What has brought me here today!

When I was born my mother and father were very young! My mother, Teresa (16) and my father, Johnny (21) were both raised in controversial families. My mother by a Child sex offender and my father was raised in a family that favored all the other children in the family. When I was born my mother and father were both methamphetamine abusers. A year after I was born my parents had a set of twins. My brother and sister Cody and Casey. My parents split after my brother and sister were born. My mother took my brother and sister to live with her and I went to live with my father. When I was four years old my father met Lynn. Less than nine months later he married her. Less than a year later they started fighting and well, as a five year old watching your father and the woman you call mom fight constantly can cause mental damage. I watched my father beat my mother everyday from 1997 to 1999. In 1999 Lynn went to prison for something that she was forced to do for mine and my fathers safety. In 2001 I and my siblings were taken from my father. We were placed in the custody of California State. After almost three years in foster care I moved to Savannah Georgia to live with my step sister Dawn and her husband in 2003. They adopted me in 2005 and later that year I met my wonderful husband Craig at church camp. Unfortunately a year later I moved back home to California in 2006. Al tho in 2007 a little less than a year later I moved back to Georgia to be with Craig. We got pregnant out of wedlock in July of 2007. Unfortunately, four days before Christmas on December 20th 2007 I gave birth 20 weeks premature to my son, Jacey. Who died before childbirth. Since then We have had two miscarriages and finally succeeded in having our very first healthy little boy, Micha. Then my husband joined the Army and Has not lived with us since January of 2009. He currently is overseas serving our country in Korea. Now begins the story of an Army wife and mother.
