I have decided to start a blog. I wanted to start something where I can vent out my feelings, my frustration from the everyday life and maybe even help someone with similar problems. I decided to call it "So Called American Dream". I came to US as an aupair from Czech Republic when I was 19 years old. It was my dream. I decided to stay, I found a great job in mortgage business. Later I got married and lived my American Dream. It didn't last long and soon I had become a victim of domestic violence. I have an Order of Protection against my now ex-husband, who promised to ruin me and my family financially ( so far he has been doing great job at that) and I have no way of protecting myself and my son, because of the american law. So now it is the "So Called American Dream" we are living.
Now I am a single mother of a gluten free child who will be 6 years old this year.. My exhusband told me that if he had known our son was going to be "sick"(as he calls him), he rather wouldn't have a child with me. I have to admit this was a shock as I do not consider my son "sick".(on the other hand he had done worse than just called our son sick, but you can read about that later in my blog) I concider my son as healthy as can be, he is no different from any other child. Yes, he has to be carefull as to what he eats and it was a long way for me to get there where we are now. It took me years of sleepless nights, and no help from my ex-husband at that time but I do not consider my son "SICK".
Actually, my son's allergist told me that we were lucky we had found out about the gluten allergies so early( he was less then 2 years old) that he will be very healthy by staying on this diet since his early age. Everyday I am learning something more about gluten free diet and find out that more and more people are trying to eat Gluten free even when they do not have celliac disease or sensitivity to gluten.
I would like to write about anything that is going on in my life, my everyday problems, my family, my friends, about anyone I might consider interesting enough to write about. I believe I have a lot to say and mostly anyone can find something interesting on my posts. If I find a doctor that I am satisfied with I will blog about him, if I have good lawyer I will definitely blog about him and if there is someone I need to complain about I will do so. I would like to separate my blog into 2 parts. One part is about the gluten free diet, recepies, our baking and cooking experiences with my son, doctors, allergist, dermatologist and anything that involves the care. The other part is my personal life as single mother, our everyday life with my son, what we do, some recommendations for free stuff to do with kids, but also the trouble we are going through, the hard time we are having with american law. I would welcome if you can post your comments, share your own experinces, or maybe just share your advise.
