“Paths in my life of autoimmune disease, abuse, divorce, homeschooling, single parenthood, and healing myself from things I didn’t realize I had suffered has been full of ups and downs. Writing has gotten me through it, and I gained so much comfort in reading others experiences. When my son was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease I read a blog of mother who’s child had the same disease, and it made me not feel alone. When I was in abusive marriage, I read blogs of women that had the courage to leave, and it inspired me. I hope my words can reach someone who needs it just as others words helped me.
