My (full) name is Richard Matthew Stombaugh, I was born on October 16th, 1986 at 6:47 am in Portland, Oregon. When I was 3 my mom (Candace Stombaugh) and dad (Daniel Stombaugh) divorced and I got to live with my mom over some court issues (was little so dont remember them). About a year later my mom fell once again in love with another man (David Thoms) that was a truck driver for Matlack truck industries and lived in Ragley, Louisiana. He had a large family down there and since we wernt doing too good in the great North West for the time being, we moved back down with him. On the way he purposed to my mother and she gladly accepted which changed her full name to Candace Susan Thoms. About another year later they divorced and we moved to a not much bigger town called Sulphur, Louisiana. Not much happened there, I was about 4 almost 5 and was attending pre-school. Then once again love stuck my mom. We were at some party (Dunno if it was Halloween, Thanksgiving, ect) and there she met a man named Richard Allen Motte. They instantly fell for each other and one day knew for sure they were together by seeing them making out on our friends couch at new years (freaked me out so much that I couldnt remember the year it was). Then we moved in with him in his small house located in Lake Charles, Louisiana. There I attended graded Kindergarden through the begenning of my 3rd grade year. Then we decided (Me mom, and Richard Motte) to move up to Portland Oregon once again and retry life up there. On the way I celebrated my 9th birthday :D When we arrived we decided to live in Vancouver, Washington instead. It was a smaller town located just a couple miles north across the Columbia River. There my mom and her "boyfriend" and I lived happily for about 5 years til they finally broke up. They were together for 7 years without marring. Then me and my mom moved into a small duplex that my mom still live in today on the other side of town. There I finally turned 15 and attended my first year of High-School...but then love struck my mom again and this time, it wasnt so good. His name is Steve...something (forget his last name) and there still together. They met about a month into my 9th grade year. I was doing good, didnt have alot of friends, but was making them and was getting VERY good grades, better than the ones I make now. In a way I was doin well. Til Steve came in. She totally turned my mom against me, she never came home for days, even weeks at a time. There would hardly be any food to eat, plus she would lie to me constantly. At first I took it easy, talked to my mom trying to explain that you need to get back with who you were, but she just nodded her head while all she could think about was Steve. So one day I simply....cracked. I went insane, I couldnt stand that I was alone every single night with noone to talk or see. It hurt me bad.. so bad that I quit school and gained alot of weight. I almost went to jail for the school skipping thing, but got out of it ( I love that judge ) So then times went by, til summer came. Thats where my brother comes in. His full name is Carl Richard Boyko and hes pretty much the coolest bro a 16 year old could have. He drove up all the way form Arkansas, about 2 and a half THOUSAND miles, just to visit for about a month. I told him and his feonce, Teresa Harrel about my problems and they offered for me to come down and lived with them. It took alot of sleeping over to thing of, but then one day Carl was informed that someone had broken into his house and stole his dirt bike. He and everyone in our house was furious. I knew he would have to go back soon so I decided to act quickly and accept to go with. When we arrived in town (the night before school started) I went to work with my brother in Searcy, Arkansas to get some money for stuff (school clothes, supplies, ect) and went back to school after about a few weeks. Up until now Ive been doing great, have lots of friedns including on that uses Livejournal as well (Hi Elizabeth!) Comming down here has really changed my life and now that Im on here I hope to make even more friends. Thanks for reading my very very very long bio lol sorry about the lenght. And if you auctally did read all of this then I salute you heh. Thanks again
