  I would say good riddence, with everything you are going through, you do not need the stress your husband would bring.
  
  concerning your son, was he put on a heart transplant list? it seems kind of strange they would say he was in heart failure and then not do much about it. My son has schizophrenia and I had to fight tooth and nail to get him into the right programs.

  Thank you so much for your messages. God bless you both.
  It's just hard because I'm a single mother with a teen with expensive medical bills coming in. I also don't have any friends or family because my son and I just moved to L.A. and everyone is back in New York. Plus, my family is really poor anyway and can't send money in. I can afford it, but money is getting really tight.
  thanks again,
  Becca

  Becca,
  It seems to you, that you are reaching the end of the world, although I know is hard, but sweety hang in there! Have faith!! God never abandon us! Please do try to find programs that can help you and your son. Like Elle said, God sometimes take people away from our lives, so we can be in peace and have a healthier one. I will have you and your son on my prayers. God bless you!! xoxo

  Hey,
  Yes, God does take people away from us to make our lives better. I believe it, for sure. It's just hard, because ever since my husband left -- well, everything has gotten even more stressful than it was when he was beating me and my son. I'm trying to afford the medical bills and on top of that, I have to try my best to take care of and comfort my son -- which is hard, because I need comfort myself!
  Have a blessed evening, everyone!
  Becca

  LiefsMom,
  I know is hard to let go, and I can only imagine how hard it is that your son knows what is going on, so you have to be strong for him. I can only imagine how overwhelmed you must feel. Im sure you will like someone to listen to you and to hug you. I can't give you a real hug here but you here xoxoxoxxxxx. :) I think by you coming here and typing how you feel will keep helping you a lot. Sometimes it help to tell someone how we truly feel, and crying cleanses the soul as well.
  In regards to the bills, I can only imagine how expensive they are, but Becca hang in there sweety. I know how it is to struggle with money (i am currently there), but I tell myself this " I know God is with me, and I know he cares for me and he would not let me go through something if He knew I could not handle it".
  As hard as it may seem, as badly sometimes you feel like giving up, DONT, please! Somethings in life we can not control, we can just live one day at a time, so as for today I am greatful I was able to feed my daughter with breakfast (so did I), grateful I had gas to come to work, grateful I get to hug and kiss my girl, I am greatful for this website where I can let things out and help others, I am greatful for my job, many people dont have one, and I am greatful that God created me and has bless me with another day. :) Have a good day sweety! If anything i am here! xoxo
