Christi Marie Line

My name is Christi Marie. I was born in 1981 in a small town in Indiana that I lovingly refer to as Terrible Haute (Terre Haute). While I long to put those days, and pain associated with it, behind me…I fully realize that my time there has at least somewhat shaped who I am today. Born to a mother who committed suicide in 1983, and a father who was gay, I was often targeted by my peers for the family I was born into. To make an already complicated life even more difficult, I was molested for several years by a close family member.
At the age of 13, I was formally diagnosed with depression later attributed to PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), and social anxiety disorder. Due to the severity of my conditions, I have been on disability since 2009. While most keep these things to themselves, I feel voicing about disabilities brings a greater understanding and acceptance.
Now living in Indianapolis, IN, I have married and divorced, and currently have three children. Malachi, was born on 2002, Jakobe, was born in 2010, and Esmae was born in 2013. My children are my heart and soul, as well as the main source of hope in this world. While Malachi does not live with me (I signed over guardianship on 2007 when I became homeless), I have regular visits and will always continue to be a prominent statue in his life and I hope he one day comes home where he belongs.
I am known as a shy, dorky, opinionated, intelligent, caring, understanding, and strong woman who is prone to random acts of bitchiness and stupidity. I have no preconceived notion of fame, nor do I expect anyone to even read anything I have to say…but I’m here for me, and me alone.
Don’t hate me because I wasn’t who you though I was or who you wanted me to be. From the beginning you never really knew who I was.
Enjoy!
