in pain too

[Guest guest]

Boy I know what your talking about...work hard to become a pc technician,

microsoft certified professional worked twice as hard as any of the men to end

up with less money and even less respect. I kept everything going while my

super and 2 of the techs I trained...(yes I was even training new men to find

out after 3 years they were starting out with more money than I was making after

3 years even tho I was a single mom with 6 kids!) I was hurt first in a very

bad car accident while the driver even went to court so he didn't have to pay

the large ticket he got...the only thing the judge even asked me if " I " had MY

insurance paid up. After 6 months of physical therapy I took a job as a pc tech

so I could support my children better. After 5 years of very heavy lifting and

another car accident on the job I was told not to come back to work until I was

100 percent and I lost my house and everything else. SSD lost my

application..which took me 2 years to find out that they couldn't find my

initial applic. and I had to reapply and lost 2 years of payment...I am trying

to fight for that tho. It finally went through in feb but we only get a total

of 978.00 a month for me and five kids. (My 18 year son left home and hates me

because he doesn't really believe I live with chronic pain and how dare I loose

the house and do this to him!!!) Life really sucks...I can never remember a

time I did not live in pain...if it was not abuse by my parents, it was abuse by

my husband and then my other couple of long term relationships. Just as soon as

I got smart enough to live by myself, this back and neck injury happened. You

finally get to the point that you won't let anyone abuse you anymore and you

have the world treating you like you are a piece of crap. I guess I'm really

bitter right now and not the best person to lend support to anyone but at least

you know you are not alone.
