Hi everyone and welcome to my web site! I'm sure if you've come this far to find me, you already know a little bit about my story. If you don't, let me just briefly fill you in.
Before May 19th, 1992, I was a Long Island, New York housewife with a husband and 2 children, a boy and a girl. Trying to be a good mom and wife and just trying to get through life like everybody else. But all that changed on that day, when I answered the door to find a young girl on my front stoop. You know, for 37 years I had never heard the name Amy Fisher, and now, for the rest of my life, she's right up there on the Google search next to mine. Lucky me. But I digress----------
Anyway, she had an affair with my ex-husband, came to my house, shot me in the head, went to jail, got out of jail, got married, had 3 kids, made a porno tape and has decided for now that her life ambition is to be a stripper and pole dancer----------so far.
My ex-husband, Joey, denied the affair, admitted the affair, went to jail, got out of jail, got caught soliciting a prostitute, went back to jail, got out of jail, got divorced (from me) plead guilty to insurance fraud in California, went back to jail, got out of jail, got remarried (I won't even go there!) violated probation and went back to jail, got out and made a porno tape-----------so far.
As for me-----through all of this lunacy, I managed to raise two wonderful children who, believe it or not, have wonderful morals and values and are the reason I fought so hard to live. They have not let me down----------so far. (just kidding).
I also found a wonderful man who shares my vision of honesty and integrity. He has 3 children of his own and together we are a family.
