Welcome to this week’s Womanly Wednesday! Today’s post is by Trisha of The Ham And Cheese Of It, a blogger I’ve come to enjoy a lot over these last few months. It breaks my heart to know so many kids go through traumatic situations like this but I am so encouraged by men and women like Roxanne who step into that situation and offer hope, love, and grace. Thanks for sharing your story, Trisha!
I am so grateful to have been chosen to participate in Womanly Wednesday. I have very much enjoyed reading the passionate, heart wrenching stories from the women that have contributed to Lauren’s Womanly Wednesday series. When she asked her readers for guest posts I felt conflicted, as I am sure many of my predecessors before me felt as well. But my adoring husband made a great point. What if someone else is in my shoes? Well, as always he had a great point.
My biological mother is a felon, drug addict and even though she has never been charged, she has, on more than one occasion, alluded to the fact that she may or may not have been a participant in a murder. She has also been arrested for money laundering, credit card fraud, domestic abuse (she shot her second husband in the leg), arson and intent to distribute. The list goes on and on and on. I could fill this entire story up with just her legal woes. But I am not here to talk about her. I am here to talk about a woman named Roxanne.
