I am brand new to this and so if I stumble a little or am a wee bit inappropriate or full on, forgive me. I'll try to be a good boy.

My family, which wasn't exactly perfect in the first place, exploded and pieces of it ended up all over the world. We tried so hard to look after our bipolar son(A CONSUMER!!!) but it was impossible. We reached out, no, begged, for help, that's all we wanted was a bit of help but it wasn't forthcoming. They said they would help us look after him "out in the community", but they didn't. They left us to our own, pathetic devices.

This was many years ago but nothing has changed. I left him and his mother to it. She sacrificed her way of life for him. It was the only way. His sister has nothing to do with the family now..

I could go on and on and on and on but I won't. I am the guiltiest man in the world.

I am also furious that one of the wealthiest nations on earth stood by and watched us and many more just like us, implode. Watch this space. I have much more to say.

Dear Kristen.

I was rereading your NDIS info again today and impressed with your knowledge.
About 18 months ago, I was also pretty up on info about NDIS or whatever people have decided to call it, the payout stuff but that was 18 months ago and things have changed.

For me, my life has changed because at 47 years old, after many years if extremely difficult relations, my Mum has been accepting me for who I really am. I'm at an age where she shouldn't even be so in my life but my youngest son lives with her and well, I have needed so much family support.

I feel free from the continual negative interference.


Happy this morning so still not going to clean the kitchen yet....lol

How are you??
