I was a teenage bride married to a drug dealer. Divorcing him was hard, moving on to my own life even harder, rebounding without knowledge of oneself even harder.

Upon looking back everything about that night was wrong. I had been beaten badly 3 months previously almost to death. After his trial he was convicted of attempted murder yet at the time, I received the phone call have an alibi So when my best friend asked me to go out I thought nothing of it. We went out we were fine just me & my girl.

Joe walked up to us and said you girls wanna party? Nat said sure going out to his car I was scared and yet I always looked to Nat for my survival in the cool world and I took my snort

Joe had a car phone he let me use it. It was Halloween, my friend Heather's husband had just had a vasectomy and when he answered I said I thought you could have some fun tonight but I heard you have a hollow weenie Mike said your so funny You were supposed to here where are you?

Nat took me home to my parents. Late, of course and super high.

That night my Dad said this isn't happening. So, I found myself looking for a place to live a rat hole that I could afford. I knew that I was worth so much more yet; I had resided to being an addict. Where ever the party was that was where I was too. I made friends with all the right people, supposedly.

Michelle was dating Mitch & he was a dick supposedly. The first time I saw him I thought what a screw up how can anyone be attracted to that and then Michelle freaked paranoia will destroy ya right? She left me a hateful message & her friend Tina came to my aid when my roommates robbed me of everything but a drug weighing scale.

Tina took me to Mitch's place in an effort to get back at Michelle for wrongs between them, she's like tell Mitch great I am I all for that if he can get my shit back right? So. Sitting in his living room, 2 recliners nothing more, he smiles and actually I was taken back, because his smile was beautiful. In my mind I thought Wow

He said Will you come to my room & talk to me? Apprehensive as I was Tina said He wants to talk to you about me GO! I went. Entering his room he's got Metallica posters, a pallet on the floor, and a tool box. He's lying on the floor and unfortunate for me I'm still excited about that smile because his hair was crazy. Sitting on the tool box I said So Tina likes you a lot & he pulled me towards him kissed me & I saw grandchildren & he said you'll be back for dinner right?

Dinner has become 365 for the last 16 years.
