Has anyone ever wondered that if they told their whole life story nobody would believe them because it would sound fictional?? Mine doesn't seem to me to be that bad until I start discussing topics to different people. I guess I have been throuh so much that it seems sort of unreal. I just wonder if anyone else feels this way? I moved in with my first "real boyfriend" when I was 14, he was abusive, manipulative, and somewhat psychotic, but my parents let me. I ended up having a miscarriage of TWINS!! by the time I was 15. I later broke up with him only to get pregnant at 18 by my high school sweetheart. When I was 4 months pregnant with him, I found out my mom had cancer and had to be fed by a feeding tube, and I was the only one she let feed her. I was still feeding her through the tube when my son was a newborn. It was HARD!! Luckily, the chemo and radiation got her through it only to later find out I was pregnant AGAIN!! I got in a horrible car accident when I was 3 months pregnant. (luckily my son was OK) After that my brother got stabbed and is STILL in a vegetative state that he will never come out of. My grandma died the same week my cousin was shot by his own brother in law and my youngest son was diagnosed with reactive airway disease. (he's 19 months now) There is just SO much more to my life story but doesn't that even seem a little much? Is it weird to feel like no one will believe me if I even started to tell them?? Please let me know how you feel!

Wow, I commend you for keeping it all together and being a good mum to your children.
You and your family have certainly been through a lot. I understand that you might feel as though people wouldn't believe you if you told them all of this! You wouldn't exactly go right out and just drop it all into a 5 minute conversation. At the same time, it helps a lot to talk about it with people. Sharing is caring!
Your story could definitely be made into a book or a film. It seems that you had to grow up very quickly and take on a lot of responsibility.
Like the saying goes 'everyone has a story.' I don't think the lives of 'average' people should be overlooked and deemed as boring or uneventful.

I have always thought that if I wrote my life story everyone would think that they were ready fiction, but it doesn't touch the things that you wrote here. I have had some unusual things going on in my life and just wrote on another discussion that I would like to write a book one day about my life. I think that you should make sure that you keep journals of what has happened so far, if you haven't already, and continue to keep them, and one day you should write a book, or get someone else to write it for you. Whether anyone believes it or not wouldn't be important, but that you'd have it written down would be so cool and you'd know that it was the truth. I hope that things go better for you in the future!

Wow, and you still have about 50-60 years left to go! I hope your life settles down but doesn't become boring. How can it, with a beautiful son? They're a real trip, I love raising boys!
My life has had a lot of unbelievable stuff, too. It'd make a terrific soap opera. I definitely haven't been bored!

I think that someone with this much to tell should really capitalize off of that. I'd say write a book about your trials and triumphs, and tell the world what got you through it all. Try to get it published before something else bad happens too. He he.

We all have our stories that no one wants to believe. For some reason on earth or another. I remember most of those days. Remember Easter that one year. That was a rough night. But no one really wants to believe us about that night. lol
