Biid is as much a disability as the one I have, and we still have these stupid people to contend with. If you want to write to me I'm sure that Sean will give you my Email address.

It's always very touching to me when people with disabilities care enough about our plight to post kind things here. Thank you. It means a lot to me and I know to others as well. I am saddened by your mother's reaction to your disability. :o( Wow, Ceri, I wish I had seen your post earlier.

Even now, he tries his hardest not to hear about it. I am afraid he will never be able to come to terms with it. Sad, isn't it.

I lost my legs when I was eighteen in an accident which my mother still blames me for. She can't stand the sight of me in a wheelchair and when we meet I always have to wear prosthatics. My sister, who has stood up for me for all these years, is always held up to me as an example of what I should have become. I should be providing her with grandchildren and she's mad as hell that I'm not. Sophie, there are just some people who will never understand your condition but there are others who do eventually see the world from your perspective. I just hope that sense prevails. Good luck.

She's asking insightful questions, and willing to listen to the answers. She's known about my BIID for 20 years or so. It takes a hell of a lot of time.
