This person had to learn how to be a kid all over again as he left me because he said he never had a childhood and wanted to be a kid for the rest of his life and you know what i was happy for him because he needed it. To this day i don't know where he is but i hope he's playing hopschotch or climbing a tree!!!!I wish you luck and enjoy you life-you deserve it!!!

I am quite functional for an emotionally abused child - I never use drugs of any kind and am a light drinker. (As an epileptic, I could never drink or handle drugs and, frankly, don't understand what others see in alcohol excess or illegal drug use.) I do know they are having more fun than me though. I am also not a driver because of the epilepsy. I am so tired of walking or taking public transportation everywhere. If I have one of my petite mal seizures in social company, I will mumble when I speak and not make any sense. People who see this think I may be on drugs or have a mental illness other than epilepsy. Since this happens in crowds and when meeting new people, I avoid most social situations. It seem that I just cannot find a win-win situation for myself.
