You took the first step Janice. You realized that you can not live there any more. I agree. Have you found someone with whom you can have private conversations? Have you investigated sources & resources, for ideas? Keep on posting your questions & ideas & thoughts. Glad you found your way to Disaboom. Take things one step at a time. I will pray for guidance & your safety. Bye for now. GOD Bless

Janice you didn't say but are you getting disability? Do you have any funds that can get you out your mom's house? what about having a private meeting with your doctor or care givers..can you do that and discuss your fears? Is there a friend or a family member, other than your parents who can help you? Sometime people can be toxic in their actions and it sounds like your mom is that sort of person towards you. Please know that you are safe to say what you have to here at Disaboom. I am a praying woman, no way else to get through Polio and then Post Polio, Will lift you up for protection, comfort, a safe place to live and support from those around you and protection from your mother's actions....Continue to blog and know that we are here to listen, help..be there for you. There maybe someone here who will have concrete answers to how to help you. Blessings Becky W

Re: I lied to her

Nanal — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 00:38:20 GMT

Hi Janice.......I wonder what made you think of that little girl........so many years later ?........Do you think maybe it's because you were so hurt.......so recently ?......That you've found out that just being " grown up "........doesn't mean......kind.....mature.......compassionate ?.....You didn't really lie to her.......I think your answer was filled with hope..........hope that all of us.......as adults.......will find the mutual need for eachother......our connectedness..............and the truth of being children of God.............is all that matters in the long run..............keep trying to make the kind of friend.......you are !...........peace and love.......Norma

Re: I lied to her

bonnie — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 00:13:07 GMT

It is important to live in the present, or the past becomes our reality. I believe you spoke to that child from your heart, you tried to give her hope, and what she encountered in the future was her own path to discover. She needed hope at that moment, and who were you to say that, in the years to come, awareness would not become more universal. In fact, it has. So, in a way, things HAVE gotten better. I am sorry you have had some bad experiences with friends, but try not to see everyone from that perspective, as it happens to able bodied people as well. No one is exempt from betrayal! ! Live free for the present is my well meant thought, and I think you will find yourself more at peace. That is MY hope for you, anyway. Best wishes and peace. bonnie

I agree with both Bonnie and FriPilot. The sooner you can take action here the better.

I do not think you misread the situation, and I believe the term is "sexual harassment." I believe you should report him to his supervisor, and it does not matter if he is "mad" at you. He will do this to others, and should be stopped. Also, you should not be denied the services of the CIL and your scooter. These things are never pleasant, but he should be stopped. [one opinion]. best wishes and good luck, bonnie
