Sorry to hear your mom is in such a state of denial; it's good that your dad

wants to help you, though. Is there anything he can do to help you out to get

the adaptive devices that you need?

Ugh you know what. I swear my parents have compleatly reverced from

the way they thought when i was a little kid. Now my dad is totaly

into understanding the medical issues, understands that i do have

vision and hearing and totaly bends over backwards to help me out, yet

my mom is in compleat denile that i have hearing and vision problems!

She feels that ive done well so far so i dont need any of the adaptive

supports. She has even gone as far and saying i dont really need

glasses and hearing aids make me hear better then everyone elce!

UGH!!!! lol. Well i did read (in psycology class) that does happen.

Now if only i could get the dang adaptive tec stuff!!!!!

He has given me money for my new white cane and pays my cable/internet

bill so i dont have to worry bout that. Dad helped pay for my last

pair of glasses. (not the sunglasses cause Welfare paid that one)

He wont help pay for the big things though. Dunno why. Says i have to

find a way to pay for all the stuff on my own. Silly dad. He is

getting more understanding but its still a long way off from perfect,

lol.
