I was a college student before the accident. Now I'm just trying to get through everyday. I was shot 3 times in October in a random drive by on the interstate. The people were never found. I can walk now, but I have a rod in my leg, can't feel most anything below my knee, and so many other things. I can't run because of the pain, and both my knee and ankle are locked. I'm trying really hard to make it through each day, but not a day goes by that I don't shed a tear. I know I'm lucky to be here, but sometimes I feel like it's not worth it. I can't look at myself anymore because of the scars from all the surgeries. I don't like going out any where anymore. I used to be very outgoing (not the party type) and loved hanging out with friends, playing tennis, riding atv's, riding horses, and so many other things.

Well I am new to this site and not really sure how it works but I am sure I will figure it out soon.

This is the beginning of whats going to be a long, very dramatic, stressful and draining battle but I have been given no other choice. After 9 years I have finally had eNough. I am in a horrible abusive relationship that is just getting worse and is now effecting my son. I cannot continue to allow my child to live like this so I am doing what I need to do to get him into a healthy environment where he can just be a kid and not worry about things that he shouldnt even know about. I have no money or family to help me get away from this situation (which is also why I have stayed for so long) but I am hoping that this site will guide me to available resources or options that I may have and do not know about. Maybe someone that has gone through a similar situation is able to give me some insight and or hope that I made the right decision and that things will get better.
