Disability forums is somewhere one has to trod so lightly.
A year after having the Stroke that left me disabled I joined a forum that’s moderated by “Scope” who are just one of the many advice sites we see today for disabled folk like us.
Having been a victim I thought I had all the answers and could help others that have suddenly found themselves or found loved ones disabled. However I soon realised that no two cases are the same and the minefield of getting help is truly a minefield and one wrong step and your blown to pieces or to put it in a less violent way, your an emotional wreck and I just didn’t have the courage to give others advice because not only could it upset the person I’m giving advice to but also having to live through it myself it upsets me too and even now 12 years later I find it very hard to read others stories about Stroke no matter give advice so I say nothing.
That doesn’t help anyone I know but I can’t bear the thought that what I say can cause distress to others but its so easy to say something that does even though you may think it doesn’t.
