I have been battling paranoid schizophrenia since I was 18 I'm going to be 49 Nov. 2nd. I had a nervous breakdown when I was 18 and had shock treatments 11 of them when I was 18 for depression nothing else worked they tried different medications and it was the last resort. I have been hospitalized 5 times and also in 3 rehabilitation centers 2 times in one of them. I have been married to a schizophrenic man but we are divorced for over 10 years now. He has 3 kids by his 1st ex-wife and they have some problems also or did have problems. I see a nurse practicioner at the mental health clinic I go to and a community support worker I am on social security disability income it's for those who haven't worked or worked for less than 7 years and get food stamps HUD and medicaid. And I go to school 3/4 time I'm a non traditional Senior at school and am a General Studies major w/emphasis on Mass Communications and a minor in English. I take my medications regularly and could not afford them w/out medicaid.

Well I will be 49 Nov 2nd and divorced for 11 years on Oct. 30. My ex-husband was abusive he hit or shoved me 3 times and called me 4 letter words because I gained weight. He also smoked and drank and sold a bunch of my jewelry, pawned my v.c.r. and my tv set and he was a real creep. Not only that but he had 3 affairs while we were married and I had a one night stand which I now very much regret and he used methamphetamines and hid it from me while we were married so I divorced him and was very angry and got a settlement 2 years after the divorce decree came out we had a house together which was why I got the money and I had to sign a quit claim deed to get the money. I chose not to have children he had 3 kids by his 1st ex-wife and I'm ex-wife no 2. I have a disability that is heriditary and I didn't want to pass it on to our kids. He has the same disability. I believe Jesus Christ has forgiven me for the affair and for getting divorced and am glad my ex is no longer in my life.
