during my years as a carer, i felt vulnerable, and isolated!! i was powerless and had decisions made for me. i was critisised and judged, and even blamed when things went wrong!! i was depressed and lonley. nobody listened or cared!! i was the victim. i was disabled by association!! and i was poor!! i am still poor!! even though i went to university i had my career taken away from me though a total lack of support!! but you know what - my time was short!! it was not life long!! like my son!! who will always be disabled!! who, if i allow it, could continue to feel as i did!!! wether still full time carers or not, we need to form an alliance with those we care for, as one huge army!! fighting along side eachother!! for eachother and ourselves!! what we endure - they endure!!! those with disabilities and us combined would make a bast political body - if there are 6 million carers then there are double those with disabilities. that is a huge number!!! and a big political force not to be ignored!!!
