10/23/2024 1 Comment People SuckThis may really tell you something about people. This morning Judy walked in upset because three times in a row, she hired a new DSP [direct service provider] for Alex, and after accepting the job they ghosted her. Having been through really similar issues at my group home, I have witnessed how selfish and inconsiderate people can be. They seem to not care how their actions affect others or they are oblivious to the fact that they have responsibilities once they commit to something. It’s like they see nothing beyond themselves. What has me so incensed about how they treat people is that most of them are feeling no shame. They make others suffer in small and large ways, and feel no guilt. No one should treat others in any way other than how they themselves would like to be treated. The old adage “do unto others” is truth.

10/16/2024 2 Comments NormalUsually there is not much reason to smile on an ordinary day. I can’t stop laughing today though. Just laughing really lets out the stress, I must say. What’s so funny, you ask? It’s really hilarious listening to Judy yell at us. For those who don’t know her, let me explain. The thing that stands out most about her is that she sees no difference between us and normal people. So when she talks to us, she says the same things she’d say to anyone. When I slump over in my chair, she’ll snap at me, “Sit your ass up! What, you’re too weak to sit up?” When we try to be lazy, she’ll threaten to put us over her knee for a thorough spanking. The fact that we are twice her size makes it even funnier. So today when she yelled down the hall, at Alex, “Sit down and shut up!” we all cracked up. It’s the best part of being here, because it means that she sees us as normal and capable human beings. She never talks down to us. And that’s part of the magic. The less we are treated as incompetent, the more we will behave as normal.  10/9/2024 1 Comment Please Hear Me...I Am In HereIt occurs to me often that happiness is a choice. That is something Judy says; and I think about it often and try to make that choice. It’s hard sometimes though. There are many times I make the decision to be miserable. It’s often the easier one. Today, for example, I can’t make the decision to be happy. Why, you ask? The men in my life think that I’m cognitively disabled. It hurts more than I can say. Nothing I do matters: they have seen me spell on a laminate and type on a keyboard. I really hate that no matter what I do, they are not convinced. How they can have doubts after seeing me, I don’t know. The fact that they see me as cognitively impaired means that they don’t know my words are real. Since they don’t, they never listen to me. There has to be a way I can get through to them or I totally will have endless misery.  |
