Introduction

My name is Krista. I am a 30 year old single mother to five children. In my lifetime I have gone through what has felt like going to hell and back countless times. I have been through struggles, lessons, heartbreak and feelings of worthlessness time and time again. But the one common factor is that I always end up coming out ok and stronger than before. After this most recent struggle I am currently in counseling and one thing that my counselor pointed out is that I am resilient. This is why I have made the life choices I have made when it comes to my family and friends. I am determined to give my kids better than I was ever able to have and break the cycle that my family has been "cursed" with. So I have decided to start a blog about the struggles I have overcame as well as current struggles. Basically a life blog. I know I can't possibly be the only one that has gone through some of the situations I have been through and I would love to have my story help someone else. As time goes by I will write about things that come to mind. To give a brief overview of what is to come in the future, there will be posts about my most recent struggle, losing the love I believed to be my God given soulmate. I will also post about cutting family out of my life. growing up with a mom suffering from severe depression and all of the things involved with living such life including losing my brother to adoption, being removed by child protective services and feeling resented by my mother. I will also post about being a teenage mother, getting married when there was no love as a teenager. Going through two divorces, one which I lost two of my children in the process. Struggles as a parent. Financial struggles. Emotional struggles dealing with my own battle with depression. As well as the difficult topic of being raped by my step father and father as a child. Everyday is a struggle although everyday is also a chance to get stronger. I hope that you get something from my posts, what ever it may be, may you be blessed everyday and continue to grow.
