I understand disability wishes. My kids grew up with a disabled mom as I have been disabled since my teens. My oldest son is 100% disabled and my youngest...we don't know for sure if his adult life will go as hoped. My oldest lived through an abusive first 5 years of life from my ex idiot, and then the one man who loved them as his own and treated them well screwed up and put himself in prison 1000 miles from where we lived and they saw him twice since he left their lives when they were children. We were tossed from a very good income and everything we could ever want...to deep poverty. We came from deep poverty to living at just poverty level but my boys grew up a pretty had life and I have one son who will never really grow up...he will remain forever a child.
I remember the days of rice and beans or crackers and peanut butter for dinner because that was all I could afford. Holiday and Birthday presents stopped when daddy went to jail. Thankfully my boys grew up learning some valuable lessons though and I'm betting yours will too. (more)
I HAD SEVERE LYPHOEDEMA IN MY LEGS SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THE INSIDE OF MY RIGHT THIGH WAS THE SIZE OF A WATERMELLON, AND THE OTHER, JUST A BIT SMALLER. MY HUSBAND WRAPPED MY LEGS TIGHT, LIKE A MUMMY, FOR MONTHS...AND THAT TOOK CARE OF THAT. HAVE YOU TRIED CONSISTENT DAILY WRAPPING? MASSAGING THE WATER OUT, ETC? I ACTUALLY WENT TO A LYPHOEDEMA CLINIC IN MY AREA, BUT AS I SAID , MY HUSBAND HAD TO WRAP MY LEGS BECAUSE THE SPECIALIST COULD NOT GET THE WRAPS TO STAY ON!
I have a kid who didn't wan to wait till he was 18 like his brother. In our home tats are a rite of passage. We get their first one when they turn 18. Well my youngest didn't want to wait and he put some stupid stuff on his body. Thank goodness they can be covered with short sleeves and socks but still...yeah..know what you are dealing with. We want to have his dressed up so he doesn't look like such a dork. (more)

Love the honesty!
Nope...I'm at 96% cuz I don't have enough questions in my head to make up surveys
