As an outsider, we see her life as perfect and happy, doing good deeds with a beautiful family by her side. It's a dream come true.
But it was not the same before and she has struggled with every blood and bone to get this far.
Charlene has been married twice, before Don. She first tied the knot during her 20s with her boyfriend Mike Lindstrom.
Our sources report that her first marriage involved severe physical and mental abuse, as well as domestic violence.
When the abuse was more than enough, Charlene divorced her first husband and was left with two beautiful daughters Leah and Erin to raise by herself.
She did everything to raise her daughters, get them to good schools, and keep the family strong and united.
Eventually, she met her second husband during the 1990s. Both were madly in love and both were so eager to start a family together.
Her second husband, Ken Lehman, had two daughters, Krista and Noel from his first wife. Ken and Charlene did everything to meet the demands of the family.

Life seemed hard yet happy until one day, the worst happened. Ken was diagnosed with a brain tumor. At that same time, Charlene was heavily pregnant with twins.
Charlene, solely took care of four girls, paid all the medical expenses of her husband's treatment, and also gave birth to her adorable twins, Jazmin and KC.
Not only that, one of the twins, KC, was diagnosed with brain damage after her birth, which created havoc in Charlene's life.
Unfortunately, Ken died due to failure in treatment in September of 1996. Now, Charlene had to raise six daughters all by herself with no support and an unstable source of income.
Charlene with her non-profit company, dancing classes, teaching gymnastics, and doing odd jobs, took care of the entire family single-handedly.
Now, all the daughters have grown up to be beautiful young women and Charlene is proud of them.

Don Swayze's single fatherhood and his brother's tragic ending
Before being wedlock to Charlene, Don was married to model and actress Marcia Swayze in December 1985.
Their first encounter was favored by their career as both were working hard to make their way up in Hollywood.
After eight long years of being together, the couple, unfortunately, decided to part ways and got divorced in 1993.
Don and Marcia together have a daughter, Danielle Swayze who was born in 1998. After the divorce, Don became the primary physical custody parent and raised beautiful Danielle all by himself.
