When I ran away at 14 years old I don't believe I was looking to fall in love,but I did. What I really did not expect was to be hurt so badly by him. After having my first child at the age of 16 and giving her up for adoption I still loved Darryl very much. So much that a month later I was pregnant again. When I was 8 months pregnant with our third child he married someone else. I was so hurt but I still named our first son after him. I kept hanging on thinking he would come back to me. But that never happened. I would lay awake at night crying for him to love me. After I had given birth to 4 children by Darryl he married again. It took me 15 years to get over Darryl and the last five years to fall in love with someone who really loved me. I actually had to pick up and leave. I moved to another state and it still took me 3 years to let go of Darryl and move on with my life. I had to move on for our children. Darryl never helped support our children or be in their lives. He had 5 children by his second wife and never had any support for our 4 children. But by letting go of Darryl I was able to get off of welfare and do something with my life. I was finally able to care about myself and be proud of my family. I met Richard and realized that a man could love me and care about me for me. He is a wonderful man and he helped me raise my 4 children. I am very happy to say that our children are grown and we have been married for 17 years. I only wish I could have seen that Darryl did not love me sooner than I did. I don't reget having my children because I love them very much. I know that starting an adult life at a young age has taught me a lot about life. I am proud to say that I did get my G.E.D. and my driver's license at the age of 27. Better late than never is what I say. I chose two bad relationships before I found the man who really loves and cares about me. Richard and I got married on April 6,1990.
