On thursday i was eating breakfast at a diner down the street from me. i drive my scooter down there bc its so close. i ride a scooter bc im handicap but i can walk and i am independent. i ride it for when i dont walk short distances. however the disability should not be an issue.
anyway, i ordered what i usually do and it was kinda dead so the waitress sits down for a couple mins. we small talk and we know each other bc im a regular. she got up and went to the kitchen and when she went by me next time she grabbed my forearm. i just kinda brshed that off but she did it again few mins later. shes didnt squeeze it hard but put her hand around my bicep. it was noticeable since it was the second time she did it. shes around my age im 26 shes 24. i was sure to say goodbye to her when i left….
so i go in today, sit where i usually sit order what i usually order and she waits on me. we talked bout her roomate shes about to kick out and as i was leaving she initiated a hug and we hug..

My son is 20 and he is intellectually disabled his IQ is 70 below 70 is mental retardation. I have a mental illness, depression, and he was taken away from me when he was 11 and he moved in with me when he turned 18 two years ago. I love my son and I would take care of him for the rest of his life if I had to; I wanted to take care of him when he was younger but my doctor and the courts would not allow me to. Now that he is back he lies a lot and he never wants to help out he gets angry and yells at me if I ask him to clean up behind himself; I feel like a servant here to cook and clean for him and he is very ungrateful most of the time. On the other hand he’s still the sweet son I always remembered he’s really sweet at times but I’m thinking of asking him to move out when he turns 21 in September. I have one other son who passed away 5 years ago he was 21 he committed suicide. He left home for 2 years at age 19 and then did it because I asked him to move into the dorm; I thought it was time he started learning to live on his own back then but now I see I was wrong he wasn’t ready and now he is no longer here. I try to talk to my younger son who is intellectually disabled and it doesn’t do much good he always has a chip on his shoulder; he gets a disability check because of his intellectual disability so he has some income he doesn’t work or go to school like my other son did both; I’m really confused and I don’t know what to do I’m afraid of losing him I don’t think he can handle life on his own but he can learn if I make him sink or swim and of course I will help him financially. He cannot pass the drivers exam so he can’t drive a car I tried to talk him into getting a scooter that doesn’t require a license and he refused he said it’s probably too dangerous but he refuses to ride the bus he wants me to chauffer him every where and asks me to chauffer his friends around too but I had to put my foot down on that. Am I wrong to ask him to leave in 9 months?

My boyfriend’s mother does not seem to respect me. Primarily because of my disability. Today I decided to say something about a statement she said a couple weeks ago. The statement was that “if my boyfriend wanted to go to the bank and didn’t want to walk, he shoud take my scooter”. I felt that was disrespectful and uncaring. I tried to bring it up to her and she basically was like, “I don’t have to listen to you, young lady”. So how should I approach this next time. I would usually stay out of it, but now after she made that disrespectful statement, I had to say something. My boyfriend had the good sense despite his own disability, epilepsy to know that what his mother was illegal.
I don’t think you understand. It is a motorized scooter that is paid for by my medical insurance. So that is what makes it illegal by Md. law. Also, my boyfriend did tell her that she was wrong for even suggesting that and even if it is not against the law,it was a dumb suggestion. But his mother didn’t want to listen.
