My relationship with boyfriend

JackieLynn

My relationship with my boyfriend Tommy has been great and we have been dating since December. Has not put me down for being an amputee and sees me like any normal person. I have known him as friends at first through his dad. It all started in 2005 after I signed up as a member of the American Legion in the USA as a veteran and Tommy is a sons of the American Legion member due to dad being a veteran member. Met his dad first, my member leader welcoming me in after I signed up. Then Tommy seen me and his dad introduced him to me. It was in December he saw I served better and asked me on a date and said yes. I had ex boyfriends and an ex husband taunt me for my disability. It changed when I started dating him, saw he loved me for who I am and still does. Sees me like any normal person wearing a prosthetic leg which does not hold me back. My family, friends and son even like him and they say it is him that made me much happier
