I am still trying to figure out how to do things in this forum. haha. Well I am new here so I suppose here is my story. I was got married pretty young to what seemed like a great man. Things were great for the first couple months of marriage then my husband met up with some old friends one night while he was working. He got into drugs, stated hanging out all hours of the night. I was left without transportation and with out a phone because he wouldn't pay the phone bill. Every day I was in fear because he would go off at the tiniest thing and start hitting and yelling at me, telling me I was no good, I was a horrible mother, horrible wife and no one else would ever love someone like me. Like many abused women I did not lleave right away. My father asks me all the time, "why didn't you just go?" I just don't know what to tell him. My head was messed up, I didn't trust anyone because my husband was always telling me that he had people watching me. I have been through my children being Kidnapped, having to take them to therapy, my now ex husband is not allowed around our children or any children because he sexually abused his girlfriends little boy. I take care of my daughters on my own with my family helping out the best that they can. Both my children, especially my younger have behavioral issues. My older child been in and out of the hospital due to the tumor in her eye that she was born with. Anyway we still have some problems but things seem to be a little better than last year. we are all trying to heal. I am trying to learn to trust people again I worry a lot since the kidnapping. I was told about the site by a friend so I thought I come check things out.

I can't think of the exact they used for it. The doctors have said that it is non cancerous and can nothing can be done surgically to repair it without causing something even worse to happen. Its right inside of the eye. I think its affecting certain areas of the brain as well because she twitches a lot as if she has seizures, especially when she is tired. They did mention something about possible seizures in the future and that the tumor may grow at some point but not enough to have effect. That didn't really make me feel much better. Its something hereditary she was born with but was apparent until she was 6 months old. Her father's mom also has the same condition. It seems to slow her down in doing a school work a bit but not as in knowing how to do the work because she is very intelligent but in actually getting the work done on time, although she is wearing glasses. I've been working with her on that and working out the eye muscles. On top of all that I am having to deal with certain people at her school who don't understand her condition and are wanting to act as if I am to blame for her having it, so I'm having to get the access to the medical records for proof. It just seems anytime I mention or someone sees that I'm a single mom, everything that I do or say is wrong.
