Happy New Year!I would like to try to answer some questions I've seen asked lately.The answers are very personal which is why I did not post here about personal problems.If you are easily shocked( WARNING ) DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER!!In October my 18 year old son was caught in a situation with my 2 year old granddaughter that led us to kick him out of our home.In the next 2 weeks it came out that my 18 year old son had been molested by the same pervert who molested 2 of my daughters(my oldest daughter testified before a grand jury and put him away for 5 to 10 years he comes up for parole this year)my heart was breaking .I helped support my darling daughter in law and my son her hubby and my sweet granddaughter Jassy(just some of the stress).All of this happened in NY in my dream house which turned into a house of horrors full of nightmares that lasted all day long.I got to where I wasn't sleeping and was so full of hatred towards the pervert I hated the way I felt,I hated my house,and wanted to leave.My hubby who is normally the most even tempered man lost it one morning at 4-4:30 am and slapped our 10 year old VERY HARD it left a mark on his face for 1-1/2 weeks it broke blood vessels and you could see the outline of his hand.I think that was the straw that broke me.I told my hubby to leave and not to come back.I soon realized I would lose the house if I stayed there (I think I would have lost my sanity truly).I packed up my hubby's car as full of the kids clothes and all 4 kids and came to ,TN where my parents live.It became apparent my parents have severe health problems.My Dad worked for Y-12 in Oakridge,TN for over 20 years he was exposed to hepatitis(sp?) and he has diabetes he is 68.My Mother has Lupus she was dx'd one week before Rebekah was born she also has arthritis and she is 78.We wound up in a shelter in downtown Knoxville homeless right before Christmas.My kids have been ill from viruses going around the shelter(Rebekah wore a mask ALL the time there)STRESS,STRESS! I really do believe that what doesn't kill you makes you a stronger person.I have limited acess to the computer at the Inn we are at.I have to credit Tucker for telling me about Levy at Reach 4 the Stars the same day I called she told me to call and the very same day he got us out of the shelter and into the Marriott Residence Inn near cedar bluff exit.Such a beautiful place to spend the New Year.I havn't meant to ignore any questions this has been so painful I just needed some time to heal.I Thank Everyone for the support.I am doing OK I have Gabrial he is 4 ,and Rebekah she is 6,and she is 8,and he is 10.We are trying to find a place to live and are trying to get our lives together and find the Joy in everyday things that we all took for granted just a few weeks ago.I think I have said all I can for now I have been with this list since before it came to Yahoo back at Onelist.I think it was in 99 and I have watched this list grow and become a world wide support so no parent has to feel alone as most of us did when our kids were dx'd.I have shared my experience and my life with so many of you it seems as if I have a huge extended family.I have felt so much Love and Support here that I felt right at home.Thank You All with All my Heart!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Becky, I thought that you were the lady with 8 children. Sometimes I can't remember who's who. I am sorry that things are so difficult for you right now. Your children are lucky to have you. I hope that you find a great apartment and get settled quickley. If you send us your apartment address, we can all send you some of our stuff. Most people have too much stuff anyway. What you don't like, you can give away. I could send you some toys too. Please keep in touch. We care. Gale > Hi Everyone!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 (((((((Becky B.))))))), OMG!I dont know what to say to you...yet I feel compelled to respond.I dont want to tell you i'm sorry because i know its not enough.Your post made tears roll down my cheeks.(unfortunately what is a quality of my character is also a defect of my character...I'm extremely sensitive to others pain, especially the emotional impact of troubling situations).I feel for you; i know this has to be such a hard time for you all.I want to tell you i think you did the right thing, but only you know that.Bless your heart for what you and your loved ones have suffered. Please feel free to email me if you ever feel like talking...or just plain old dumping. WARNING TO YOU!!!!Anything I've evr prayed for that came from the bottom of my heart has ALWAYS been answered(well, bet you can guess one I'm still waiting on), and tonight i pray that you find the courage, strength, and support you deserve to help you and your loved ones adjust...
