Surviving Evil

      Well I am back.  Its been a busy and overwhelming couple weeks between my husband and my Birth mom passing.  We had her viewing this past Sunday before she was to be cremated.  She is no longer suffering and will be missed by many.   So before I got off track on my blogs we were talking about me wanting to leave the women's shelter and my mom coming to get me.  I stayed with mom for a while after leaving the shelter.  I still had so many problems and was still having to have bandage changes every few days.  My mom said I had night terrors too.  She said I would start screaming and fighting.  I was so happy to be back with my family although I was really missing my girls.  We had supervised visits at the CPS office and they gave me a list of what I had to do.  I had no vehicle so a teacher I had in high school that heard what happened and her church got me a Lincoln Town Car.  It was a used one but it w...

                                                                             March 2021      Sorry I haven't posted a new blog in a bit.  I have had a lot going on.  Tonight I am gonna stay from my story and give ya'll an update on me and what's been going on.  I have been having GI issues since I had my gallbladder out in 2019 so i had to have a colonoscopy to see what was going on.  The doctor came back and said I have Chronic Colitis so they put me on 3 weeks of steroids.   I have a follow up appointment with them next week.  My husband Bill had back surgery on March 10th.  He had a lamanectomy.  So they removed a vertebrae and shaved the one above and below.  Back in the 90's he fell off a scaffolding at work and messed his bac...

 So mom came and picked me up from the shelter and took me to her place.  I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulder.  On the way home from Tyler we stopped at Dairy Queen to eat with my sister and her kids.  I think that was one of the craziest things that all my nieces and nephews were teenagers basically.  The last time I had seen them they were just small children.  They had grown so much.      I am gonna back track here for a brief moment.   My thoughts are kinda scattered today so I am gonna touch on a few things.  Another event that was completely heartbreaking was the passing of my dad.  I don't know if I said before that my brothers, sisters, and I were adopted at a young age due to sexual abuse and neglect.  Robert and Sue Boyd took all of us in and adopted us as a family so we didn't get separated. Well in 2011 I got a call from my biological family that they heard my dad was terribly sick and it didn'...

      So I was in the hospital for 21 days after I escaped from Josh.  CPS stepped in and took my girls and placed them in foster care while things were being investigated.  While I was in the hospital a woman named Carla came to see me.  She was from the East Texas Crisis Center and wanted me to come stay in a women's shelter when I discharged from the hospital.  She came to see me almost everyday.   She was  always asking if I needed anything.   I asked her for makeup and nail polish and girly items.  See for years Josh did not allow me to paint my nails, fix my hair, wear makeup, or do anything that made me feel pretty.  My sister Heidi came in and painted my nails for me and helped me do my makeup.  I had to have a surgery to have drains put in my legs to drain the fluid off and I asked my doctor if he would shave my legs for me.  Josh didn't allow me to do that either.  When I came back from surger...
