My Story
I will first introduce my self to you, my name is Jillian. Growing up as a
little girl I had the same dream that every girl has: I'm going meet my prince
charming, fall deeply in love, have the wedding of my dreams, buy a house, then
have two children, a dog, and we would live happily ever after. I still to this
day hold on to that fantacy, just in a different way. You see I made some wrong
decisions in my life, that changed my fairytail. When I was 19yrs old I married
someone whom wasn't good to me, and we landed in and out jail through out our
8yr marraige. The was some good though, I had a daughter born in Dec.2001, and a
son, in Sept.2003. I tried my best to take of them, but the life I was leading
was no good for them. I wanted better for them, something I couldn't do. In
Jan.2007 their father and I were arrested again. It was then that I had to make the hardest
decsion of my lfe. I had decided to place my children in the custody of my sister. She raised them for 6 1/2 yrs. I knew that she could give them
a better life than I was living. I was a drug addict, living in cheap motels or homless shelters, and never kowig where my next meal was
going to come from. I endured physical, emotional, and sexual abuse from my husband, and was terrified to leave. I was isolated and all alone, felt
my family and friends gave up on me, and most had. Then came this day in Nov.2008 when my ex husband forcefully left my life. I had no where to go, so I called my family and they welcomed me with open arms. From there I got myself clean and sober, by attending NA Meetings ( Narcotics Anonymous), and started working
again. I was able to start seeing my kids, and we began to enter each others lives again. I worked very hard to get on my feet, enrolled in school, and did
what ever I had to in order to be in my kids lives. (Even though they lived several states away) During this time, I also met the love of my life, we have living
together since Feb.2009. He has shown me how to love again, and how a real man should treat a woman. He has been there for me through everything.
In Feb.2011, I was diagnosed with psuedo seizures, anxiety disoreder, migraines, and depression. This has affected me greatly, and has taken a big toll
on my health. Since my diagnosis, I have had to quit working, and file for disability. I'm not sure if can work again. My boyfriend has been here for me
and has stepped up to carry our finacial burden. Then in May 2012 both of my children have come to live with me. I am extremly happy to have my little family
under one roof. We may have our struggles but I know that we will be able to make it, because "Love never fails.".
