She dated her boyfriend during college, after college moved in with him, found work and lived her daily life. By 1988 she was married and had a son....And there it started... her life of “happy ever after” changed ... in fact it actually already changed when she went into labour with her son .... her then husband barely made it in time for the birth and the next day there she was..... A new mother waiting for her husband to come visit and see his son. Morning went by.... lunchtime came and went.... tea time came and went and finally after supper time – there he was. Where was he? Oh, he had been out partying....That was the beginning of the end .... He started drinking, gambling and the arguments eventually were a part of daily life ....there were times he did not come home after an evening out .... she was always left alone with the baby .....eventually she had enough ....by February 1990 she was divorced, 23 years old with a son of 18months old.....
For four years after the divorce she tried to claim maintenance for her son .... the endless hassle with attorneys and sitting in court rooms waiting for her ex-husband to show up .... she eventually gave up the fight .... she accepted she would have to raise her son on her own....
