One of the problems with being a care-taker is that, unless you are 100% invested in the lives of those you’re caring for, it is an extremely lonely job. Very few people exist who can be that involved with anyone outside of themselves. Many people get into the job thinking it will be easy-ish, only to find out it is not. I think you did the right thing. But I also feel sorry for their person.

Sometimes it is the small and everyday things that change the world. =)

Your post was shared by the Disabled Peoples Association of Singapore and I am so glad that I got to see it and so was introduced to your writing. I hope to read more and to benefit from your advocacy and understanding of disability. My daughter is now 15 and has been a quadriplegic since a stroke at the age of 9. One of the challenges of living where we do is the lack of mentors and role models for her but also for me as a carer. So I am very much looking forward to learning from you and your site and to sharing it with my daughter so she can understand more about what advocacy is.
