I am a 70-year-old grandmother of two wonderful granddaughters. I grew up the oldest of 5 with an abusive & alcoholic mother. She is 91 now & we don't speak because she was very abusive even into my adulthood. I was married for 25 years to my late ex-husband, who was very abusive & controlling. My oldest son won't speak to me & blames me for leaving. My younger son & I are close to me & near me here. After the divorce, I was drugged, raped & beaten by another man. I still struggle with ptsd, mental, emotional & especially physical chronic pain from the injuries & can't work anymore. I am struggling financially because of this & need a job. I can't lift or stand long anymore without extreme pain. I love my animals, reading, writing, sewing, my friends, family, and baking.
