Did you ever give up on something andlearned a lesson?What did you learn?
I did not go out on a first date till I was 18. I never got to do the things a 'normal' teenager does. I was mentally and physically abused growing up. My life consisted of school, cleaning and church. So, when I got out on my own at 20 I went hog-wild!! I thought I could find love by giving a guy whatever he wanted (if you know what I mean). I gave up myself looking for myself. I had my first child at 21. I love him but I learned I had to love myself before anyone else would.
I am working on a layout intitled "I want to know what love is" in dedication to my son. The lyrics remind me so much of my childhood and past. I did find someone to love me and that was my son. {PHOTO ABOVE}

Sometimes we have to learn the hard way. I'm glad you were able to move forward and not get stuck in that "cycle".
You have a very handsome son!! Learning to love yourself is a very hard to for us humans to do.
I so understand where you are coming from. Dont get me wrong. I did do the "NORMAL" teenage thing, but I went hog wild also, once my parents split and my dad started to date this child (no she isnt a woman she is 2yrs younger then my dad though!) and she started to brain wash him. For the second time in my life another parent choose their b/f g/f over their own kids. My so call mom was worse then my dad. Anyways~ I do had my first child at 20 and he was the one who taught me from day one, that I have to love myself before I could be ready to give love to a child. So I do cherish him alot. As well as his brother and sister. I also have to hand it to my kids and their dad. Every time I felt I wasnt doing my part, they reminded that they will love me and I got to love myself.
i think rebelliousness and making mistakes end up providing us with the most growth and empathy for others...thank you for sharing from your life...
Everything we do, there is a lesson for us to learn to put us on the right path.
First of all you have a real handsome son!!!!!
I am so happy that you were able to get out of the cycle that you were in and you sound such a fun and cool person to be around!
