Hi, it's great to meet you! I'm 34 years old and my current hobbies include cooking, jewelry making, video games, and hanging out with my dogs! I lost a parent (father) at a young age and that made relationships difficult for me in the past. Family relationships, friendships, and romantic relationships were a struggle. Physical and verbal abuse were present in addition to drug and alcohol abuse. I've learned so much from my past experiences and I've been lucky to have an amazing support system. I'm a nonjudgmental listener and an empathic leader.
