About Me
MY KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR TURNED OUT TO BE A LOSER IN ALUMINUM FOIL. I am a soon-to-be divorced single mom. My STBX husband was extremely emotionally, physically, and financially abusive, and I am trying to heal my heart and mind from 6 years of torture. My son is 5 years old, and has autism. He's the number 1 love in my life. "When I die I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming like the passenger in his car!" --Sent to me from a friend :-)
Interests
I'm still trying to figure out who I am and what I want. His porn addiction stole all that I once was, including my confidence and self-esteem. "The first time you marry for love, the second for money, the third for companionship." ~Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis

Support Groups
Close Autism / Autism Spectrum
Here for my son, BUT THE OTHERS IN THIS GROUP MAKE ME FEEL UNWELCOME HERE BECAUSE I KNOW VACCINES DID NOT CAUSE MY SON TO BE AUTISTIC. So, I cannot get the support I need here :-(
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Wheat gluten/casien free diet. Helps with his digestion, and his behavior is better.
- Behavior Management Working / Worked
- Working, but slowly...
- Occupational Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- He is showing improvement, but I'm not expecting any miracles...
- Pets Working / Worked
- As soon as we bought him a kitten last summer, he began talking. The cat is his only friend.
- Picture / Word Schedules Working / Worked
- Really has helped him with transitioning from one thing to the next.
- Speech Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- He is seeing a speech-language pathologist one day a week (until we can afford more days of therapy). It's helping a little, but we haven't seen a HUGE improvement so far.
- TEACCH Considering
- We found a school that uses this program. Hopefully we can get him into that school.
Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Diagnosed at 18, somehow got pregnant at 20 after losing 50 pounds. My symptoms got worse after being on birth control for a year. 4 years later, it's worse than ever.
Open Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis
Here to support my friend, Gail67.
Open Pet Bereavement
The family dog, KoKo, passed away on April 1, 2008. She was 13 years old. She was given to me as a puppy by my dad when I was 13. She stayed with my parents when I got married. Visiting their house now feels odd- she's not there.
Open Fibromyalgia
MelindaG hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)
My son is 5, but has a developemental age of 18-24 months. He is in a special education preschool.
Treatments

Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
*sigh*
Open Breakups & Divorce
My knight in shining armor turned out to be a loser in aluminum foil. And he was abusive.
Treatments
- Support Groups Working / Worked
- The only thing helping at all is my friends here on DS, and I still find it hard to cope.
- Leave Working / Worked
- I have good days and bad days...
- Talking Not Working
- He never wanted to hear a word I had to say...
- Time Somewhat Helpful
