I'm a single mother of one teenage boy. We lost his father when I was 19 and our son was only 10 months old. I live in a small town outside of Glasgow, Scotland and hope some day to move to somewhere a little more peaceful for both of us. I was diagnosed with TN roughly about a week ago, although I have been battling it now for over a year. My support network is small as my mother lives in England, but I have a small group of true friends who try to understand.

Music, Books and Film. i collect them all! I used to love dancing at clubs and used to be a regular face at a lot of the parties here, but have since toned that down as I am either drugged up and useless or unable to talk to anyone, making me a not so social butterfly heh! I love to draw and have taken this up again recently as I have a lot of free time now since I lost my job due to regular sickness.

I had a wisdom tooth removed well over a year ago and since then had trouble with pain through the left side of my face. Only been formally diagnosed a few weeks now and still finding an effective form of pain relief.
I have a 15 yr old son, who as I read somewhere else, was also abducted by aliens at around the age of 12-13 and was replaced with a total moron. I love my son with all my heart, but sometimes I just cannot stand him! I feel so guilty about this. He has turned into such an awful young man. Hes flunked school, no quals at all. And has absolutely no motivation for anything. And yes, sometimes i resent him for being ungrateful and selfish.
