    Ok, let's start with 3 years ago. Separated from my husband of 17 years, I met a man I fell completely in love with. After a month of dating, my moms back pain became worse, the second month after dating, she woke up unable to move her legs. Diagnosed with cancer, less then 6 months to live. The tumor severed her spinal cord, paralyzing her from the waist down. (Im shortening this due to space). Dad started drinking. I moved in to help. Boyfriend started acting jealous, going to bars. Changing mom, medications, no sleep at all. Mom passed away, dad is now full blown alcoholic, threatening suicide, cannot leave him. Received divorce papers a week after passing. Lose my job. Custody taken by husband, child support demanded from me...remember...no job. Husband has the house, business, cars, camper, boat, all of it. Ok, now..boyfriend problems, beat up on physically. Dad meets probation hooked, a week later moves her in, buys her a car, gives her the house, money, kicks me out. Homeles now. Move in with abusive boyfriend. A week later, 20 year old son has a car accident in my car...next day receive a phone call from now ex husband about such news. Son med life flown to mcv, Richmond with brain injury, in critical care icu. Unsure if he will live. Missing section of skull. Get temp job to pay for gas to go see him everyday. Month in icu, moved to reg brain injury floor after a couple days he wakes up finally. Brain injury minimal, but detected. Two weeks in rehab. Both kids birthday during fb this time. Son now 21, daughter 11. Before son gets out of hospital to come home, dad is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Make amends with dad. Ex husband runs away from our son, leaving me to care for him. Cannot work, requires 24 hour supervision. Loose job again. A year for sons recovery of brain neurons. No insurance.. dad moves out, family fights over his things, talks about each other. boyfriend breaks my face. Do not want to live with abusive boyfriend, no where to go. No job, no car, Christmas is here..no gifts to give my daughter, family wont help, worried about food. What would u do?

    Please don't take offense to this or think that I am making a joke out of your situation but can you think of anyone at all that may have placed a curse on you? Anyone that is surperstitious or has mentioned tarot cards or is openly into magic(perhaps your ex or someone he knows?). I ask because sure, in life bad shit happens... but in your situation you are getting hammered from every possible direction and with a sort of timing that doesn't allow you to recoop or rest from earlier tragedies. I'm not saying any of this to add to your anxiety but if you think this may could actually be happening to you send me a message and I can make some suggestions and will give you a free private reading as well. Again I'm not saying that you are in fact cursed but I beleive such things can happen. My apologoes if you do not and are offended in any way by this post.

    www.hotpeachpages.net has info on domestic violence.

    they can probably set you up with a shelter

    this thread may have some other resources

    http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=408548&f=383


    you also might want to look into some legal aid

    you might be able to get some money from your ex, or you may have been entitled to inheritance from your mom that you didn't get.

    you've had a rough road, hope things can get better soon!

    Thank you all so much!! Just overwhelmed and stressed beyond belief. As to the curse, yes, I believe someone has, who, when, why, or where i don't know, but i have major blackness following me, and I'm afraid its going to be the end of me. My self love, good heart, strength, faith, and beliefs pull me up...but wow, its tough!! And honestly, I'm sure its not over yet..

    You have a right to be overwhelmed and stressed, most people wouldn't go through what you have in a lifetime and you seem to have been going through everything in a relatively short time frame..........all I can wish you is a better and more stable future.

    I've sent you a vm and you have not responded. I will consider that you are no longer interested in my help until you say otherwise.

    VM means visitor message not voicemail if that's what you meant by your phone being off. Okay well, you can't take pm's yet and your internet time sounds unpredictable. I do not wish to go back and forth in such a manner about such personal issues this way. I will give you a link to a forum that specializes in your kind of problem. They can point you to some rootworkers who can help you if you so choose to go that route.

    Contact state social services, pronto. e7m8 had good advice - use it. You need to get away from that boyfriend somewhere you can be protected from him, and you need legal services. As a person with no job and no ability to hold down a job because of son's needs and family support torn away, you need state and charity help to get to a point where you can take care of yourself again.

    This is a horrendous situation, and it will take every ounce of strength you can muster, but you can get through this. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES allow your mind to stray the slightest bit down any path of negativity and despair. Take deep breaths, calm your mind, and keep all thoughts focused on the positive steps you need to take to get through this. You will, and you'll be a tremendously stronger person when you're done, able to live more effectively and to help others in trouble. My prayers are with you.

    Damn. There,but for the grace of-----------. Find a womens shelter and take a time out with others that are doing the same. Very sorry you or anyone has this much trouble.

    And what Zengizmo said.

    I was advised by the social worker at the hospital that I cannot get help with my son because he is 21. A legal adult. As for thw shelter, I have a household full of stuff from my parents that i will not leave with him. the sarcasim, and hatefulness from him lately is off the charts. going to bed..

    ^ the domestic violence services can give you counseling, even if you don't go to a shelter.

    they may be able to help in ways that you don't anticipate

    i'm sorry. the best you can do is continue to roll with the punches, as it seems you have. i send my sympathy, i'm so sorry. i know these things aren't my fault, but that doesn't mean i'm not sorry. i wish only good things for you. perhaps someday you will be rewarded for the difficult things you've had to go through ):
