Emerald Moss 31

I will be writing from my extensive and unique life experiances.  I was born to a family of great powerful influence, both international and inter-religious.  This, I believe, gives me a unique perspective on the problems of the world that sometimes seem insurmountable  to the average person.  I hope to use my perspective to help others navigate through the bs thrown down to the masses from the powers that be, so they are not able to intimatate so easily. I rejected the lifestyle my family tried to teach me, and opted to follow my heart.  As punishment, my family refused to allow me to do my written homework in school.  They did not know that an uncle had taught me to read by the time I was 2 1/2 years old.  My Maternal Grandfather had left me his private library when he died when I was 17 1/2 months old.  They took the books out of the house when my older sister told them she thought I was trying to read them at 7 years old.  I had already read all of them I wanted to at least a year before that.  I was diagnosed with severe allergy-related asthma when I was 4 years old, it has never gone away completely, and the family was severly abusive to me about it.  With name calling,teasing, stealing or hiding my inhaler, and telling people outside the family that did not know about asthma that I hyper-ventalate when I get emotionally upset about anything.  It was a God awful existance.  My Mom could not protect me because she had high blood pressure and they all did the same to her.  I am now 57 years old, and my Mom died when she was 55 years old just like her mother and grandmother before her.  My goal in life is to out-live every relative who teased and lied about me, raped me, kidnapped my 3 babies because I would not go along with family arranged marriage with a cousin or friend of the family.  Children I have not been allowed to see or communicate with for 30 years since 1982.  I tried to put them up for adoption, but most States in the USA have laws that the childrens extended family have to be notified of proposed adoptions and they are given first choise as to whether or not the children get adopted outside the family.  Definately a bad side to the Bush Administration's programs promoting 'Keeping Families Together'!

Well that's a beginning of what I am all about.  I am looking fdorward to seeing what I can do with this neew tool  I have just discovered,  I hope some people enjoy this journey with me, as I now embark- onward and upward!
