“My heart sank into my stomach as I read those words. They were written in a letter addressed to my soon to be husband.”
‘Are you sure you want to marry her? She comes from a broken home. Her parents are divorced.’
‘We found out we were pregnant at 17. We were scared. Soon after, we were having a second. I am so grateful for my ex. I never thought I would say those words. But here I am. So grateful for my ex.’
“We had the ‘million dollar’ family. A boy, a girl, and two high school sweethearts who got married and made it through teen pregnancy. But then, we started to lose the ‘spark.'”
‘I knew something was up. She walked over to the couch, sits down, turns the TV on and I realized. It’s freaking Bachelor season.’
“It’s the grand opening. It’s like a crazy hormonal circus for married chicks. You bet your right freaking leg she can Instafollow, Snapchat and Facestalk 24 random women, working with nothing more than a first name a grid reference of 200 square miles.”
‘I was home alone one night. I was getting into bed when I took off my bra. That was when I felt it. It literally took my breath when I felt it.’
“When I was 24, I had everything. An amazing job, a home I loved, and a boyfriend I knew was going to be my husband. I couldn’t imagine life being more perfect, and at that age didn’t even think that life could take a turn. But it always does, doesn’t it?”
‘How much will it take to make this man drool?’ Prostitution sounds like an okay option. Pole dancing looks fun too. Why not? These were serious questions I was asking myself at 17.’
“My life seemed to have no worth. I tried to avoid being home at all costs. The next week I made the phone call that would change the course of my life. It was a crazy idea and I knew it.”
‘Babe there’s no way I’m going to survive this. Fire surrounds us, transformers are blowing up and the winds are fierce.’
“It only seemed like seconds when we heard the ambulance in front of us was on fire.”
‘I saw the fear in his eyes. He knew. His heart knew. His girl wasn’t ok. Both his beautiful girls were in the fight of their lives.’
“We sat there watching our beautiful, vibrant, sassy girl waste away. The shower was for sobbing. Then Kylie’s mother got an urgent phone call. The labs taken revealed something unimaginable. I held that 6-foot, 175-pound boy. I rocked him as he asked if he would lose her.”
‘He claimed he was going to leave his mark on me for my next boyfriend. I had a scar wrapping from cheek to cheek, now known as the ‘girl that had her lip bitten off.”
“I wasn’t there to get back together with him. I refused, only to feel him latch on to me. I started screaming at the top of my lungs for help and out of fear for my life.”
‘I was afraid to be alone with him. My phone records were being watched meticulously. I wasn’t allowed to work past a certain time. I felt like I brought this on because I couldn’t give him a child.’
“The final straw came on my birthday. My best friend told me my husband had tried to sleep with her while he was drunk. I was in a daze for months.”
‘To all the men with daughters, you need to love your WIFE as you want your DAUGHTER to be loved.’
“Your daughter more than loves her mother; she is enthralled with her. Mothers and their daughters tend to live a parallel life. Your relationship with your wife is about SO much more than just you and her.”
