You provided an interesting and wise observation of why and how your relationship changed with C. As he taught you things, he lost respect for you as his woman, and began criticizing you. it's good you had your baby to love and care for. This time, when you threw up, I'm sure you knew what was happening.

You have certainly faced up with courage throughout your life, out of necessity.
We all blunder through those early days of motherhood, I feel but the important thing is your love for your son. I hope your relocation is going smoothly for you Lea.
cheers,

Your posts are always interesting, well written, honest and packed with life Lea. Another fine chapter about your journey in life and how you learned from your first relationship and matured so much that you grew apart and moved on. A joy to read about your journey, love Dolly x

This chapter points out how much you enjoyed having a baby and being a mother. The emphasis also seems to be on learning: how to take care of a baby, how to get along in life, how to adjust to someone becoming distant due to cheating, how to get used to a new person in your life.
Little fixes:
his small wifts of hair
his small wisps of hair
He was tall, muscular, dark curly hair and green eyes. Resembling a man who lives in the woods. Strong man, nine years older than me.
Maybe try it like this:
He was tall and muscular, with dark curly hair and green eyes. Resembling a man who lives in the woods, he was a strong man, nine years older than I was.
We did many things together as a trio while him and I grew closer as adults.

I am so happy for you Lea, especially for saying you can leave all that behind you now, and you won't let it undermine your life anymore. You've left it in the hands of the authorities, and you've allowed yourself to move on. You've moved to an idyllic place that you've admired for so long, and you no longer have to remain in a rat-infested house near those who brought you so much grief in your life.
It's certainly understandable that you made a number of mistakes and character judgments in your younger years; you had no good models to follow and no real understanding of people and their foibles. It's great that you and C. were able to part amiably and had a few good years with him and brought a child into the world together. I hope it was the same with this new guy, as it doesn't sound like it lasted.
Write and post when you can; we will eagerly await the next installment of this fascinating story of your life. - Jim

I've missed your writing but assumed that you were busy, in transit or whatever. It's such an odd feeling reading your story because I feel I know you better than your adult self (which of course I probably do:)) and these pregnancy events make me want to congratulate you. I think it's fascinating what you say about being the daughter in the relationship. I wonder how many other women might feel that way. The difference is that you've come a long way now from that role and see the warning signs. One thing you won't be doing is repeating mistakes. It may be short but I'm right back with you in an instant. Some small edits:"We were (a) happy little family"; "(begun - after 'had' at the beginning of the sentence) to work for the railroad; "(with) dark curly hair" "while (he) and I grew closer as adults. An excellent post, Lea! Good luck with your move and hope the foot is better. Debbie xos

Hello Lea,
wow, your first born was a big boy. My wife had seven kids, five girls and twin boys, but none of them were over seven pounds I don't think.
It's good to hear that you got some education and a job that should have paid decent. I kind of wish that you had met your next boyfriend under a bit different circumstances, but you can't change the past.
Moving is a major pain. One nice thing is that it gives you an opportunity to clear out a lot of stuff that you don't need anymore. I hope it goes well for you. As you mentioned, it's both scary and exciting, like all major events in our lives. Drive carefully and arrive at your new home safe and sound. We'll see ya when you write again.
Blessings,
Tom

Sounds like you're pregnant again. It does happen. I hope this man is a good father and will stay around a while. Maybe? We'll see. Thank you for sharing this with us.
He too changed and grew distant from me. (He, too, changed)
