This blog post will give you a background of my family for you to be able to understand my future blogs. Here it goes, I hope you enjoy learning about a crazy strangers family haha.

My mom married her first husband after high school. She married a guy named Wayne. During their marraige they had two daughters. Kristin(the eldest she is 27) and Melissa(second eldest she is 25). A couple years after Melissa was born my mom and Wayne divorced. Years after Wayne married a woman named Geri, who had a son from her previous marriage, his name is Tyler and he is one year younger than Melissa. Kristin, Melissa grew a bond with Tyler and called that bond family, to this very day he is a beloved brother. Years later Wayne and Geri had a daughter named Whitney(Whit). A year after her birth my mom married my father, Brandon. During that time my twin sister, Brianne and I were born. She is two minutes older than me and she still makes sure I don't forget it. Since Whit and I shared the same sisters we spent a lot of time together. She would come to my family functions and I would go to hers, and since we were only two years apart we became very close friends. I am very close to her parents and she is close to mine. So, basically its like two families merged into one, if that makes any sense. We grew up the best of friends. But when I was three my mom divorced my dad and when I was 8 she remarried to an African-American man named Jeff. During their marraige they had my milk chocolate little twin sisters who I absolutley adore!! Those two little bundles of joy were named Alexys and Ciara. My mom was married to Jeff for 6 years and during that time we all suffered mental abuse from him. He would call my sister and I fat and worthless. Finally my mom got up the courage in the kicthen on a summer day when he hit her and threw her on the ground. She hit the oven and something sharpe severley scrapped her back and left it bruised for weeks. That day was the day the modern day version of Attila the Hun (my mental abuser) moved out and I was relieved from pain and became myself again.
Its been 5 years with him gone and my mom has found the guy of her dreams who accepts her past, embraces her present and encourages her future. And I can honestly say that life is going well.
Thank You for reading my family story haha I hope you enjoyed.
