My real name is Desire.I am divorced. Grandmother of 5 beautiful grandchildren. I am a survivor of Breast cancer, and 3 time survivor of Domestic Violence. I've had a lot of tradegies in my life, but have managed to be a survivor. My therapeutic outlet is my writing, I am an Army Veteran. I have a vivid imagination.I have a soft romantic side, and a dark side. I am a type of person I hold in a lot of emotions. Bottling it up inside. I have had the love of my life, and lost him....Every time since then I think I have found Love, they all Lie, and Deceive..is there such a Thing as Real Love? Or is it just reserved for the movies???..
  I have 3 children..2-Daughters and one son..My son he is 17yrs. diagnosed with Bi-Polar/Borderline Autism/Dysprexia.He has been a major challenge..forced with issues I never thought I'd have to face..He is definately my life's challenge.
Traveling a road when your children suffer from a mental illness,Autism,Down's syndrome..any special needs is not one most parents are prepared to handle, nor can all parents handle with ease..It is very hard, challenging, and sometimes..you have to wonder..does God really exist...Having a mother with mental illness is one thing, but your own children is another..Thanks for stopping by
