| Introduction | *30 something *Believe that Everything happens for a reason. MY DX: PTSD, Anxiety, Fibromyalgia, ADHD; MARRIED TO: DH who has BP, Schizo-affective, PTSD and ADHD. He's sometimes stable, sometimes medicated in therapy. Have 3 bio children (Honeybunches; Princess who is 16 with PTSD; Angel age 19 w/o diagnoses). We also raised my stepson "Shnooks" from 2004-2010 when he was between the ages of 10-16. He had his own alphabet soup of diagnoses including PTSD, BP, Conduct Disorder and more. He's no longer a part of our lives, for many reasons including because that's in the best interest of our other children. Was previously an Infant-Toddler Lead Teacher; Preschool Teacher; CNA in home for medically fragile children; and most recently a CNA in an elderly nursing home before quitting to advocate full time for Honeybunches. I miss working and love helping others. |
