Q1: Welcome @amandajelks! You have such an amazing story of truly overcoming the near impossible. You were pregnant at 14 but didn’t let it stop you graduating valedictorian of your class, going on to college and now a successful lawyer and motivational speaker. Could you tell us a little of your story of how you did it? #momlifechats

My parents had a very emotionally and physically abusive relationship. By the time my mother finally walked away from my abusive father, I was nine years old and he had produced

son, I used all the negative things people said about me as motivation to keep moving forward.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
You keep going girl!!can only imagine how scary those times must have been. But your kids got to be proud to have such a strong women raise them!!
