It wasn't until after we had a child together that I realized how toxic our relationship was. I had to get out of there for my mental health.

After 4 years out of my parents house, I am now living with them again, but this time I have my son with me. Finally left a bad relationship, but I don’t have the means to support myself and my son yet. After I can go to school and get a job as an LPN, I will be able to move out again.
Wow, blast from the past reading about registering my ‘87 Civic. That thing lasted as long as I needed it to, but it was towards the end of it’s life.

He’s going to fix the brakes and the exhaust for me for free and then I’ll get it insured and registered and bring it home.
