Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 I felt very guilty when I first applied for Social Security disability. My doctor had to talk me into it. He said that there was no other way I could support my children. However, I do not feel like a "leech on society". I do try to work, which is limited to about 2 hrs a day. I also take care of my kids and keep them in school and safe. I help others as much as I am able. I feel that our society is morally willing to help those who are sick and cannot work. I worked full-time for 20 years and get a decent amount of Social Security. It is not enough to support my boys but I usually get by. I hope I can find a way to work but at this point my health won't allow it. I'm grateful that our society is willing to put money aside to help those who are ill.
