- About me:
- Ok so here I go....Im 22 years old and have a 3 yr old daughter with stage 4 cancer, I was married to her dad when I was 18, he was very abussive mentally and physically. In Aug of 07 I got beat up one last time and he got arrested for domestic abuse. For the last year and a half I have been in a battle with him. I started the divorce gave the lawyer 900 dollars and then couldnt keep paying my lawyer because I lost my job so I never got to go to court. Aug 12 08 (my birthday) I found out my 3yr old Jenna had stage 4 cancer and was only given a 10% chance of making it. We spent 59 days in the hospital she has been out for 6 weeks now. it has made it impossible to go to work when you have a sick child that needs constant attention and medicine through her picc line every 6hours. I lost my house and had to move in with a realative. It has been hard. Im hoping for a change in luck and thought maybe if I stop thinking about myself and how bad I think my life is and thinking about others more things might change for the better

If there was a medal for understatement, I would vote you the winner.
If there was a medal for hanging tough, I would vote you the winner.
I wish you and your daughter all the best, and the strength to see that change you are looking for.
