Hi all you brave, hard working lot!

God it's hard isn't it? Really hard. Harder than I ever could have even begun to contemplate.
When I was a little girl and I thought about my future I always imagined meeting the perfect guy, getting married, a house, making kids together and bringing them up in an affectionate but disciplined way. If you'd of told me that at 25 I would be with a man with 9 and 6 year old daughters, a psychotic ex and all the cr*p that comes with it I would have laughed....or cried.
