In Her Own Words

To all my dear friends and those who support me;
Where do I start?
My life has been chaotic since I can remember. When I was 3 years old my mother was searching for shelter and comfort in Kiryas Joel and married my step father. I grew up in a community that is closed to the outside world. When I turned 17 my parents decided who I would marry. So I did.
Being that most of my family, if not all, are not frum, some not religious, I always had questions in my mind of where I belong and what path to take in life.

After marriage things did not work out with my husband and we decided to get divorced. I opened my eyes to a world that I never knew about, a world that most of my family has been in, and tried to leave the place that I knew as a child to start something new.
Some people are misjudging the decisions I made after leaving Kiryas Joel. Please understand. My vision was blurry by the vast opportunities in the outside world and my limited understanding of right and wrong was not clear to me. At the same time, my love and care for my daughter was always there and remains unconditional.
Living alone with a child in my hand was not easy.Trying to make the best of friends, finding the right people to support me, looking for direction and guidance, nothing came easily.
My heart was always with my daughter. I always loved her, and did all I can as a mother. Being a single mother in a world where you have no path is not easy. I did all I could in my new role, living in a new world, trying to survive.
To question my deep love for my daughter is beyond me. All I have done in the last few years was for my daughter’s good. I always have and will always do everything in my power to fight for her, to support her as a loving mother.
I am here for my daughters sake.

I am here to survive.

I am here to live my life the way I choose.

I am here because finding support coming from where I come from is not easy.

I am here to tell my friends and supporters that I need your support.

I need to know that people are hearing me, understanding me and maybe feeling what I feel.
In the last few years I learned some hard lessons in life, all while becoming independent, learning lessons I never had to know before I was married. My eyes opened up to some good things and some bad things. Making choices was difficult.
I would like thank you for visiting, for those showing me support.

I appreciate it with all my heart, and may God be with you.

Thanks again to all my friends and supporters.

I have been busy responding to emails, preparing for court, and many other things, I appreciate all that support me and write to me, for those who want to bash me, or just speak their dirty minds, sorry this is not the place, sadly there is enough places for that.
I will keep you all posted.

Best Regards
