I lived there for 18 years and I never imagined that my “dream home” would become my nightmare. The repairs and upkeep led to misery for my husband, which affected me deeply. I hated my home, and simply plodded onward because I had so many issues to deal with related to my children and parents. I lived in Zombieland for twenty years.https://myjourneysinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/the-bride-and-mother-in-the-mirror.jpgThe bride and mother in the mirrorThis picture was taken before my wedding in June of 1981.
