“The Other” Bio
I dreamed of being a member of the press, and lead server at a diner. Trouble was, I’m born to a convicted felon and a disabled woman on the wrong side of the railroad tracks – so my only hope is… the Navy.
Except, just one problem. Well, maybe more than one depending on where we begin this story.
– Spoke my first words in public at my 11th birthday party, to learn the value of simple expression.
– Found out at 12 that my Rheumatoid Arthritis should have me in a wheelchair before 40.
– Parents move 3 states away before I turn 16. Without me.
– Turns out if your parents are disabled, you probably can be disabled too… and the Navy didn’t want any of this.
Dreams crushed and no way forward, the situation at home isn’t much better. Married, and looking to leave soon enough for an annulment – I ran away.
But he found me. And locked me in a room for 2 weeks to “make sure” I would get pregnant…
He was the last man to have his way without my consent. Not for a lack of others trying.
I simply continue, until I succeed.
