I am a 36 year old mother of a 10 year old boy. I have been married to his father since 2001. I had abad accident in 1996 that left me with minimal use of my right side.
 It's hard for me attimes to control my anger with my family. It's like my son figures what will set me off the easiest. My husband, who is 10 years older, seems to want to treat me as achild. I am crying out for some help on want to do about handling my problems.
 I do love mylife. My son and myhusband. What helps me stay alittle sain with life are my animals. Mainly my horses. My accident was on aracehorse in 1996. What got me back on my feet were my horses.
 I try so hard with things, but I feel like afailure attimes. All I want to do is curlup in aball and hide!
 Life has really been good to me for the most part. I didn't die in '96 when they thought I might. I have my son, husband, family, and so on.
 I slapped my son yesturday. He's been actting up in school, more than most kids his age, not telling his father & I the truth on things, and just being disruptive on just about everything. Being akid. It's things he know better in doing. No excuse for what I did. I've been tearing myselfup inside for what I did. I  need to get some help. That's why I'm on this web site in seach of help.
