Foot Solutions, the first step towards pain-free feet. Another new year, and yet, I know deep down inside, this year won't be any better than the last. I'm 38, and I have yet to have a good year, or even a good month, in my entire life. Matter of fact, 2025 is starting off to show me that this year, things may turn worse than ever.

I try to find the strength and the will every day to carry on, to mask my pain so that I can be strong for those around me, but it's becoming harder by the day for me to even do that. We can start from the beginning, a bridged version of course, because to write everything would take me forever, and honestly, I don't think anyone would have the patience to read it. My childhood was stolen from me. My father's first attempt on my life that I remember, because of the traumatic acts that happened, was when I was three.

He locked my mother and I in a trailer and lit it on fire. We got out, my mom got me in her car, front passenger seat and we started to back out as a steel tool chest snagged the window over my face from my father throwing it. That was the first real memory of my father. After my mom went back to him a few months later, things didn't get any better. For the next 13 years, my father locked me in my room, I was not allowed to cross the bedroom threshold. I was given a ketchup bottle full of water every day, and that was to last me until bedtime. If I needed to go to the bathroom, I had to wait for my father to pass by my room and get his permission. I wasn't allowed toys, or to talk to my

mother, talk to myself, make sound effects. I was allowed books, paper and pencils. My father, who claimed disability by the time I was six, spent his days trying to catch me breaking one of these rules. He would sneak down the hall, stand there and wait for extended periods. If he couldn't catch me doing something, he would come up with a reason to punish me. My punishments were typically severe beatings with foreign objects that would leave bruising, blood blisters, and in some cases, lacerations. I would be kept from school until I healed. When I wasn't in my room, my father would have me on our property in the middle of nowhere cutting fields on my hands and knees with scissors, pulling star thistle bare-handed.

He would make piles of rocks taller than me with his tractor, then give me two five-gallon buckets and then I would fill them to the top, because if I didn't, I was beaten. Them I would carry both buckets at the same time about an acre, make a new pile. I would move then from one side of the property to the other, all day, every day, weather did not matter, from dawn till dark. Other times, my punishment was. to stand in the corner from about 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., break was given at lunch and dinner. Or writing, literally, one million times a phrase that he felt I needed. I got in a fight at school when I was about 8. It was right after Christmas. I begged the teacher not to send a letter

home. I didn't want my dad to take my presents away and hit me. Needless to say, they still sent the letter. Not long after that, at nine years old, I decided to to run away from home. I lived in the middle of nowhere and figured I'd live like the Indians did. I made it a few miles, chasing a few deer and squirrels along the way thinking I could get them to eat, and then the police found me. They took me back to my parents. I was beaten senseless and stood in the corner for ten hours a day. About this time a worker from child protective services showed up unannounced. My father rushed me to my room, kicked my footprints out of the push carpet, an investigation was launched. My mother and father denied all wrong songs, saying I was a liar

and a troubled child. I was put on three years of probation, made to pick up cans along the roadways to pay a fine, I was put in scared straight where they locked me in the county jail and allowed inmates to yell and scream at me, threaten me, etc. Mealtime, I was fed separate from my family, I sat at a bar with my back to the dinner table. My dad would feed his cat at food next to me. The cat's fall would be in my plate, in my face, but I couldn't tell her no, I couldn't move her, or her overwhelming smelling at food, and I could ask anyone to move her for me. Bedtime was at 5.30 p.m. I wasn't allowed to see my extended family such as aunts, grandparents, etc. If they came over, which was really rare, I stayed in my room with strict instructions to not speak. If someone was to speak to me, I was to answer, but carefully, and not engage in extended conversation. If I displeased him with my interaction, he would give me a look and I knew when they left, what was in store for me.

My mother left my father many times during my childhood, but each time went back just a few weeks or months later. One of the times when she left him, I picked...

Food Solutions, the first step towards pain-free feet. I picked up kickboxing unbeknownst to my father. When I was 13, she left him again. This time she stayed gone for over a year. During this time, I wanted to find a job in the small town I lived in. I wanted to save up for a car when I was 16. I was now just barely 14. I got on my bike and

ride around town, hanging flyers and asking around. As I rode along the side of Highway 99, a red pickup hit me in my chest, then drove halfway up my legs, threw it in reverse and backed over me. I stayed conscious the whole time, unsure of if I was going to survive. Everything was broken in my left side except a few ribs, my back or my neck. My left foot had all the flesh and muscle torn off, 368 stitches, inside and out and the possibility of a skin graft to put it together. My right arm was snapped in half, multiple broken bones on the right side, but not as bad as my left. I was bedridden for nearly six months, in a wheelchair for a year. I was told I would never play a sport again, run again,

or even walk without a sever limp. But I proved them all wrong. Shortly after I was walking again, I got caught by my mother with a Playboy magazine in my room. She wasn't happy. She called my father who lived a few miles away. The next morning while I slept, my mother had my father come over. He burst in my room, drug me out of bed, the me down, which really hurt from the injuries I was still recovering from. He then proceeded to throw me out of my mother's house telling me to never be seen again. I was just over 15. I or some clothes in my backpack, hugged my cat goodbye and started walking down the dirt road. I didn't know where to go or what to do. I went to the elementary school, they were closed for some sort of

of break, and I sat on the tables outside, wondering. Then I saw a big red plastic turtle-shaped sandbox, its shell was the lid. It was getting late, dark would be here shortly, so I went to the sandbox, opened the lid, curled up in the sand, pulled the lid over me and fell asleep for the night. The next morning, I heard voices outside my sandbox. They sounded familiar. There's so much rugby on Sports Exeter from Sky.
