    I am sorry you don’t have the support you deserve, even from family. That must make a difficult life even more so.

    My wife has cerebral palsy and in the last 5 years has developed chronic back pain that has taken away what little mobility and dignity she had.

    It has been upsetting to watch her decline. Doctors seemingly unable to alleviate her symptoms, but we keep trying.

    I am head over heals in love with her. The disability doesn’t change that. I am there for her every need, day or night. We appreciate each other and spend all our time together. I wish you could find someone to do the same for you.

      A deep bow in admiration combined with a sad hug. Thank you for staying and not be the “typical dude” who just vanishes the moment it becomes less easy. I’m sure she’s also full of love for you. I wish you all the strength to remain the strong one to make her life suck as little as possible.

      Also seconding your point. This dude’s family is just toxic shit.
