About my situation 

This is such a long story. I've been running from myself for 50yrs. And want this cycle too finaly stopping. Yet so personal and making it public. I had a disfunctional family, beatings, verbal abuse etc. the norm I guess in those days. I have had a very interesting life in playing the field and confussed for so long. Being Bi for so long and fianly stopped that deniel. In the process i caught hiv then after all this time, at age 24 then turned into aids for 24 yrs. In this time I've tried for so long to help my mother to understand. But being the way society is and hatefull and almost get murdered over it it has been a very scary life. So each and everytime I set myself up when something scary happens to my health and call her, she's hatefull. IT HURTS EACH TIME. But I must be a gulent for punishment. Someone I've helped raise three other family members and taking care of her swollen face from my father that left us six when I was twelve. As of the April 29th 08 I got it again. Even thou I called in fear of surgery on the 1st of May 08. Her hatefull self did it again leaving me crying for two days. Then I got my sister in the middle of it, who is the only one that excepts me unconditional. I hurt her cus of what I said. I don't want to know when her mother dies nor do i want her to know when i do. And at this time I could stop the medicines that I'm so sick in tired of taking, to stop them to make this happen quicker, I mean after 24 yrs I'm sick and tired of it. I reallly want to divorce my mother and change my last name and want to know if anyone could help me in a direction. Please. There's nothing more than what I want is to take it and shuve something in her face to hurt her as much as she has done it to me. She's the something that was always missing from my life even when I was younger she was never there working and the bar is were she was. She taught me to clean, cook and babysit at age twelve the year my x cop father left for another family in another state. After our names were in the paper. My dad was always in the paper. Then friends would ask why aren't we moving in embarresment I ran. That's how I knew I was safe and ran and ran all my life and so tired. this is embarresing just to do this. Yes I've had to stop my antidepressents so abuption of it has caused this emotional time.

Baxter,

I am so sorry for the hurt you have endured throughout your life.  I am a nurse and have seen first hand how the disease and stigma of HIV/AIDS affects not only the person who has been diagnosed, but also everyone who surrounds them.

Your story sounds so familiar to me.  While working in ICU, I became close friends with a couple who had been married for 6 yrs., and had a small son.  They too were ICU nurses and  wonderful Christian people.  As it turned out he finally admitted to himself he was gay, they divorced.  She became a homophobic, he bitter and promiscuous (his words).

He struggled with guilt/fear regarding his lifestyle as his religion was very important to him as was his family.  His mother, father and brothers disowned him, he disowned them.  His one sister stood by him to the end, as did many of his friends.  Just thinking about it makes me want to cry.

I am still in contact with his sister, but we have never really discussed the dynamics of how this has affected her relationship with the rest of the family now that he is gone.  I do know that he was loved by many, but most importantly, by God.

Name change??  I don't have an answer for that.  But I do have an answer for hatred......please do not let your mothers mistakes and misunderstanding of true love destroy your heart and soul more than it already has.  Give your burdens over to God, you have carried them far too long.

You can not control how your mother or anyone else acts or feels, only yourself.  Whenever I am down, I think of the 23 Psalm and the Serenity prayer, both have carried me through many bad days.

Please do not go off your medications.  You must somehow find peace so you will be able to enjoy life to the fullest.  Wrap your arms around the little boy (you) who has been so deeply hurt, give him the love and comfort he needs so he can at last be happy and secure.

My prayers are with you.  I'm sending you a big hug and smile.  God bless.
