Welcome to Real Wife’s Life
Relevant Issues, Realistic Solutions
I am Cristy, a married mom of over 20 years. Together, my husband Timo and I have 5 children. Two of these little ones are under the age of two. Our oldest is 21 and has a baby boy of her own, who is just a few weeks older than my youngest. I won the lottery of life and I am blessed to be alive and healthy today, able to share some of my experience. My philosophy with this blog is to provide real life solutions for real life challenges. While showing my own children the courage to break this cycle of addiction I was born into. As you will learn while reading my posts, I have struggled with very serious challenges in my life.

While I have had some opportunities I could of never imagined as a young girl, I have also overcome some of the most difficult situations I equally could of never dreamed. I am hoping to bring education and hope to anyone who may be struggling in their own life. I want to break stereotypes of what addiction looks like and who it can impact.

Through all the struggles my family has endured in the last 3 years, we have learned many lessons. And I want to share this knowledge with you. From battling a drug addiction during pregnancy, to fighting Child Protective Services for custody of my children, to a civil case with a business partner that severely impacted our livelihood. I am now rebuilding my life, after loosing everything but my life. This time I am keeping what’s important and leaving the rest behind. It’s amazing what I was able to do on auto pilot, I can’t imagine what’s achievable with my eye on the prize.

So buckle up, because you’re about to get a big dose of reality. Join me on this journey as our family heals, rebuilds, and hopefully makes a difference in someone else’s life.
