I had all of this until I turned 35 and had a partial hysterectomy. Best thing that EVER happened to me. I have been where you are. Foster care, public assistance, teen mom, but your child will get older, life will get easier and you can then begin to focus a little more on yourself. It gets better for a few years… then teen thing happens (ugh). In any event, you’re not alone.

Aretha Franklin had her first child at 12. She had two kids by the age of 15. Look at the testament of her life. You can do this. You’ve inspired me. You have lots to offer. Write that book and get it on Kindle/Amazon. You’re so genuine and gritty. People need to hear what you have to say. I love it!
