Those few years were very hard, especially on my own. Finally, I realized in the end all you can really count on is your family and now we are closer than ever. My mother once told me the best thing she ever did was not listen to her parents and get her degree and I intend to do the
Before this incident, my parents were having many problems but this one topped it off. My mother was forced to get a restraining order and from there on they remained separated. To this day my mother has filed for divorce, and that continues to be in process. My whole life before May 16th 2010 was a life of being scared. I lived being scared because I never knew if my Father was to come home and then I and my brother would have to sit through their fights.
First off, go away and don’t whisper” (Abcarian, 1169) Granny said this because she thought that Cornelia and Dr.Harry were talking about her behind her back. Although jilted at the altar, granny Weatherall still held the love she felt for George this was shown with her first child who she named George. From this past experience granny Weatherall never allowed herself to love someone with such profundity as she once did. “Love was denied Granny the day she was jilted and she herself never dared to love. But without love Granny’s radically human hurt was never healed.”(Unre, 108) At the age of forty, Granny Weatherall suffered of a second life changing jilting when her husband John died.
I did begin loosing weight, which generated in me the greatest appeasement, but I would always recoup that weight, and because of that my mother never managed to perceive anything. I was consumed with the visualization of being tiny and being just like other young girls my age. I was in love with the concept of being “perfect.” At this point in my life, I thought my weight was the most insoluble thing I would have to tackle, but little did I know how early I had spoken. In fourth grade, I noticed drastic alterations in my personal life. My father became more and more withdrawn from my mother, sister, brother, and I. I was naïve and ingenuous at the time, and didn’t
So now, we are back in the same town as my father and brother, as my parents promised the day they told us they were getting a divorce. Over the years, it was not easy to cope with my parents divorce, but it made me a stronger individual. Now that I am married and have children of my own, I reflect back to my childhood. I do not want to put my children through the trauma of going through a divorce. Going through a divorce as a child, I know what it was like being separated from the rest of your family.
I was so depressed and hated life; in front of my children I would have a fake smile. One day I woke up and said enough is enough I have let to many people abuse me take advantage of my kindness and now my self-worth “NO MORE!” So I looked into going back to school and making a better future for me and my children, so here I am getting my BA in Social and Criminal
My name is Shannon Beddome. I live in Waukesha, Wisconsin for about the past 9 years. I was born in the spring of 1981 to a mother who was ill prepared and at time incapable of raising a child. My mother was married to a man who wanted to live the "single life" rather then being a father and husband. He tossed us out when I was a couple of months old.
I was real nervous when I heard this because I was only a sophomore and my coach had unreal expectations of me. The season flew by and it seemed as if we lost every game. We had another horrible season but it didn’t mean much to me since I was only a sophomore. After that season is when I realized that my whole life I was never on a winning team. I knew that my teammates and I had to work harder during the off-season if we wanted to start winning
I felt like they all tried to intimidate us about junior high school. Always reminding us that we are “up a creak without a paddle” trying to make us work harder. I also didn’t enjoy class because of the environment; our freedom was restricted due to the bubble of protection around us. Thinking about it now I feel as though the staff was over bearing trying to mature us to quickly. Overall middle school was the worst two years of my life.
We, always moved every year anyway. Due to my mother street life. (bars & prostitution) Though, for some reason this made them (siblings) all mad at me for having to move this time. Didn't help matters any, he got out of jail and found where we lived to break in and go back into jail. I agreed to marry a childhood friend that had went into the Army when I got into high school.
