Robert's Story
Hi all. I guess life really hasn't gone as I expected. After HS I went to Michigan Tech but left before graduating. I got married Oct 20th, 2001 to my wife Kathalina. She encouraged me to pursue my interest in history by becoming a teacher. I went to CMU and got all the way through student teaching before I found I was not cut out for it. Still, I did walk away with a bachelors in History and Social Studies. We are in Midland now because my wife started a private practice as a mental health therapist. In October of 2007, we welcomed our daughter Lily into our lives as a foster baby just 7 weeks old. The adoption was finalized January 2009. I stay at home taking care of Lily and also do maintenance at our homes and the office building. I like working on home improvement and woodworking projects.
Edit on 8-4-2019: It has been 10 long years since I first wrote a bio here and almost nothing above applies to me anymore. Kath divorced me a few years back. I was left with very little because I was not the main breadwinner. I focused on helping my wife's career and raising our child and all it did was screw me out of any real career prospects.

il late last year I was eeking out some earnings running a one man lawn care operation in Midland, but this past winter was too mild to make much money with snow removal and I ended up moving back to my Dad's house in Dearborn because I couldn't afford anything on my own. This has just made my mental state even worse. I cant concentrate on anything of importance because it just increases my anxiety. If I had to describe myself in one sentence it would be "I'm broken, out of warranty, and no spare parts are available." I was recently looking at my senior yearbook and someone had written they hoped I never lost my unique sense of humor. I pretty much have no humor left. One more thing to disappoint people with. The only thing I have going for me is that I am not suicidal. Or to be more specific, I can't ever go through with a suicidal thought. There are several reasons but the most important one is I cant do that to my daughter. A cousin of mine did it and it devastated his parents. So I just sit at home, existing but not doing much living either.
If you want to contact me, don't sign the guestbook here because I am not paying for gold membership just to see that. I'm on Mr Zuckerberg's platform so you can find me there.
