My Story

Sooooo… A little about why I put so much work into creating a social media presence. They always say don’t judge a book right? Please read this before you decide to put in an opinion about someone you do not know…

My name is Shay, I am the daughter of an addict, it doesn’t define me, but it helped create the person I am today, and I say that, not only have I made dumb mistakes, but I’ve also picked up a lot of broken pieces for other people. I have a huge heart, and I really want the people I love to have everything they deserve.

I am 32 years old, and by the age of 23 I had gotten my little brother out of foster care. He was only 3 years old. This is something I didn’t foresee in the future, but it honestly just makes sense. The plan was never to have him full time, but the cards just played the way they did, and here we are almost 10 years later, and he’s fully adopted by me. Our dad is over 2 years sober now, but the sobriety counts when you are in the process of losing your child, and unfortunately for his parents, that just wasn’t in the hands they were dealt. His mom is currently serving up to 5 years in prison right now, and its just a sad story for him. We do have different moms before you judge my mom too much, Shes not mine, but she is his, so we wish her the very best, as I do all people. Even if I dislike someone. I always hope they will turn a new leaf. I am a believer in people, I strive myself to be a better version of myself each, and every day. So long story short before you have an entire novel to read. I do this for him, and you might judge me, and say really…. 18+ content? Thats for him? NO, but the money is. I don’t get child support; I get the occasional 100$ thrown my way when I see my dad once in a while. Thats not support. Thats just a pat on the back, and that’s something that only started since he got sober. I don’t have a partner to help raise him. We were fortunate enough to have my ex-boyfriend become his real dad, and is someone who he has to be in his corner, but he doesn’t help buy his school clothes, he doesn’t buy the sports programs, or summer camps, and the xmas presents, It all falls on me, and it’s really hard. I just was able to refinance my house, because I was stuck in a weird situation with my ex, and his wife living here with us, and well I bought him out, and now my financial problems are greater; but all I can do is keep pushing forward, even if I don’t have people who are able to support me. If you're on this website, and you’re reading this, this is support, even if it’s not a $ sign, You in my corner is support to me, if you can’t help a creator even though you’d like to, your likes, your comments, your shares really help a lot. Nothing goes unnoticed even if I forget to check all my comments, and respond, I promise at some point I will go back to that post I made, and review the comments, I’m just running a lot of social medias right now, working a full time job, and for those of you who tell me “Go gEt A ReAl JoB” I do have a “real” job, I work day in, and day out. First my respectable job, then after work I’m hustlin my ass off, whether it’s a tiktok, editing content, responding back to messages. I am working. When my head hits the pillow for bed, that’s my break. I WILL make it for me, and my child. Thank you to the few of you that show up for me, and make it so I can buy groceries for my son. Your support will never go unappreciated <3 Shay
