I called my case manager yesterday. She came this morning at 10:00. I told her what happened last night and about the fall I had last Friday. Because they need to know where I get my bruises. Yesterday, when I talked with her on the phone, all I asked about was assisted living. This morning she is going to get me in an apartment here in town. First, she's going to come back tomorrow morning at 9:00 to help me pack up enough things for a week. She found me a place that is handicape accesable and she said I would probably be there for about a week, until she can get me that apartment. Which is fine by me.
I told her what went down last night, and she said that he is abusing me...and not just verbal. Since he doesn't want to spend anymore money on the house to keep it safe for me and everything else he does....but he has never hit me. She told me that even by not taking me to the er last night was abuse to a disabled person. When you say mean and nasty things to a disabled person, you are abusing them and can be in trouble! If I want to push this....I can get him on abusing a disabled person! But I'm not going to. I will NOT let him come to me anymore and verbally attack me just because he has a bad day! Obviously he doesn't even think about how my day went....the pains I have to cope with and losing different abilities out of know where....and grieving! At least he gets to come home to get away from work problems....but I can't go away from any of mine....this is now my life! I've said this before...NO, I don't use my disabilities as an excuse for anything....I know that NO ONE is suppose to abuse someone that happens to be disabled! Verbally with words....thats still abuse, and I can always turn them in!
My son is also going to help me tomorrow. I'm glad. I still haven't been to bed yet. I'm going now and see if I can sleep.
Thank all of you for your support and kind words!
Lisa

Sleep well, my sistah! Lots of new and exciting adventures are coming your way!
Thank you for this update. Medical abuse and verbal abuse are still abusive, whether to a child, elder, or disabled person, or a supposedly healthy middle-ager if that person can't get the medical assistance w/out the abusers help. I know you're saying he's not hit you physically, and that is good. Anyway, I am glad that you have your son's help. I am glad that you're feeling good about moving out. Your spirit sounds brighter today.
Awwwwww Lisa praying that you will be able to have some peace soon in your life, nobody deserves to be abused, Hugs to you (((((((((((((( Lisa))))))))))) Love You Lisa XOXO

Well Lisa I am so sorry you have to go through this.Mental abuse is often worse than physical abuse,in my opinion.More so if one is in the position you are and not very well,it must upset you harder..I hope you have a much better day today.Keep your spirit up .Take care God Bless Prayers being said.Kath

Lisa, I'm glad you got to talk with your case worker, sorry the situation is such that you have to move, but, your well-being is what is most important dear. The case worker sounds like she's right on top of things. I wish you peace in your heart dear....Arlene (AJ)
Lisa, I am so thrilled to hear your case worker is so on the ball. I feel so terrible that you have been enduring such abusive treatment. You have touched on it from time to time, But I did not realize how severe it was. I will be praying for you. I know this will be be a hard transition. God Bless you my friend.

I hope by getting this new apartment it will be better for you. I know it is difficult for you and I'm sure it has been difficutl on him watching you the way you are. He should try to be more understanding and more helpful. Take care.

Oh, Lisa, truly I can hardly type this I am crying so hard. I am so sorry you had to go through all of this. Yes, it is abuse, and nothing excuses that. I hope you know who will think long and hard once you are gone and he comes home to an house without you. God be with you, and bless you, and bless your son for helping you, too. I hope you find some peace and feel safe, secure and happy. Many of us who follow your journal are holding your hand as you make this move. Don't doubt it. Love, Merry
Lisa I am so sorry for all this .. wish there was something I could do to help. Know I'm sending good thoughts and vibes your way.
hugs
d
your moving?!?!
u didnt tell me that earlier.
I hope they find a good place for you. There is that one that is like not even 10 seconds away from me that would be good for you (and closer to me) :-)
Hope you have a good night!
love ya
I'm soooo happy & proud of you! No one should be treated in a demeaning way...that is not LOVE! The person has no clue what love is if they think that is ok! I'm glad there is someone looking out for you. Good luck & let us know how you are doing when you can get to a computer!
Hi Lisa,
Wow! That is fast.
Have you been thinking about this for a while?
I just don't want you to have regrets in jumping into something.
I wish you the best always.
Love,
Donna
