Welcome to my blog. Life has been difficult for many reasons for our family. After writing things down I found it was somehow a bit easier to keep going. It was my husband’s idea that I should start blogging. Hoping this will keep me going as well as possibly helping other families that are going through similar journeys.

From the start I had a troubled childhood, feeling and being different, bullied for not fitting in, growing older finding social situations a nightmare. Health issues galore. Typical teenager I hid behind the weekend drinking binges.

Joined the working world and enjoyed being kept busy . Got into a serious relationship which started off great but a few years in and the mental abuse started , then physical, then sexual. This totally destroyed me , i was alone and isolated from family and friends, i lost everything. I even tried to take my life on two occasions i couldnt see a way out.

it took many years before I was finally allowed to leave. Back to the family I had once lost where I slowly built myself back up and got my life back on track again.

During this time I went through cancer, also being diagnosed with osteoarthritis, degenerative disks , sacroliatic arthritis, sciatica, poly cystic ovarian syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome , fibromyalgia , cysts on my lungs , and more recently 2 strokes.

I kept working and met my soul mate, my husband, 10 years older than me he showed me what love was supposed to be and it was ok for me to be myself , what I wanted, and that disability was ok. Both myself and my husband are also on the Autisim spectrum.

We married in Greece and moved in together then tried for a family. After 6 years we were accepted for ivf.

After one round of icsi treatment we were successful and 36 weeks later our son was born…….it was then life truly got difficult …..

Next blog coming up soon….
