I’m a single mom of 2 boys (19 & 17) who is 16 years divorced. If my life had a TV tag line, it would be something like “If it can happen, It Has Happened!” I was 9 months pregnant with my 1st baby when my only sibling, my brother was killed in a car accident where he was passenger. I birthed my 1st baby a week after his death. Life from that moment forward has been paradoxical. Betrayed, abandoned, abused, but still living with a smile for the 2 pairs of little eyes whose only lifeline is me. Developed an eating disorder along with body dysmorphia, dealt with a narcissistic partner. I’ve been at the top of game financially abundant “living the dream” to losing everything & slowly rebuilding. I’m learning how to extend grace to myself- the same way I give to others. My degree is in Sociology, & I have been a behavioral counselor for students K-12. I don’t have the answers, but I have 2 ears to listen & arms to hug.
