I’m on medication, under the care of a psychiatrist and therapist and I’ve gone to my doctor appts. and taken my medication as directed.

See, Aiyana, I’ve been trying to prove the “Old Maid” awarders wrong since high school. I had a failed marriage of 1.5 years. I was engaged again a couple of years ago and he got jealous and assaulted me because I was gone for 2 hours longer than I said I’d be.

I have no way out of my situation with my Mom. My sister and brother-in-law bought this house for us to live in. Mom and I have tried to live together twice before and the same issues were there. I have no other family and nowhere I can afford to move to so that’s why I want to move on to another place altogether.

Things get better, huh? Well I’ve been trying for years to have things get better. I’ve had the dangled carrot in front of my face all my life. Something always interferes with my progress. I get admitted to an art gallery, then they go out of business right before my artwork is going in. This happened to me twice. I get a small bit of hope dangled in front of me and I end up with nothing. Even my brother-in-law has told me I have the worst luck of anyone he knows.
