Thanks everyone for your posts. I apologize for the delay in replying as I was traveling all day.

Bussiness1: in reply to your questions

1) I identify myself as such since I know that I was born deaf and will be forever have trouble socially no matter how I can hear, and talk like a normal person. ( I don’t communicate via sign language)

2) Most of my life, my diet consists of just mainly peanut butter and bread for breakfast, lunch and supper. I know it is not normal but I guess it is because my taste buds are much stronger then normal people have and as such can’t handle regular food. I have nutritional supplements that makes up for the nutrition that my body is missing.

3) Yes, due to events that has happened to me, I have learned not to really trust anyone, so I am not as frum as I was before.

The Goq: I do trust my therapist to a certain degree however I cannot talk to her about some issues as she has power legally to ruin my life. ( I hate when people have so much power that they don’t realize that the I want to have a say in the matter and to believe me instead of automatically listening to people way older then me).

rob1234: I also relay on lipreading for communication. I agree with you that reading that book is not the correct method at this point. I would love if I can contact you privately since I know we both probably went thru situations in our lives that we don’t want the general public to know. Thanks!
