In My Own Words

I am a 40 yr old Wife & Mom of Five and I live in Manchester, NH and have all my life pretty much. I am on disability because of several Medical issues so I am a stay at home Mom. I have 3 Boys ages 20, 17, and 7 yrs old And 2 Girls ages 15 and 13 yrs old ( all from my 1st Marriage except the 7 yr old )and a step daughter age 12. All fun ages ...lol. My Oldest the 21 yr old moved to NC last June with his girl and they are going to school out there and he works full time as well...I miss him sooooo much ! and My 18 yr old he attends Jolicoeur school here in Manchester, he has an IEP and is coded Emotionally handicapped he has sevearal issues and can be a handful but has a really big heart he was with Dad but, living with me over last month and i have been fighting state for guardianship over him cause Dad went behind my back and tried to give it up to them ! And then theres my 15 yr old daughter who attends West High and going to be a Sophmore and boy is this a challenging age, Phew !! BOY being the key word...lol if ya know what I mean. She was having some struggles with maintaining some grades, I think cause she was told to take level 2 classes and it just wasnt for her in some subjects and have since adjusted this and she mad Honor Roll...YEAH !! and she lives with Me. Then theres my 13 yr old Daughter BOY another challenging age....lol You follow ?....lol She attends Parkside Middle School going in the 8th Grade and does pretty well she's an Honor roll student and very Book smart...but not so much street but were working on that...lol she also lives with Me. Next is my 12 yr old stepdaughter she also currently has moved to her Moms house and and will be attending Hillside for 8th Garde and she is a High Honor Roll student, anothe BOY crazy teen girl...lol and she tends to be more a follower and craves alot of attention but she has been through alot. Me & her Dad are still together now but things have been rocky ( My Husband has been in and out of Jail and then a 15 mo drug and alcohol program and still struggles with his addictions ) and she has expressed she wants to live with her Mom so I am not sure where thats going yet. Lastly but never least is the youngest ( the Baby ) he is 7 yrs old and he goes to Gossler Elementary and is in the 2nd Grade he was diagnosed ADHD with anxiety, sleeping disorder, and depression about a year ago and he struggles everyday and takes Medication , Homework is a stressful time usually for him so I have to be Creative hes very smart he just strugggles with the attention span constantly and it often cause behavioral issues wich he goes to couseling for and of course he lives with Me. We are all born again Christians and proud of it :)

Parents I'd Like to Meet

Well I think my introduction pretty much explains this but I guess I would have to say Parent support and make new friends meeting other Parents with similar issues to help each other and of course help our kids. Thank you & God Bless ;)
