MDJunction to me

1magicman"Before i found MDJ i was in the deepest darkest part of my life after my abduction. I wanted to feel safe. I wanted that sense of being a normal person.Finding MDJ and the people with in it has steered me down the correct path into the light of hope. The feeling of hope that i was not alone,the feeling of hope of understanding,and the feeling of hope to move on. I never give up hope." (1magicman)

Looking for Peace of Mind

I plan on describing to the best of my ability the trial I go through to not only put my anger in its place but to find truely who I am.


Return to reality

Oct 24 2010

I did get my memories back, much to the expence of my sanity. I remember all the things I didn't want to remember all in one swoop. That sucked big time because I was useless for about 2 hours.But, I am back to normal.

 We did find out recently that our son is autistic. It's not a bad thing just means I have to do things differently. It does mean that he will for sure be home schooled. Samual will be teased by schoolmates if he's forced to go to school.

But, we finall reaped what we sewed by standing up for ourselves to our caseworker. We applied for an appeal about our benefits being cut off entirely. It was funny because we had everything needed and then some for the hearing and our caseworker, the government official, didn't. We were cool, calm and collected, he wasn't.

He did cut our benefits again but since the outcome was the same as before the hearing it automatically went to as adminstation official to review our caseworkers' outcome. Turns out hubby was right, Stanely Halloway was screwing us over. According to the administation we got all of our benefits back including full coverage of medical insurance. This makes us very happy. Plus, we have a new caseworker, BONUS!!!! The funnier thing is that we learned that Mr. Halloway is God-fearing and completely disapproving of the LGBT community. We don't mind the church going so much (we aren't church-goers ourselves but we respect other's belief systems)but its not supposed to determine the outcome of our benefits. Plus, hubby is a classic case of GID (Gender-Identity-Disorder). He had to bring in the official diagnosis to the work program that helps with finding jobs. This info automatically is put in his file, plus he's working at a LGBT friendly bar/club. We didn't have too much trouble until his job at the club was reported.

Discrimination in the workplace is illegal, jerkwad!!
