Hi Kourtney, I wanted to write to you because you are my role model. You are such an inspiration to me because of how much you love your kids and strive to be an amazing mother. My only wish in life is to be a mom. Unfortunately, I have had some major setbacks in my life. I too, have a husband who makes bad decisions when they drink. He has hurt me so many times when he's drunk and when I see Scott making bad choices, I can relate. The worst time, was our wedding day 2 years ago. He was drunk the whole weekend and texting me horrible things like he's going to ruin the wedding for me and not show up and calling me names. I just tried to be strong and I went through with it. He was drunk at the ceremony and then in between the wedding and the reception, he attacked me in the hotel room, completely trashed it and I had to call the police to take him away. So I went to my reception and had to pretend I was ok, while he was in the hospital. It was the worst day of my life. I completely traumatized. I wasn't sleeping, having nightmares, crying all day, I shut down. I feel so bad I wasted my mom's money. She's a single mom who raised 2 kids on her own and paid for me have this beautiful day and then it got taken away. Anyways, 2 months after that, I found out I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. So for the past year and a half I have been going through treatments and surgeries and radiations, all the while being broken about what happened. Needless to say, it's been the worst 2 years of my life. Thankfully he quit drinking and we are working every day to be good to each other. My health has been terrible and I've been so scared that my chance of being a mom will be taken away from me. I've even tried to freeze my eggs for later but that was too expensive. I am writing you now from my hospital bed, this is my last round of radiation. Luckily, my cancer is treatable and I should be cancer free soon and able to have children within the next year (assuming that the radiation works!) Anyways, I just wanted to tell you, that watching you on the show, and seeing your blogs and posts, has really given me hope that I can be a good mom someday too. My only want in life is to be a mom and raise my kids to be good, decent, kind, people like I know your angels will be. Unfortunately, my dreams will not be completely answered because obviously I don't have the money to stay home and do all the things I wish I could. You have given me so many awesome ideas like attachment parenting, clothes, baby equipment, co-sleeping, and being healthy (I even started the Ayurvedic lifestyle because of you!) I just want to say, thanks for sharing your tips and your life to those of us who dream of being a mom like you. I know you work so hard and it pays off! Please continue to share mom stuff so that I have hope that when I am cancer free (and win the lottery LOL), that I can be an amazing mom just like you!
I just also wanted to say that I think it's really wonderful that you raise your own children instead of paying someone else to do it for you. I only hope to do the same!!
