re: My Biggest Inspiration

My Mom is my biggest inspiration

When I was 3 years old my brother was born, and my Dad got custody of me. My mom was 19 when she had me, and only got married to my Dad because "It was the right thing to do" They split up 6 weeks later (I was a little over a year)
My Mom has been through a hard life, therefore putting me through it too. She is a habitual offender and in 6 weeks she will be going to prison for the FOURTH time. She is sentenced to 38 years   She has used drugs in the past, but she mostly sold. She had three charges against her and they dropped two. The judge said if she wouldn't take the 38 years she would have to go to jury trial and they would add back the two charges making it three total. Then she would go to prison for 75 to 99 years, life. Even though what she did was wrong, She is such a good person. She is so caring and would give anyone the shirt off her back. She sold because it was the easiest way to make a living. She always spent that money on us and my DD. I feel like she felt she was so deep in with it, that her life wasn't worth trying to fight for. My Mom has basically taught me what not to do, how to not treat my daughter, how to look at life from a positive point of view. I believe that God gave me my daughter to fill the place of my mom, I needed that mother daughter connection somehow. She hasn't held or even touched my daughter since she was 3 months old and now she is almost 11m. She got picked up on December 21st, and we were going to spend Christmas with her at her house just a few days later.. I had to go clean out her house and get as much stuff as I could and it seriously felt like someone had died.

It might be a long shot, but we are still believing in a miracle, and I know one day she is going to walk free and live a good purpose filled life.

This is my biggest inspiration, my lovely daughter; miss evelynn faith!
Before she came along, I was into some bad stuff, and at my witts end. Shortly following the traumatic events in my life, I found out I was pregnant... I didn't know what to do. I stopped all my negative doings, got my life together, and put my pregnancy first. Got through that, and now I am raising a beautiful baby girl who saved me and made me who I am now. She is and will forever be my inspiration, she is wonderful and always brings so much joy.

no worries mama. im sorry about your mom though, that seriously is really sucky,  

Quoting Jobey & NCM♥ {TGT}:" I don't know you, but I am proud of you for not following in her footseps. I know a lot of people who do go down the prison road just like their parents   And I'm afraid my brother will end up there"

It's hard... believe me. But I try to think of my future kids and how I don't want to be a bad mom... how I don't want to be like her. And it helps.

Just be there for your brother. Let him know he is loved, and he is better than all of that drug and petty bullsmurf.

My brother isn't involved in drugs, he just has extremely bad anger problems from our mom. He cannot control himself at all   It makes me really sad. I grew out of that, I learned how to move on and forgive, but he's having a hard time. He just turned 17 this past month, and he's been doing better but I don't see him cause he lives in a different town so it's hard to help him stay positive. I'm not sure how he is reacting to the news now though

Yeah but I'm used to it   It will pass

Oh man. That's tough  

This is one of my best girlfriends, Jordan.

We have known eachother since I was 9, and she was 7.
She had her first baby at 14. She finished high school and worked, with the help of her amazing mother who helped her. The father of her son, im not going into details, but was NOT a good father. He also ended up being charged for something else I will not mention. She finally got this `man` to give up his rights. Her son is now 4 and doesnt know who he is, and to be honest, its a good thing.
She met her current boyfriend when her son was 2. They have a house, and another son, and her oldest son, thinks he is his father, which is sweet.

She is my inspiration, shes been through so much, I am so proud of her, she is 18 and has done so much with her life and is a GREAT mother. Im proud to have her as my friend!
