I was date raped at 18- got pregnant- and still chose life- It was the best decision i ever made.
I would now like to start a support system/ non profit organization for teens in the same situation.
good for you babe !
Having my daughter.
I've visitied and experienced the lives of families who have been devestated by way (once in vietnam,bangladesh and america itself)
I am strongly anti-war..Have attended few rallies in the short time ive lived :)
All the break ups/relationships I've had. I have learned a lot about myself from each of them, and keep learning and growing.
I had a DUI accident about 23 years ago and it took them 45 minutes to cut me out of the car. Needless to say, they didn't think I'd make it.
This in itself, was the lesson of a lifetime. I've never driven after drinking again.
A very bad early marriage to a total jerk. It helped me recognize and appreciate my hubby now. I might not have been able to understand how truly special he is if I hadn't experienced the opposite end of the spectrum.
Years of drug abuse have taught me more about life, people, being real, strength, recognizing my weaknesses, knowing that I can overcome anything, and...um...how to hide stuff really well.

Being a victim of jealous hate-taught me tolerance for differences.
Having been emotionally abused-taught me the importance of self acceptance and positive self esteem.
Life is a great teacher for those willing to learn.
being born into this life. here i am. making it happen. i am a mom and i am cool.
my divorce freed me from pain and neglect and showed me how strong and positive I am, now I can speak to women who are still in bad situations and help them to think about what they really want
Yanno.. there's so much. From my mother who spent her days calling me whore and fat slob when I was a teen, to the male family members who molested me, to the boyfriend who beat, raped and stalked me. By the time I was an adult, all I had to do to improve my life, and promise a better life for my son, was to wake up each day and say, "Never Again," and "I won't grow up and be my mother."
And my life is pretty damn wonderful now! If not for the horrible, I wouldn't know how to fully appreciate the wonderful things most others take for granted.
everything ive experienced, the good aswell as the bad has made me stronger and wiser :)
My uncles and Grandmother were bad alcoholics and I drink very very rarely if I even do
you go girl! I'm against animal cruelty too
when two of my best friends died in a car accidents, but one was after the other!
Spending 9 years taking care of my invalid mother then she died and now I don't know what to do with my life, so I do nothing.
