well where to start.First I am 43 , libra, and from southeast Sask. Canada. SAHM

Well i haven't had the easiest life.Parents that drank, the perfect sister and very low self esteem...thanks mainly to home situation, which was BAD
I am the mother to 6 kids(two step)This is my 4th marraige.First marraige he cheated and his best friend sexually assulted me;second was a drunk;thier a church man,who cheated...later killed himself, after remarrying;The 4th i have been in for 10 years,three married.
My step daughter Janelle (25) plays us a lot.He crazy mom controls her.I have a grandson i never get to see.She is married.
My son arliss(24.5) has heart problums.He had aeortic problums at 15 month, and surgery.He is waiting for more surgery to replace the valve.He is in british columbia, waiting on disability money.We help him out when we can.He was pushed through school and has trouble filling out a resume
Stepson brad(22) doesn't speak to us at all.His mom again.disletsic(sp)
Son greg married(22)Lives on farm with inlaws Never calls...wierd family dinamic on her side.She was assulted by her dad...who still lives there.Greg thinks i need to like her family, sorry...they are nuts!
Aj (19) has a brain injury from being run over in 1997.He has other medical problums too.Lives on his own...but we help him too.Schooling was a nightmare.
Thomas(16)goes to school and works after school.

We also have dh's ex from hell alway on us; and my second ex harasses us too.He sexually assulted most of our boys and got away with it.Both spouses have repeatidly taken us to court.We are broke and in dept because of all above.

we get no support from either family.Like i said mine drink and momwas very abusive to me.His family believes you only wed once and don't care that dh was left by his wife for another man.They think we live off thier son, but forget when i supported dh , the kids, and paid his child support.I seldom get supposrt from my ex(#2)

I had a breakdown in 2000, while at work.All the above, and the neibours we lived across from.They hated my handicapped son, and called him names.He couldn't even play with toy cars in from of our house.I was also fat B to them.

So now i stay at home.Little things stress me out. I cry easily.Am off all drugs.i was on prozac and slep all the time.

I had uterine problums last year and hemmoraged...so they did a uterine burn.Now i have the leaking bladder instead, crap!I was also in a car accident.Hit from behind.So thier is a lot i can't do.I had arthritis now, nausia,headaches, blurry vision.This week i need to phone and get another dr.As my dr is no longer here.We have no fault insurance here, so I have to deal with the insurance company a lot.

I have memory issues;depression;i hate crowds;I hate to call people on the phone, or answer it.People scare me at times.Drives dh nuts!!

I have a birthday party on the 29th .Dh will be 50.aj will be 19.So lots to do, plan, make,and people to meet.VERY stressful!! Thier are also finances to consider.Hate that!I know i won't get much sleep between now and then...will be worring too much.
Well that is most of it...as i remember now lol.

well i am seeing a new dr in about a weeks time.We have medicare up here, so i can afford to go.Problum is our dr"s are leaving for the greener pastures in the states.
I have seen the last dr for the past 2-3 years.He didn't much of a bedside manner, but beggers can't be chooses...or so i thought,Why i was so aftaid to disipont hiom and move to another dr, i dont know.Now with him leaving...i am moving on.
This new dr is supposed to be real good.I will make a list of my needs and wants, and go from there. I hope to get on something for my nerves(for anxiety attacks too), incontenance, and arthritis.
Years ago i was on prozac and a couple of others they tried me on.I know i need something to even out my moodiness too.
Funny how you never see your self like this.I had to have a break down before i knew i needed help.Always thought i could cope.
Now i hate the outside at times.You know at one time i was a supervisor at a mental health assoc. in canada.I looked after people like me, and worse...now look who needs the help.

Hi Glenda!! :) Funny to meet you on two boards in as many days!! LOL I just met you over on the MFFL board and now here you are! :)


Welcome to AP&P!! I'm not a big time poster here but I lurk regularly and chime in occasionally. As I mentioned on the other board, I have an anxiety disorder. This board is fantastic- it's great to know that you are not alone and to share with and be supported by other wonderful people!! I'm sure you'll find lots of great info and support here!
