After Graduation in June on 1989 I moved to a fairly small town in ALabama. I really grew up alot while I was there... I needed to get to know myself again... On September 25, 1989 I celebrated the birth of my only child, HOLLY AMANDA DORMAN.

Sooo many things have happened in the past 8 years. When I had her I was in need of a blood transfussion which I refused because I am terrified of AIDS. As a result I spent a week in the hospital instead of the usual in and out on the same day you deliver stay. I was very sick and week for a very long time. I have very little memory of most of the first six months of her life.

In June of 1990 We had moved back to California and Holly's father and I got married in Las Vegas. There is very little of that mess I chose to discuss in public as it is not a pleasant topic. Let me just say this... it takes a hell of a lot more then donating sperm to make a father.. since August of 1990 he has spent 8 days with her....

Anyhow Holly was quite a burden... Noone could have prepared me for what I would endure durring her first four years of life. Don't take this wrong.. I love here with all my heart.. But to be 17 and alone and have a child whom was ill for 3 1/2 years straight is more then I would wisht apon anyone. She had chronic Bronchitis, ran fevers upto 105°m ,she caught Hemophulis Influenza B 3 months before the age she would be vacinated for it... she caught Rotta Virus which she ended up in Childrens Hospital San Diego severely dehydrated in critical condition.... She broke a finger, and both bones in her left arm but not at the same time. She had Reactive airway disease,1 sinus surgery, 3 ear surgeries, contact dermatitis and an underdevelped immune system.. It was always something... she had doctor appointments 3 times a week for years... I could go on and on... but I think you get the picture.... Very trying... Not to mention she went through 18 months where she only grew 1/2 an inch.

When she was 4 we moved to New Mexico and all of her health problems disappeared overnight. New Mexico was good to us for along time, but durring the summer of 1995 things went bad... I was stalked by a psychopath and my life began to unravel very rapidly.... In January of 1996 My grandmother died, a week later a friend whom I met on Prodigy died, a week later I had a friend nearly die when the car he was working on landed on his head when the jacks gave way. The turning point though was when my best friend died.... on the 28th... so in less then one month the world around me was destroyed.
We moved back to California in March of 1996 to be close to my family. I am now working full time at a department store which is okay but not great. I want to get back into acting... it is where my heart is and where I feel I need to be.

Holly was recently aslo diagnosised with Attention Deficet Hyperactivity Disorder.. so we are having new struggles to face every day.
