I am a single mom of two boys.  We moved to Arizona 2 years ago to escape family abuse.  Since then and most recently we have celebrated a conviction in the case where the abuser received 80 years in connection with abuse to me and my children.  When the verdict was handed down it felt like a 16 year prison sentance was over for me. I am however forever alone outcast by members of my blood relatives who contuine to be blinded by the darkness that has emcompossed this family for years.  Since I have been here I have improved my self in several ways like losing 80 lbs. and maintained a safe loving enviorment for myself and my children. I however have really bad teeth the hurt me on a daily basis.  For months and months I have tried to hide the pain behind the pretty smile I knew was fading because I can't afford to have it maintained.  With my new found freedom I don't want to find myself in another type of prision of self esteem. Please hear my plea.
