Found Handicaped Housing Mood
Monday, August 25, 2008 | A Breaking News story
I found a handicapped accessible apartment.  IT is not as large as my old apartment, so I have to sell or discard items, but maybe that will help me toss out the past and get on with my life.

just when I thought things couldn't get worse, they did Mood
Wednesday, July 16, 2008 | A Frustrating story

I've been separated for almost three years and as of Monday, I was offically divorced.  My life over the past four years have been very trying.  I became disabled in October 2004.  I went from being the bread winner to losing everything.  My Ex-husband had no use for me once I became disabled, I couldn't support him, in the way he had grown accustomed.  In November 2004, while being treated for my injuries which caused my disability, I suffered an adverse drug reaction to medication given to me.  My husband at the time refused to take me to the Emergency Room for treatment.  I called the Emergency Room doctor who instructed me to get to the  ER right away.  My ex-husband refused to allow the police or paramedics to help me, he told them that I was faking it.  I'll never know how much of my current disability I would NOT have, had my ex-husband taken me or allowed me to be taken to the ER.  In the years that followed, I lost my job, my house, my savings and my daughter.

 

My Ex-husband has ended up with physical custody of my daughter, despite the fact that he has been neglecting and abusing her for the past three years.  IL Department of Children and Family Services  (DCFS) do not consider me to be a good source of information and the Judge who is a mandatory reporter to DCFS is accepting bribes from my ex-husband to allow him to continue to have my daughter.  B ecause of my disability, my ex-husband gets over $900 a month in tax free social security benefits for my daughter.  

 

 Somehow the man I married has told numerous  lies and convinced the Judge that I have been abusing my daugher, so I no longer get visitation with my daughter.   I am very concerned about my daughter and I ask for prayers that GOD watches over her, since I no longer am legally allowed to do so.
