  • You’re actually straight wrong here. This is about terminal illness not disabilities.

    Having less than 6 months to live is a requirement.

    Calm yourself down and take your own advice and read it.

    And before you lash out about me not understanding I have Crohn’s disease and type 1 diabetes. I am disabled and it affects my quality of life greatly.

    I’m not sure if you’ve had to endure the torture that is watching someone die a slow and painful death but there is no dignity in it, only suffering. Allowing people to avoid 6 months of that is not a bad thing if they want to avoid it.







  • You basically have to change how you calculate your worth.

    You are the one who set the standards that you are failing to meet.

    People with depression often fall into this trap. You set a standard you can’t possibly reach and then get upset you aren’t reaching said impossible standard.

    When I get thoughts like this i try to look past my thoughts and feelings and look at the evidence.

    Is your son happy? Have they done anything that leads you to believe they feel let down? Etc.

    Because it sounds like the only thing making him unhappy is you being unhappy.

    Kids generally just want attention and love more than anything. Things are nice but they are no substitute.






  • It’s definitely not for everyone. And it depends a lot on your support network. I could pretty easily get someone to have them with a little bit of notice. I still regularly go out and away.

    But that is also a kind of selection bias. Kids tend to get hyper and show off when they have guests. You’re potentially seeing them at their worst a lot of the time.

    They’re also in bed relatively early so you often have your evenings free. So not much more time than if you worked full time with a long commute.
