Thank you changing,

Adorable little gal who is 1/8  Algonquin Indian, olive skin brown eyes almost black hair.--and her father's nose--goody!

I just wonder if she understands the life of a disabled person. She saw me in action, but she wasn't inside my head------I don't think.

I just posted like 'a year in my life' I really don't know how it will be received but I hope the responses will be what each honestly thinks.

Love Izzy

Oh Izzy-

Now your adorable daughter is seeing things from a new perspective and a mature conciousness- she can only have a redoubled respect and affection for you. The challenges that you overcome to go about your life simply show how magical you are, and how precious life and love is. And I am sure that you are proud of her accomplishments as well, and will let her know. Little by little you will knit together again, and share the true affection that has always been there, sometimes buried. A lovely flower bursting through.

Love and Hope,

Changing

Izzy..... I can't imagine all the guilt your family would feel about your journey, if they allowed themselves to.

I feel guilt FOR them when I think about what they did.... and didn't do. 

That would be a terrible thing to reconcile with oneself.

Thanks Lighter,

I, too, think they ought to feel guilt , but I see it ,like I was when younger, naive, don't know what to do, don't know what to say. I see it that way now, but not when it was all happening. I was a bottomless pit of anger at a family, and at myself for being angry, who didn't appear to care, who had no empathy, who lived their own lives, and I lived mine.

I am so happy to be 2000 miles away from them all and to feel free of the anger.

Love Izzy
