Why Private??

A lot of things have led up to me going private. First, I was averaging 100 hits a day and only 6 comments (if that). I started to get a little wierded out not knowing who was looking and my situation is different than most. To give you a little background.... As you all know I am raising my sister and brother. They are the BEST kids and I am so grateful to be in the position to take on this HUGE and SPECIAL responsibility. Along with all that, has been some drama. Our Dad is still alive. He has made horrible choices in his life that have cost him relationships with his children. For the record, I believe in forgiveness and that people can change but he NEVER has. He has been doing the same old stuff for over 20 years. Am I supposed to continue to get hurt and taken advantage of? Am I supposed to allow Baylee and Griffin too and my own children?? I don't think so. I am NOT a confrontational person. I like to keep the peace. I have a hard time not pleasing everyone around me but I have been put in situations where I have had to STAND UP for what is best for ME and MY FAMILY and MY SIBLINGS. I am at peace. I feel like I am living my life the best I know how too and helping the children in my life do the same. I continue to receive pressure from my Dad's family to include him in my life but he has LOST those privileges and done NOTHING to gain them back. In fact, in my eyes it is too late now. I have gone PRIVATE to protect myself and my family. I don't need or want people looking into my personal life that don't deserve it. I love blogging and I think my next post will be reasons why I blog!

But to add to the drama... yesterday I took Baylee to get her learners permit at the DMV and they won't let her get one because I don't have court ordered legal guardianship. I only have my Mom's will. They gave me a number to call to see if there is any way they will accept the will and the number was not legitate. I'm so frusterated! We don't deserve this and niether does Baylee. Hopefully we can get something figured out. I'll keep you posted.
