I am bascially a housewife, which is basically a "home-maker" in the US. I'm very mumsy although I don't mean to be. I don't get out much and when I do it's only to do the "food shop". People generally make fun of me although it wasn't always that way. My family pretty much broke me. I think they were very disturbed individuals who were very threatened by my confidence and early "success". I pretty much lost everything because of them but I'm not bitter. I survived which is the main thing. I'm doing this to get my confidence to back and feel I can "express myself" without being shouted down which is always what has happened previously.
