I was the one that took on this very hard task,all 3 of my children were still in elementary school at the time!
I worked in the medical field for several years and I loved working with the mentally retarded at the state school,they are all still very special to me.
I believe that what does not kill you, just makes you stronger!!!

TwoBoo on March 25we have spoken..... i am still very much a stranger to you both in friendship and in voice... i read your profile and i am sure many who have you either turn and say thank God mine was great. or gee it was not that bad........ or gee reminds me of my life.... of think gee she had it easy..... i remember one person saying and this sticks in my mind... if everyone got into a circle and each person through in their troubles.. the gaurntee is everyone would still pull out their own... cause for what ever our lives were... we still had choices to change them to the best of our possiblities... i was once talking to a man... who was forcet delieverd and they damaged his brain... so he had major fits... and one day sitting near a fire had a fite and was badly burnt... and i asked him is they anything you would have liked to have changed........... and he said no..because then i would not be who i am today...Unapprove | Delete
as i read your profile i say no anger no hate no self pity just a person who was in the wrong places at times and got caught by what no person should encounter in life... and look at you know... for all your experiences be they sad and tramtic gave you the choice to become who u cared to be today... and that is a far better thing.. know you survived and guide others to a safer place in life..cause you been there ....
i know i have babbled on... please if you like delete it... just that for some reason i felt a need to say this... be is right or wrong.. that is your choice of acceptance....
