My Story continued...

In mine and Chris's life together we went through alot of trials but I knew we would be just fine. I believed in him and us. I have struggled with depression for years but in 2007 I went through a major depression. I didn't want to leave our house. I stayed home or should I say in bed all day. It worked out that Chris was able to take our 4 children to school before work so all I had to do is make it out of bed to pick them up. Sounds like an easy thing to do but for me it wasn't. I had major anxiety attacks every time I would even get near the front door to leave. There were times I had to call Chris at work just to talk me out of the house. I would pick up our children and go straight home. I didn't really talk to anyone and when we got home I went back to my room and got in bed. The kids would come to my room to get help with home work. I would fix dinner before Chris came home and then as soon as I had served him and the kids dinner I would go back to my room. He was very supportive to me. After some time he convienced me to go to the doctor and get some medication. I did and after some time I started to feel better.

On July18, 2007 we celebrated our 4th anniversary. For our anniversary we moved into a house in Rogue River. It was awesome. We had a large yard for the kids. We had a garage and a shop for Chris. We couldn't of asked for more. We had finally made it to were we weren't getting housing assistance. It was a major step. Chris had a good job and I was able to stay home and work around the house.

Then the day came that changed my life forever. Chris said he wanted to seperate. That he needed space. My perfect litlle family was about to be no more. It came out of nowhere. Just hearing those works took my breath away. How could this be? After everything our family had been through and now he wants space.

It has been over a year now and we are still seperated. All my hopes and dreams were shattered when Chris took my family away. He killed apart of me. I have filed for divorce and am hoping as time passes I will heal and find myself whole again. I am trying to make a good life for my 2 beautiful children.
