How were you raised?

I had both a mother and father.....a brother 4 years older than me...and another older brother who I did not meet until I was 11.

My parents got a divorce when I was young and then remarried later on but it still was never right...my mom would always find something to complain about.

I grew up in a trailer park.....never really had much......but my dad always wanted to make sure we had it a little better than he did growing up so he would always try to get us the cool toys when he could lol.

my dad was a jack of all trades and did everything automotive,pluming,electrical,construction....you name it.

until after being a deisel mechanic for years and years he was working on an engine and the shop had faulty equipment and the engine dropped on him and broke his back.

I was in the hospital for about the first 4 years of my life....I was born with a the cord around my neck and I had very bad asthma and I had to live in an oxygen tent.

when I was about 12 I had a very bad four wheeler accident ....head on crash with another four wheeler and we were each doing a minimum of 35 miles per hour.....I badly bruised my legs,ripped muscles in my back in half.....and I thumped my head.....I was wearing a helmet but it still rattled me.

from then on I was having problems and doctors used me as a guinea pig with medication for years ....which in turn made things worse and I had a rough couple of years.....(long story).

anyhow.....years later when I started getting better I meant the girl of my dreams....we were together for a year and then split because she wanted to join the marines...... a year later she came back and we talked about things and decided to get back togeather.....a year after that we found out were were having our son.......we have been together 6 years since then and life is great.

I havnt spoke with my mother for about 2 years now.....her and my father decided to get a divorce again and when they did ...she went loopy and did and said alot of unforgivable things and decided pretty much if her ship was going down that everyone else was going down with it.

not exactly a how I was raised story as much as it is a life story lol...sorry if its to long.

wasnt exactly perfect all the time but in the end I have a great family with alot of people who care about me and who I care about too.
