Like he is constantly eating and for some reason this really fucks me off, i can't understand why, I mean sure he has been a bad dad at times but ya know.
Also he seems to like to wind me up like he knows how against ... -

I am finally starting to feel better i think it is a mixture of things,
One being counselling, another being meds but mostly my boyfriend.
I really did not think it was possible to find someone so utterley perfect for me, he is amazing.
He makes me feel good about myself which is something i have struggled with doing for so long, he is also so supportive of me in every way, plus he has been through ...

Short Stature Information
Short stature refers to a height of a human being which is below expected. Shortness is a vague term without a precise definition and with significant relativity to context. Because of the lack of preciseness, there is often disagreement about the degree of shortness that should be called short. Shortness in children and young adults nearly always results from below-average growth in childhood, while shortness in older adults usually results from loss of height due to kyphosis of the spine or collapsed vertebrae from osteoporosis.
From a medical perspective, severe shortness can be a variation of normal, resulting from the interplay of multiple familial genes. It can also be due to one or more of many abnormal conditions, such as chronic (prolonged) hormone deficiency, malnutrition, disease of a major organ system, mistreatment, treatment with certain drugs, chromosomal deletions, inherited diseases, birth defect syndromes, or many other causes. However, shortness is usually just genetic and is not a problem other than what the media makes it into.
