I am 24 year old single mother of two beautiful children. I have a 3 year old daughter and a two year old son. I recently got out of 6 year relationship with a person who treated me in ways no human should ever treat another human being. I have learned a lot and hope to share it to help others. At the same time I have a lot to learn and use this site as a source of insight into other peoples' minds and hearts. I'm always open, so if you want to you can private message me also. :)
