I stayed in a cruel and loveless marriage for 20 years because my religious upbringing greatly frowned upon divorce. But, after lossing my best friend/sister to cancer, and my children begging me to get them out of this bad situation, I summoned up the courage to finally divorce my husband.
I lost my sister/best friend to this brutal disease 19 months ago.
Looking back, I realize that I have been dealing w/Depression to one degree or another for the past 30 years. But, the last 3 years have been the darkest!
My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 7 years old. It was terrifying and changed the dynamic of the whole family. He is now nearly 19 and in his 1st year of college (Pre-Med.). He wants to be a Pediatric Endocrinlogist. I wonder where he got that idea?
I have 4 kids....Ian - 19 (freshman in College); Leah - 16 (Junior in High School); Helen - 15 (freshman in High School); Drew - 12 (6th grader). Although I have only been separated from their Dad since the end of June, I've raised these kids on my own. He traveled a lot and showed no interest in them.
On May 18th I found my mother more than half dead in her apt. She has fallen and laid there for atleast a day before I found her. She had fallen into her closet and laid on the things in the closet which caused severe pressure wounds on her back. She spent the next 10 days in the hospital, had surgery on her back, and then spent the next 100 days in Rehab until her Medicare coverage ran out and they told her she was discharged.
My Mother has recently been diagnosed with AD.
I am a single mother of 4. A son-20, daughter-18, daughter-16, son-14.
