Hi EJ I hope to break the cycle of abuse in my family.The one sibling i do get along with. My older brother moved to Germany and says as long as my mom is still alive he won't move back to the Usa. Because she abused him and my older sister to. But out of all the kids i think i got it worst. Because i was not prefect because of the Epilepsy.Plus i was not popular in school or with guys growing up. My 2 siblings where popular students in high school. So my mom laid off them a bit about some stuff.But i kept to myself and had just a few close friends.My mom at times still tries to verbally abuse me over the phone. But i at times hung up on her or tell her mom if u are just gonna verbally abuse me don't call me. So at times i don't hear from her for weeks at a time. I have a big fear of telling anyone about me having Epilepsy. Because of all the abuse i got growing up. Plus i don't have bad seziures. I don't drive.But i have worked the majority of my adult life and am pretty independent..Last year i volunteered at Special Olympics taking pictures.People thought that i was like one of the social workers for the Epilepsy association at the Special Olympics. When folks found out i was a client not a social work. They made comments like you don't look like you have Epilepsy. I walked off pissed off. WTF is someone with Epilepsy supposed to look like?Those where profossinals in the disability field that made that comment.So i felt judge by people who should no better than to act that way.
