About Me
I'm a 34 year old stay at home mom. I have two beautiful boys. My oldest son is 14 and youngest is 6yrs old. My 6yr old was born with a severe heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Syndrome. He's had three open heart surgeries, 6 caths, pacemaker placement, and in 05 starting having seizures. He is very delayed due to prolonged stays in the hosp. On top of that, it has been brought to my attention that he may also have autism. I feel like I have absolutely no help at all with my husband or my family. Its basically just me and my kids. My marriage is all but completely detroyed. We are hanging on but barely. We seperated not very long ago and I found out he had been having an affair w my so called best friend since third grade. I feel like Im trapped in this marriage because I dont have the money to leave. My husband is very controlling and acts as if I leave the house (which is rarely) Im having an affair. I dont even have time to get a hair trim much less!! I had to quit my jon to take care of my son so the only income is my long term leave...which isnt much at all. I get so depressed I cry all the time...esp at night. Im helpless in everyway but most importantly I feel helpless w my sons illness. Just wondering what in the world am I going to do and when is everything going to ever calm down for my children and me. Im completely devastated!

Oh Darlin'..so sorry to hear your story.And I can relate to most of it,as I had a similar situation within my 13+ yrs of marriage..Except my 2 sons were healthy.Thanks for wanting to be my friend..And if there's anything I can do ,just let me know.I've gained at least a few insights from going through a rather rocky & partially abusive ,controling marriage ,that ultimately led me to divorce...just when I'd thought the past 3yrs were going better than ever.... when my ex-husband & his parents & family ended up moving everything ,themselves and my youngest son out of the house ,when I'd went to my mum's house for less than 48hrs back in Aug 1994...What evil,sociopathic ,pathalogical liers ,actors & people my ex & his family is...anyway,that's about me..and mine is long over...If yopu ever want or need to talk to me,just message me here...I love to help others and I'm "Hyper-Sensitive"..so I often feel their pain & heartach....You may also add me to your Yahoo instant messenger,if you use it...my screen name there is"madcatz2go"...just let me know you're a friend from"DS"...Or if you have "skype"..we can webcam,voice chat ,or text there also..You can download "skype" for free..but, a dear friend of mine told me to use the older 3.8 version,due to it working better for some odd reason..I have a paid monthly plan,so I can call you and anyone in the us,Canada +40 other countries ...I'd love to offer you my support and any insights knowledge & guidence...My "skype" name is simply"melissa.ann.daniels"...I'll be praying for you now also & sending out positive thoughts out into our vast Universal Conciousness,as I do consistantly for all my friends here & elsewhere.....Just know,I'm here for you...I'm sending this with love & concern & wishing you many blessings & favors...Love & Peace,Missy/MEL
