Vicky Betancourt I am physically disabled and suffering from P.T.S.D. caused by Domestic Abuse thanks to my husband. The abuse is so bad I have lost my idenity. I don't know how to get it back. He refuses to give me enough money to pay my bills and buy food. I am lost and beaten down. I am NUMB. There is no help for people with disabilities.

Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund Madonna uses the R-word freely in Rolling Stone this month: “I’ve never been a good judge of what things are going to be huge or not. The songs that I think are the most retarded songs I’ve written, like ‘Cherish’ and ‘Sorry,’ a pretty big hit off my last album, end up being the biggest hits,” she tells RS. ” ‘Into the Groove’ is another song I feel retarded singing, but everybody seems to like it.”
