In 2000 I was in a car accident that left me crippled with pain. Now I have gone through many doctors and countless treatments, but it continues to make my life a living hell and worsen from day to day. I have three young children that I only wish to be a real mother to. But, sadly our days consist of staying around my messy house while our main goal is just to make it through the day.
