maybe
some awesome people ive met in the last 16 yrs
in uncle bill's house

i would have somehow avoided my daughters kidnap of 14 yrs- i missd all her life from 3-17 but mostly now i think because she is so screwed up because of it.

i was sposedly physically unable to have a child but against all odds, an aged partner, one time, w/ a condom
i have a brilliant 15 yr old

i dunno
no regrets

im learning my plans are never as good for me as life's road

try to do the next right thing and keep my fingers out of it

do the footwork-let go of the results

i must not regret much as im not ashamed anymore to tell any and all of my history-and according to societys standards-some of its a bit-hmmmm-inappropriate?

but its mine and its made me who i am
and the older i get the more im peaceful in this skin

thot provoking topic gilly

4. how important was family support for you in the first half of your life ?..and how did you get on with your family ?

5. did you use to idolise any famous people and base your lifestyle of fashon upon them ?

3.what else would you change ??????



My childhood wasn't really a childhood. My mother and my step father were addicted to meth. People from the outside looking in thought we had a perfect little family, for a while... Then it all got out of control. I raised my little brother who had many health problems as a child (he now does meth with my mother). So I moved out at 16 and started my "life". My real father is a VERY bad man, I don't see him anymore. My mother and brother and I talk MAYBE once a year and that's because I am trying to be nice, but I don't intend to talk to them any further.

No favorite members of the family, except for my dog, Buddy.

I would have also liked to stay single a bit more and focus on ME, figuring out who I am and what I want to do with my life. Instead I was constantly in a relationship and taking care of someone. But I have been working on myself for a while and AM OH SO READY for a relationship.

I would let the people that have crossed my path in life know that I loved them and drop the pride routine. When they are gone, it is too late.sigh

hi again !

PART 3

1. whats your daughter like mindful ? ..and how do you get on with her ?

i've got a son that i get on well with ( when i'm not living with him ) !

rolling eyes

he's just come round ...taken some money of me... and gone off again !!!

I LIKE THAT !..BECAUSE HE'S NOT ON MY WAVELENGTH ! ..HE'S ON HIS OWN WAVELENGTH !!!!

laugh rolling on the floor laughing laugh

sometimes loving people and living with people are two completely different things ( don't matter how much you want it to work out )! don't get me wrong we love each other dearly ...but not suited to live togther !

group hug

2.it sounds like you get on well with your 15 year old

yay

3. what country were you brought up in then ?

4. did you get to travel much ..and seen most of the places you wanted to see ?

conversing

gilly i appreciate your attention and interest

i thot id said plenty

its hard to share on forums sometimes
seems one can be ridiculed repeatedly for mentioning mowing or not mowing their yard

so to share that ive had any life or what some may see as success is just not worth sharing in the current climate

seems people mostly look at what others say to pick it apart and bang them on the head with it later
and then im accused after speaking out about it of playing the victim

i dont understand it but i know you know what i mean

and we shall remain until we are decided to leave amen?handshake

anyway i was a musician all my life over 20 yrs
union the whole bit
yes ive traveled alot
constantly for many years in fact
my oldest son is doing what i did
thats cool to see-he is 29 and quite amazingly successful

uncle bill is a slang for AA-a place i hang out for almost 16 yrs now-and my family was weird and i was on my own at 14

so thats a bit for now
i guess youll see this soon-ish

best to yawave

NOTHING.........


all of my experiences, pain, joy, love, and hurt have had a part in making me the man I am. I am compleaty happy with who I am so if I made any changes they would change the me I know and I wouldn't do that even if it was possible. there are some things I have learned had lessons from but I don't regret them,


live life to its fullest every day, experience all that you can in life, and when you come to the end of the road have no regrets, or wishes of things you have not done.
