Reply #159: I'm 48 And I Have A 26, 23, 21 & 6 Year Old

Two boys and two girls. Peyton was a complete shock and I almost aborted her. Her father turned out to be a narcissistic sociopath and I just started feeling it (without any proof) when I conceived her.

Something made me keep the baby even though I was terrified of the hell I knew was coming with and from her father. In the end I had to flee him with my hair on fire and I am starting over now at age 48 and it has really fucked up my head & heart. Peyton is the one thing that keeps me going these days. Ben Callie and Ian all help but they are young adults and have their own lives, plus Ben is in Wisconsin, Callie is in MN (a recent grad from Madison), Ian goes to George Mason, and I am in CA.

Thank you for your kind words. I put my career and life on the back burner for these kids and I'm glad to see somebody recognizes that. It is so much work, but what else are we gonna do with all the love these children make in our hearts? Peace to you and your family friend.
