Someone's Gotta Drive

The wedding weekend is here! And like most weddings and family functions...it doesn't come without its own fair share of drama

He wanted a long engagement...during that long engagement, some of my family's true colors started to show

I always knew I'd get remarried...but I didnt think he would propose so soon!

My 1st 2 years in NJ were crazy but beautiful. The best part was getting divorced!!!

Leaving my ex-husband was nerve racking as it was...the first 3 months proved to be just as anxiety ridden as leaving

I made it to new jersey

Mom answers another prayer for me

I made a little prayer to my mom, she answered!

Even though my mom has been in at the hospital, most of my life, her health takes a drastic turn for the worse

Getting into the pizza industry, life started looking up

After I find out about my ex-husband stealing my mother's pills. I have to choose between one Evil and another

I come home to take care of mom but I got a lot more than I bargained for

I travel for work trying to see what works for me

4 months into this marriage, I'm leaving. 20 years after meeting my mother, so is my father!

Some thoughts on the 12 year anniversary of my mother's passing

Our relationship may have been 5 years in the making, but was over in just 4 months! How porn and drugs became the end all.

Mom has her small intestines removed and asks us "Why did you let me live?"

I got out of my Uncle's house and replaced one evil for another...but life wasn't all that bad!

What I hoped to be a good start to adulthood ends with threats and loud masturbation!

Senior year was finally here! I thought it would be easy, but it ended up tougher than I expected.

At 15, I find new found freedom.

A brief description of life before Mom's surgery.

Too old to play, too young to hang out with friends. Mom's addictions become worse and the only thing I could control in my life was an eating disorder!

My Early Childhood before I could put 2 and 2 together

Hi, I'm Jess from someone's gotta drive. I decided to start this podcast, because I grew up with a mother with many addictions, I ended up with an ex-husband with many addictions, and currently trying to raise my children and trying to break the cycle.
