In this essay I am going to be telling you about my personal experience on how I dated the wrong man I will be telling about how I was introduced to him and what lead to our relationship what went on in the relationship and how I wasn’t aware of the wrong signs .What I did once I became aware that I was with the wrong man and how I got the strength to get up and walk away with a clean slate and if I would have stayed my life would have been at risk .The summer of 2012 I attended church service to see the same similar crowd I noticed a new face so I introduced myself to this lady by the name of Karen she seemed so unapproachable for some reason ?.As time progressed I would see Miss Karen at church and we would make small talk one day we eventually exchanged numbers to discuss things about church and what we might have missed if one of us didn’t make it to service during our conversations she would always mention her son to me .I would always brush it off because I didn’t have an interest in dating her son who I never met .Three months later Miss Karen invited me over her house where I eventually met her son Joe she introduced us and suggested that we should exchange numbers so we did .Me and Joe would talk on the phone and hang out from time to time we began to get to know one another on a personal level as time progressed like any other relationship I was on cloud nine. A month into the relationship Joe received news from his ex-girlfriend that she was with child (pregnant) .Joe admitted to the possibility that the child could be his but he didn’t want any relations with the mother so I stayed in the relationship with him so he could get a DNA test.

We are the result of my father’s third marriage, the only offspring he is aware of. He has been married seven times to date, the latest one has been the longest lasting, their twentieth anniversary was a few days ago. He made it quite clear when he came in one morning with Carol, my now step-mother of twenty years, that he was going to make this one work no matter what it took.

My father was a feature photographer for WMAR Channel 2, where I spent a good portion of my time at playing on the editing room floor and…

    Ever since my daughter Rachel’s death, I feel as if it has been drifting away my 30 year marriage with Franklin. I have myself to blame because, a week after her funeral I ordered a gravestone with mine and Franklins names and birthdays next to hers without discussing it with him first. At first I thought Rachel was just depressed like any other teenager at her age; however, I was unaware that the boy Rachel was talking to for the past months she met online. It all began May 18, 2005 Rachel was sixteen; we lived in a small suburb in Illinois. Rachel was a great student, always involved in school, was an athlete, and was always home by 8pm. That afternoon after she got out of school she asked me for permission to go to the mall with her girlfriends to just talk. Rachel was actually going to the mall to meet up with Kevin; Kevin was her online boyfriend. She was going to meet him for the first time in person after months talking to him online. Rachel was unaware of how dangerous and easy it can be for someone to pretend to be someone else online. She then found out that Kevin wasn’t the seventeen year old he claimed to be, he was actually twenty-five and the opposite of what he said he was. He offered her to still go on their date that they had planned for months, she gave him a chance because she was scared and forced to get in the car with him. Week by week Rachel started talking back to us, would always want time alone; she became a rebel and would never ask for permission. Frank and I were unaware of what was going on and decided to just give her some space and that when she would decide to; she would talk to us on her own. One night I woke up to a noise I heard in the living room as I was walking I saw Rachel sneaking out the house and realized she got in the car with an older man. My husband was asleep so I decided to go get her and bring her home before he found out about her sneaking out. They were parked about two houses away and…

    My life as a teenager would soon be coming to an end and my life as mommy would be coming up faster then expected. It all started June 10th 2012, my family and I had just finished eating our dinner celebrating my achievement of getting my GED. I had received cards, gifts, and even some money from my family members for finally receiving this GED after being out of school for my senior year. Everybody was so happy for me even my dad, which was not a very common emotion for him to express towards me. Unfortunately their happiness would soon be long gone. For it was the night before this that I had five different tests all of which said the same thing in different ways, I was pregnant. I was not ready for this kind of responsibility. I was not ready physically, emotionally, and financially to take care of even myself yet now I had to find a way to provide all of those things for a child. I was only seventeen, turning eighteen in July; I was still a child myself. To many people I would be viewed as a delinquent because of getting pregnant. On the other hand, others might have seen this coming since my mom also had me at a young age. Many also believe all teens who get pregnant will fail. Although these beliefs and views from others were in my head at the time, I knew I needed to tell my family I was pregnant, find out how far along I was, and make a life changing decision.…
