Why wear a ribbon?

"I wear the Lavender Ribbon for my grandfather who passed away from colon cancer,..." (corvusgurl86)

MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....

thanks MDJunction

There have been a lot of realizations since the last post. Much of my anger really comes from when I was a child before I started kindergarten. My foster mother, great grandma, and I were at a friend of the family's house. Her name was Francis and her adult son Andrew were there. I liked playing with him because he was nice. But he tricked me once and molested me. That isn't the part the angers me. I got away but when I went to tell what happened I started getting yelled at before I could say anything. I got in trouble for ruining my dress and when I pointed to Andrew and started to say what he did I got yelled at again before I could say anything and accused of lying and putting the blame on someone else. When I started to cry, I got smacked.

Just thinking about it is making me upset. I can feel my heart rate raising . my muscles tense and my hands are shaking. It is difficult to type at the moment. But it explains a lot of my anger issues because I mostly get upset when I feel I'm not being heard. I feel like I need to say something and I'm not quite sure what it is. I feel like I need to scream at the top of my lungs to get people's attention but once I do, what is it that I'm trying to explain, share, teach. It kind feel like, "Now that I have it, what do I do with it"?

As for Andrew he passed away before I could do anything. He was mentally handicapped and his body couldn't handle anything. So, the issue was never really resolved. It just seems people have a tendency of not listening to me, ignoring me or just not believing me. People on the internet don't bother to talk to me. Groups I'm a part of don't respond to my posts or questions. People only seen to talk to me because they are asking about my son. That's it. I feel completely invalidated, like I don't matter, unimportant, nonexistant. It seems the only person who acknowledges me is my toddler son or my dad. Even my husband has been acting like I'm a child. I don't think he's been doing it on purpose but he is doing it and it is starting to really bother me.

Sweetie, I'm so sorry you went through that and especially how you were treated when you tried to tell. You have ever right to be angry!! I know im angry too!! If that happened to my daughter I would immedietly run out and murder the person who did it.

I hope you will participate more in the groups smilies/smiley.gif I got worried about you when you weren't around anymore.
