I am a single mother of three one of which is autistic. We are trying to get by together. I am unable to work due to g/m seizures, and arthritis in most of the joints in my body. So I stay home and teach, read story books, cook, read again, CLEAN, cook again...and on the cycle goes again. I decided to join after realizing i needed to talk about my mental pain which has come from several different traumatic events, including but not limited to physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual abuse, and more. I also need help dealing with my Physical pain from arthritis. Most of which was brought on from the physical abuse. Some of which has been unexplainable. I would also like to learn more and possibly help others who have an autistic child to learn on how to deal with out side family frustration , guilt, fear and much more that comes with raising an autistic or special needs child. My kids are my world. My eldest who is autistic starts school in 2 weeks!!!

How are you feeling?
Hey! Thanks for asking, I wish I could tell you I was feeling great. Unfortunately, today is already one of those days where I feel like I'm starting out with an arm tied behind my back. I hope you're doing well though!

There is always the tendency to not get the Police involved. The abuser is usually very appologetic I will never do it again I am so sorry blah blah. I can never understand why we get so drawn to these type of people and put up with all of their abusive behaviours you are right it must be fear of how you will manage and what about the kids. I hope he does not repeat the abuse as you know it get worse and more extreme each time she will be walking on egg shells for as long as she is with this person. No wonder you not feeling great you have so many things going on and you are going solo that must be a significant challenge. You should be proud of all the things you have to deal with. I hope your daughter gets better real soon I hope you have a good day. Try not to worry about your friend she has decided to stick with him so it is out of your control she had made her bed so now she has to lie in it. Easy does it. Martin
I was not actually in the accident. I missed it. But i was the first on the scene as I was the only other car there. What kills me is the man went around my car, and because of that he did not see the car turning at the red light and hit her. I went into the ditch got out to help the lady who's car was thrown into the air. there was no help I could give. She was crushed, in so many different ways. Mentally I can not get over this. I hurt every day and still smell the awful smell...HELP...
Zachary is now 5, he was diagnosed in Dec. of 07. I realized he was different when he was only a 6 or 7 months old. I researched and came to understand that he was probably autistic. When he was diagnosed i was not shocked, but my husbands family was not supportive. This was hard! Although his father and i already knew...it was very difficult explaining to his family that their grandson had a "problem". I however love every part of him, and will do what it takes to see him through this!
I have had general anxiety disorder for many years, it was first brought on when i was abandoned by my father at age 16 in a home where i lived till I was 18. Three years later i met the man I thought i would be with forever...that ended after two children and 6 years of mental and physical abuse. This did not help my anxiety. Then i lost my best friend to prison for something he didnt do....after which i witnessed a horrible accident in which the lady died. This put me over the top!
I have had chronic pain all over my body for about ten years. I found out only a few months ago that It is actually arthritis that is causing me to hurt so much all the time. What has caused it to get so bad recently was the physical abuse i went through over the past 6 years. That is over since the divorce started but, the pain it has left me in is NOT! :( I really hope that i can find a way to better understand this illness.
When My ex husband and i decided we were over I befriended someone who became my best friend and walked me through the pain i was going through. I trusted him, I fell in love with him. I became attached to him, and in a moment of time he was gone. They convicted him on pure HEAR say and he was railroaded. I hurt so much.....
I hurt every day. It is such a battle for me to walk forward and survive that walk. My kids are my world and with out them I would be gone. I need uplifting friends that understand the pain that is so deep inside....
