When I was 13, she was 20 and her husband was 21 and A good role model for me, he was basically like a Father figure to me; They eventually had kids of there own. They were too young to be like a brother and sister to, however they're dad died when the boy was 5 and the girl was 3; so I always swore I would look out for them. I was a good Electrician and work hard and alot of it, so I always had money and bought them presents on Christmas, birthdays, clothes and glasses(for the girl); whatever they asked for pretty much, even when I got laid off on the 17th of Nov. I always saved up money and tried to be responsible. On 11/29/09, I stopped by my next door nieghbors to check on her kids, girl 15; boy 17. (I wasn't aware the mom's drunk boyfriend had just finished beating her).I helped her (mom) out the door and put her and the kids in my truck, I walked around to get in the driver side and he (drunk boyfriend) hit me from behind with a 2X8 Salt treated board ( I gave him enough wood from odd jobs to redo the floorjoists and sheeting) Anyway I woke up on life support, it crushed my face and head onto my brain. I thought that was the worst then I began having seizures, slurred speech; and also memory/nerve damage, I guess where I was beaten with the board while I was out cold, I was hit in the back quite a few times; enough to rupture L1-L5 disc's.
I went to apply for disability and where I only worked for other companies (instead of myself), for 4 yrs and 9 months; I was told I didnt have enough "credits", of course you must work a minimum of 5 yrs on taxable income (I didn't know this when I was younger)! To top it off I was told by the police they couldn't arrest the guy because he is a "Confidential Informant in an important ongoing case", well that case is over! Meanwhile, my bank account is overdrawn, can't even afford to see a Doctor for pain, much less a Neurologist for anti-seizure medicine(Dilantin 100mg). I have yet to hear from SSI or medicare/medicaid, I have no income other than 200.00 a month in food stamps and my step father who had a planned retirement and worked for this country building defense weapons is having to file bankruptcy because of paying my doctor visits and persrciptions to keep me alive. I feel like nothing because I can't even help pay the $1077.00 lawyer fee for him to file, and I would do without food to take that load of his shoulders, I still wouldn't hesitate to do it all over, and yes the neighbor is still there threatening me and beating on his girlfriend. Someone please point me towards some help and programs, I would love to go to school now, even if I can't work as an Electrician; just too help my dad and get to see doctors and pay for perscriptions.
