LameWolf, I don't know if you have used other forums for support, but I use a good Disability forum, OuchToo (link below) that took over the space when the old BBC Ouch forum was withdrawn, some years ago.
There is a lot of non-judgemental and helpful support there, expert welfare rights advice from an adviser, and people who understand a little more than Joe Public does.
OuchTooErma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -
Not sure how that would work as the Evil Toerag has been dead for over a decade to my certain knowledge (found out online, as the surname is an unusual one).PasturesNew wrote: »There are tests for that these days - although they're a bit pricey at the moment, but in a few years' time they'll get cheaper no doubt. You might find somebody "better"
At present I'm not in a good enough place mentally to cope if it was proved that the Evil Toerag was actually my biological father, so will leave it lie for now.
McCulloch many thanks for the link; I'll check it out when I have an hour uninterrupted to have a proper mosey. xIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0
