I haven’t been able to write or colour or paint or draw or type much for the last ...wow! that’s a long time!
Partner wrote an article and some eejit said it was whiny and incessant... it was neither.
We don’t complain... some people may think we do but we don’t! I only had here to offload and then I suddenly couldn’t.
Social work are being utterly disgusting with my partner and putting her through a pre-assessment assessment tomorrow to decide if she warrants an assessment... (she’s already in their system and hasn’t had any contact with them of any sort -their failings not hers!- for at least 14 years, so yes! “Things have changed here on Walton’s mountain”! and this is downright unlawful and they keep pushing it back which is also adding to squashing feeling...
My social worker (who happily left me homeless more than 17 months, because there is NO TIME LIMIT for rehoming someone who is disabled in Glasgow since those flats/houses are “few and far between”?!! Yeah because the builders keep finding loopholes to build them properly accessibility-wise STILL(!) and my old housing officer told my mum I was “basically waiting for someone to die”! My mum dropped her bag and later that night cried herself to sleep.
Finally managed to get outside today to go to a mental health assessment for me and the taxi’s ramp broke so I was trapped in the taxi& ended up 20 minutes late; (I’ve waited more than a year for this appointment but that incident all outwith anyone’s control? Not a single fuck was given)
Partner called to let them know what was happening and they said ok and to come...
THEN? they wouldn’t see me. Next appointment was for April. Hopefully I’ll no longer be anyone’s burden by April.
We’re both in wheelchairs. That means a 2-taxi trip everywhere.
The hidden expense of being disabled means that cost us £48 today for nothing more than tears and fighting urges to hurt.
Some idiot replied to my partner’s article this evening and that comment just landed on a day when folk who don’t get it need to reel their neck in. I’m all for freedom of speech and comment away! but sheesh! Read the piece first eh?!
Long story short... I had a rant and I’m going to try to sleep and it will be fine.
Also, I’m sorry.
