I am 18 years old. I got married when I was 15 and 8 months pregnant
with twins. To a very abusive older man. I spent two years with him
before I finally got the guts to leave and have made a better life for
myself and my two children. We have our own house and a big
backyard. I work full time, 42 hours a week at an animal shelter.
Eventually I'd like to go back to school since my situation forced me
to drop out but I just got my G.E.D. I think I have made it a long
way in a short while, and have also been clean and sober for 25 days.
It doesn't sound too long, but quite a feat for me. Right now I'm
just focusing on being a single mom, and doing the best that I know
how.
