You know, I'd give up driving too if I could get someone to do it for me. I don't like driving that much. But giving up the independence would be hard.

Sky, I think letting them do the home assessment is progress. It would really be difficult to let people into your home who you don't trust and have associated with so many pains and troubles and everything else. I know that you recognize being suspicious as a PTSD symptom. I know how hard it is to give up symptoms that we have had for so many years. It must be so hard to try to work with these people and submit to what they require of you. I just hope that you can work with them enough and that they will also work with you, and that you'll be able to work out something in your best interest and that maximizes your independence and quality of life. If you can see well enough and control the car, then driving should be allowed and shouldn't keep you from getting the services and things that you need in order to get the most out of life that you can.
