The lost childhood of a little girl

i've been abused by my mother ever since i can remember, i was hurt physically, mentally and emotionally. I was bullied at school, both by the teachers and pupils. i've always been quite slim and small built. my mother was so jealous of my youth. anyway to cut a long story short, i now have osteoporosis, spondylosis and my doctor has put me on Actonel initially but that was making me ill. i am now taking protelos and calcium chews. i'm also taking citalopram for depression, inderal for anxiety, omeprazole for acid reflux. i was hit by a 32 tonne cement lorry in my car 5 years ago, on the way to work. The spondylosis was in my spine before the accident, which is giving the otherside something to argue about as they are refusing to give in. i do want to get better as i cannot return to the work i was doing initially and it will have to be part time. My employer will have to be very sympathetic and understanding, as i have trouble sitting and standing for long periods. I have so many issues going on in my life the defendants are saying i'm using my past history as a scape goat. I just feel that people are not listening to me. My eldest son has tourrettes syndrome, charcot-marie-tooth disease and a kyphosis of the spine, when i tried to find his birth records at our local hospital they couldn't find them. If you can help me in anyway shape or form i would be most grateful. one day i would love my story to go into print, but would need help putting it together. kind regards Angela x
