Hi, my name is Brownie I live in OH, I am a 46 y/o married mother of three wonderful (unfortunately all grown) children. my kiddos are 19, 22, and 26. boy, girl, boy respectively. I am on my second marriage to an awesome, respectful, and supportive husband. my first husband was none of those things. I went through a very destructive and emotionally damaging first marriage. so, being married to my second husband has been liberating. my second husband is very real with me and doesn't hold anything back. however, I like it because my first husband lied about everything, including loving me. I have a myriad of problems which I won't describe because you should be able to see them apparently because as my "alikes" you have the same problems I have. I have been a chronic illness warrior for 17 years. it has been a truly harrowing journey. I currently run a community for people with disabilities on Amino. the community will be 7 years at the end of this month. it has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself and apparently it has also been the best thing for quite a few other people. the community helps people communicate quite a bit like this does without the algorithm. we have a little bit more leniency I think and what we can talk about as well. I enjoy it although it can be overwhelming at times. I'm trying to get us back to where we were before as far as participation, when I first started it. we used to have stronger and better member numbers but they have been down in recent years. I hope to change that this year with better content and challenges. if you want to know more about me just ask. I enjoy reading, Star Trek, crochet, working with the members of my community and volunteering at a place that helps people get free hygiene items once a month.
