Roberta Erdmann

Southeast Texas

I was born in northern Indiana in the early fifties. My parents divorced twice and married each other a total of three times before I was seventeen.

I married my first husband when we were both just eighteen. Our daughter was born the following year. That marriage lasted twelve years.

For the next twelve years, I struggled to survive and raise my daughter without much help from her father. He married again and had a son.

Right before my fortieth birthday, I met a wonderful, handsome, and funny man. We dated for almost two years and were married in church.
