I wish that was true!
I am as deaf as you are blind, life goes on, you are doing alright because the state pays for your PA but we have to fund ours privately.
perhaps a taxation on family and couples is needed. Anyone with a family who are willing to transport to them for visitation or who have a partner they have not driven away needs to pay more heavily. Perhaps then and only then will a certain poster be happy. How very dare you exist with a sensory disability and not be at deaths door or threating to commit suicide, or live a miserable existence.
Why do you not tell others you hope they come to harm? I thought it was par for the course after browsing on here because it is all I see. My mother in law, had to retrain following her blindness after contracting meningitis from my child, suffering far worse than my child did physically and emotionally. She does not get any help, she retrained as a counsellor and gets recommendations as she picks up on vocally what others miss, every sigh, every pause and so worked following her disabilities.
Forgive my shortness but as I am watching Red Nose Day and crying uncontrollably I cannot believe what here in the UK we consider to be poor!Tomorrow is the most important thing in life0 -

Individuals do that not those who reside in Number 10. I fight very hard to ensure that those with Mental Health issues are recognised. They are as real as those in a wheelchair, yet often scorned or unrecognised. There true opposition is those who claim stress for a comment at work, who trivialise the horrors that people go through with true conditions.
The reality is there are people locked indoors with little or no life, no support as sometimes family do not acknowledge this or feel a kick up the backside and a talking to will make them healthy. They are called frauds, liars and at times by those that propose to love and care for them.
The true cost of our society is not paying some council tax but those whose families do not support them, those whose families seem to think that the state need to pay and absolve them of emotionally, physical or financial support. We have gone very wrong as a society at times.Tomorrow is the most important thing in life0 -
In nannytones defense maybe she is getting abit short with people because she has to explain herself in every thread about this subject?
Not being funny but every thread about this subject turns into her making a comment, same posters come along and make the same digs about how she spends her money etc etc and her constantly having to defend herself, its quite uncomfortable to read actually. If you dont get on just ignore each other but it totally takes away from the subject of the thread and just turns nasty.0 -

yes they are just as important! as are those with sensory disabilities.

i hold the higher moral ground as i campaign for everyone that is outside the ainstream0 -

To be fair, time and time again nannytone turns these threads into a diatribe about her own situation. Invariably the OP falls by the wayside. I don't think anybody doubts that nannytone has been dealt a bum deal but spewing bile at all and sundry on here isn't terribly constructive.0
