Hi guys, I really hope I can help you. I have had a lot of hardships in my life, from being bullied for several years, to being beaten by my mother and brother, to My ex cheating on me several times. I have had depression, suicidal tendancies and many other tough experiances to name but a few. Im only 28 years old, but I have an old head on young shoulders.

I tend to put everyone else before me, and The things that make me the most happy are.

Seeing someone smile, be they stranger or family.

Making my four children happy in any way possable, without spoiling them in any way, or treating them any differently to one another.

Knowing that my third child who is physically disabled is as happy as any normal child could be.

Helping someone through a tough time, especially if it is something I have been through myself, knowing I never had help but desperatly needed it.

Knowing I have made someone happy.

Helping people.

Making my husband happy.

I live in south wales, however I havent always lived here, I have previouly lived in several locations accross mid and south England. Most of my ancesters are scotts. my husband is half welsh half dutch, though he argues (as all welsh do :D) that he is welsh.

If I can help you in any way. I will. be safe and may happiness be in your life soon xxx issy xxx
