A Story m4w
There once was a Man. A good, kind, respectful man. All he wanted to do was to be happy and make others happy.
Back Story:
This man was born to a single mother who had various issues in the small town of Port Huron, Michigan. Until he was three months old he has lived in numerous locations in that town including the burnt out shell of a car.
His Grandmother had finally talked some sense into his mother and had let take care of him for a time being. During that time he wise grandmother had found him a very nice family who was kind enough to be willing to adopt him as one of there own. Alas his mother had caught wind of this and took him from his grandmothers caring grasp and fled to Florida where she continued to use and those.
His grandmother being the Saint that she was found a way to convince her employer to transfer down to Florida to continue doing her best for this.
Fast forward 4 and a half years or so, uncountable homes in different states, and untold amount of fights, feuds, and family drama, they all arrive in Pittsburgh, PA. The still living with his mother and the grandmother doing everything she can to help.
One morning he wakes up to go to school to find his mother will not wake up to send him off. She is alive but unresponsive. At this point this five year old has just taught himself how to make scrambled eggs. He began to learn how to survive in that toxic environment and unknowingly started to become self dependent.
By the time he was 6 he was finally living with his grandmother who sweet housewives seeking sex personals dating successful women took the best care of him as she could. Mind you she was 48 years old at this point. At this point she had finally convinced his mother to let her adopt him.
When he was only years old hes loving grandmother was hit by a car. The damage from the vehicle was as small as an injured foot but the fall from it had ended in a few spinal fusions and a bunch more complications from the neck down.
When she had finally come home from Her surgerys it was up to him to take care of her and the house. He had done everything from hand scrubbing the kitchen floors to re packing her open wounds. He helped her get dressed and did the laundry. Minus food shopping and paying he was doing everything the best he could all the while going to school and doing his home work. There were points in time when there were cleaning people when money allowed it. But still things had to be done and he was usually the one to do it.
Fast forward again to present day:
He is now going through a divorce. He has left his wife in the hopes to find happiness elsewhere. He has two and a third almost here. He has learned valuable lessons through out his life to know that he is a loving, caring, kind, hard working man, yet he doubts himself from time to time wondering if all this has happened due to where hes been and what hes gone through. The only thing he wants in life is to be happy. He wants to make others happy. He loves his more then anything in the world and wants nothing more then to make sure that they dont have a life even closely resembling his own. He makes it a priority everyday to see his and wishes only happiness for them.
He works hard to make sure they are taken care of.
What will happen when the new comes? What will happen to when it comes to custody and both parents deserve to have the.Will he be able to have them. Will he be able to share? Will he be able to teach them how to be respectful and honest and loyal. Will he be able to show them that happiness comes from within?
I am that man. But who am I? I dont know. I have never really had the opportunity to find myself. To make goals and learn how to be the best person I can be. I am stuck in a stand still between the past and the future reaching out for what ever maybe out there. But should I? Is this the time I find my own way and figure all this out on my own terms. Try and make a path that is for myself and for my future? Will I find love in another person other then the undying love I have for my?
Well I have said all I have needed. This posting is not meant for responses. It is me talking my feelings out and hoping that perhaps those who may read this can find some peace in there lives in knowing that they are not alone and that the struggle is real.
I bid you all a fare well and may you all have a wonderful tomorrow!
