I don't think that when a US citizen named Kara Brookins got married for the first time, she knew in advance all the difficulties that life had in store for her.The first marriage broke up, and the second ended almost in flight - the second spouse turned out to be a mentally unhealthy person. In candid interviews, Kara shares the gruesome details of how she was subjected to moral and physical abuse - for example, in front of the eyes of the children, they could begin to strangle her or throw her with all his might against the wall! It's scary to think how heavy a psychological mark remained on the souls of children, not to mention the suffering of Kara herself!
Statistics are unforgiving things! In America, the number of divorces is growing year by year, and according to the latest figures it is 53% of the number of marriages. Experts attribute betrayal, domestic violence and financial difficulties to the main reasons for the separation of spouses.
By 2007, the unsuccessful second marriage finally fell apart, but Kara Brookins was literally left on the street with four children.
There is always a way out!
At the time of the divorce, the heroine herself was 45 years old, her children, if listed by seniority: 17, 15, 11 and 2.They returned home after the weekend and saw a terrible picture: their house was destroyed by a tornado. There is no savings for the purchase of a new home, the spouse is insane. What to do? Take life into your own hands and start acting!
An American woman takes a loan in 2008, spends $ 20,000 to purchase a land plot, and another $ 150,000 remains for construction materials. With nothing to pay the builders, the family starts building the house on their own, guided by videos from YouTube channels!
Kara has never been involved in construction in her life, has no special education, but she was not afraid to learn new things and start life from scratch.
The children sincerely supported their mother and took an active part in the construction, making every possible effort. Drew, 15, helped draft the blueprints. The younger ones carried water from a pond near the cement building site. A friendly family poured the foundation, erected walls, erected a roof, laid utilities, sewers, and made wiring for electricity. In order for the construction to end faster, a selfless woman worked even at night! Construction inspectors at first thought the venture was frankly crazy, but the house was checked, and the family received permission. Mother and children laid out the tiles and painted the walls with their own hands, thought over the interior, bringing coziness. All instructions were taken from the internet.
The world is not without good people! The family was helped by a retired firefighter. The man, too, has never been a builder, but worked for a symbolic fee.
The epic with the construction of the house took exactly nine months. The ceremonial move took place in 2009. The result is an excellent mansion, which is now valued at $ 500,000! The mansion area was 325 sq. m, it has five bedrooms, there is even a garage that can accommodate three cars.
How did life turn out afterwards
Kara Brookins was very embarrassed to share the sad experience of her unsuccessful family life, but then she realized that this should be shared.Perhaps her story will help other women cope with a similar situation. The American wrote an amazing book, then another, became a recognized writer and travels around the United States as a motivational speaker. On the Internet you can find her unique lectures.
Through Twitter, the woman talks about how they are still working, constantly improving their "dream mansion." It turned out interestingly: the story began with the loss of everything, but Brookins wanted to give the children a roof over their heads, and in the end she built a real strong family, where everyone stands behind the other. Yes, work and a common goal bring you closer! Despite the difficulties, the family survived, performing a real miracle.
According to some reports, Kara Brookins lives in New York, works as a senior computer analyst and continues to write books. This is indeed a very persistent woman, not broken by difficulties, with whom it is worth taking an example!
