I have heard about blogging as many have. Not really reading any. But I needed a place where noone knew me and I could vent my frustartions at unknowing participants. LOL So here I am... and I hope you all welcome me with open arms.
First my history... I will be leaving some stuff out to protect the innocent or the not so innocent... LOL ... I am a recovering drug addict... Meth was my drug of choice... in the 80's it was so accessable... during that time I had a little girl and I thank my life for her... She is the reason I got clean and moved on to "try" to lead a productive life.
To make a long story short ... I got clean and ended up finally meeting a wonderful man and got married. Currently I am going to college online and taking care of my two elderly unwell parents.
So this is where we will start. I just need a place where I can go... =)

ReplyDeleteYou're a brave warrior, huge kudos and lots of respect :)
ReplyDeleteDuring the single month I lived as caretaker, I found huge amounts of very helpful sites. I don't think I'd be able to cope without them, and my situation was a lot easier than yours (lots of people sharing the caretaking duties, short period, etc.). As I said, lots of respect.
Wishing you and your family all the best,
Daniel (from a faraway land)
