Hiya (",)

My names Yvonne and im 22 years old and i live in stafford with my partner and three young children. Although im still very young i believe i have had alot of life experience. Here are some of my experiences:

-Very bad relationship with my mother

-witness my biological father beat my mother

-I was raped and abused by my step father

-Got involved in a very violent relationship for 4 years

-Spent two years in a youth hostel

-had varous cheating partners

-Suffered a short but bad marriage/divorce

-Server post natal depression with my first child

-Have been a self harmer since i was 15

As well as much more hurtful events, there is not much i havent experienced to honest.

My current relationship has been very rocky, my partner has alot of personel issues that have lead to him hurting me quite alot. I can honestly say that he is the only person i have ever truely loved and though hard work, understanding and forgiveness we have been able to build a strong loving relationship that has been though so much strain and come out the other side. We are soul mates, best friends and lovers.

I have been lower than low on numerous occasions and dispite all thats happened to me im still a very strong and determined person(thanks my partner) My aim is to help people to realise that there is always light at the end of the tunnel and you always have somethink to be greatful for.

After so many years of hurt i now have a lovely home a wonderful partner and three beautyful children, and if thats all i have at the end of my days

then i will leave a very happy womem xxxxxxxx ;)
