      A little about me...well...

      My life has NEVER been easy but I have ALWAYS found away to see the brighter side to life. I had to grow up quick because I didnt have a happy home life as a young child.My mom was a single mom who struggeled to raise us & she made many mistakes along the way, but we all survived.I had to be "Mom" to my younger sibblings & cook & clean when I was 5years old because many times my mom couldnt afford a sitter & she worked 2 jobs plus went to school.Well I wont go into my childhood to much as that is a part of my life my brain has learned to block out.

      My whole life I have been discriminated against.When I was 16 I moved away from home & lived with a friend whom already graduated & was married.Her & her husband adopted me,her parents gave me a job,I did my best to keep my grades as good as I could.(Its hard to do when the teachers would sabatoge my work or grade me poorly,because they didn't like me.)I was diagnosied with stage 2 cervical cancer & was told I couldnt have kids & that it be a miricale if I did because I have 80%chance of miscarrage in the first trimester 15% chance to carry a child to second trimester then misscarry.Then 3months before my 17th Birthday the state stepped in & took me & placed me in my grandparents custody,because the school LIED & said I wasn't showing to school.I stuck it out until I was 17, then I quit school 2days after my 17th birthday, because life was just to hard being a minority.I had no interest in what the schools were teaching me,because I was bullied & picked on by Teachers, the Super intendenant, the Principal, and even the school Cop.I didn't have many friends in school because I usually just kept to myself.Well after quitting school I started getting my GED, but the teacher there started to treat me like I was invisible so I quit that. I turned 18 & moved in with a boyfriend & had an instant family.Well that summer my youngest instant child passed away.Shortly after that boyfriend & I split up. I got a job and became a workaholic as a way to deal with the hurt. I turned to drinking as a way to forget the pain,but slowly that was throwing me into a deppression.My 19th birthday God had me arressted for underage drinking,this opened my eyes to see there was more to life. I got hurt at work 2 months later and was told by doctors I couldnt work any more,until my health was taken care of.I lost my home 2months after loosing my job & moved in with the guy who soon would father my child. Things were great,we both seemed happy,he got me to go back to school(which he did push me to keep up with my studies & I finally graduated June2010),then I found out I was pregnant January 2009 and I was already 3months along...He wanted nothing to do with the idea of being a father,I was Happy,but slowly became deppressed because he wouldnt enjoy my happiness with me.Well then we moved because the place we were in wasnt safe for a child,so we got a nicer bigger place.Then I gave birth to my child,life was swell...then problems started.We started argueing all the time,He played head games where he would twist my words and make everything my fault.HE started treating my child like crap.There was no love when He would come home from work he would push our child aside grab some food & go to his friends.Then one day he decided to pretend to be a father and took my child outside to play.Then my child endured 2nd degree burns from him.He took my phone from me & refused to allow me to take my child to the hospital he made me treat the burns with aloe and bandaides. It was the next day while he was at work I was able to get my child out of the house to some place safe. my child out of the house dgWe split up shortly after which was about a week before my childs first birthday ONLY to get back together so that no one would know any better at my childs birthday party.Two weeks later he moved out again,this was the beginning to my downward spiral to rock bottom. I applied for foodstamps,cash assistance,HUD, I did everything I could think of to try to keep from becomming homeless,I knew I had 2weeks before I would become Homeless.I would call daily and still do this day I have no help.I became homeless.I finally soaked up my Pride & went to a shelter,just to be tossed from one shelter to another.Then I was offered a temporary home by a lady who works at a shelter I was at.I receantly lost my home to a flood.I am still trying to get help but still no luck,every place I try is the same "No funding". I am thankfull I found Aidpage,I have met a few VERY kind friends.Please read my blogs for a little more about me as well as for Helpfull Information that can Help you & me make money by helping each other.I have found that keeping faith in God helps to get thru the hard times.I'm thankfull I have a great friend who helps me to remember to keep faith.

      Well that is a little about me in a quick summary.I have many health problems both phsyical and mental,but I have faith God put me here for a reason so I will get thru these problems. I am a single mother of a 15month old & we survived a life of domestic violance. I am a good listener, a horrible speller, but if you need someone to listen I am willing.I have been thru so much in my short life,that I am very wise for my years and I have been told I can offer good advice & I am pretty knowledgable.I am Native American, I am a survivor of Domestic Violance, a survivor of Childhood abuse, and I am a single mother.If anyone needs a friend I'm just a private message away.

         in response to PittsburghMomma...   That is great thing you are being taken care of by an understanding doctor. I can understand about not wanting to talk to anyone after going through all that you went through. You are welcome and I was heart broken to hear he passed on.
        Take care and come back when you can.
        Prayers still go out to you .

         in response to Starshine...   Very mixed emotions still alot of confuession. ha my health, well the good thing about the greivance center is they have a doctor that checks you out. Ive been wearing a holter monitor and many stress test, this whole ordeal with having LK and him being in surgery after surgery and his passing has taken its tol on my health, the doctor said my heart cant take much more stress. I have been on herbal remedies treating depression,Im glad the doctor is great and doesnt push unessisary pills. Because when I came I wouldnt talk,i locked myself in my room refuesed to eat for 2 days on day 3 they 302'd me to suicide watch...ugh so imbarrissing. Now they understand that i wasnt suicidale that was my dealing with saddness. that was....grrr...Im still shooken up and feeling traumatised by that experiance.
        Thank you for prayers and concernes!

        Father God, I ask that you comfort PittsburgMomma during her time of such difficult sorrow. Give her strength and minister to her broken heart. Embrace her in your arms and ease her pain. Bless her with your peace, and guide her with each step. Father, please, take care of her and allow her to experience your presence while she walks through this valley. In the name of Jesus, I pray. AMEN

         in response to PittsburghMomma...   I wish we could do it by mail still or call them. Makes it harder when they close down local office and have to go 40 minutes to another DMV. Gal here lost hers and mailed a temporary. But when mine was stolen in 2009 had to go in by then. People sick with flu didn't get in. Thank you and I hope your son get better really soon.

         in response to Starshine...   the middle frosting that holds the 2 layers is very good, its more cream cheesey like than frosting like.(if that makes any sense.)Its so good I didnt believe it was carrot cake at first I thought it was maybe a german cake or something that had nuts.
        I hope you have a good night too.

         in response to Starshine...   Im getting ready to have a piece of carrot cake. I dont even like carrot cake but this one is real good. it is double layered and has alot of cream chease frosting and nuts...A lady made it (or maybe bought it) but she brought it in for church and it was sent home with my neighbor, and they sent the rest down to me last night.
