Bless your heart. It's horribly cruel when people tell you that you're a burden! I don't understand why anyone would say that to you when you can't do certain things.

May I ask what is wrong with your legs? If you'd rather not say, that's ok.

I'm disabled too, so I know what its like when friends just dump you because you can't do certain things. It hurts -- I guess they feel we're a useless clump of humanity, but just because we can't do certain things doesn't mean that we can't still FEEL -- we hurt and have feelings, and the things they do are hurtful and cruel. I guess they just don't see that because they've never been in our "shoes."

Have you tried therapy? It has done me a world of good to help me accept the way I am, and to help me accept that people are always good. There ARE some insensitive people out there who just don't THINK. I don't believe they all TRY to be cruel -- It's just a matter of not THINKING about what they do, and that's why it seems so cruel. It's almost like they're immature and little kids -- they're too busy having fun to realize they've hurt someone.

Like I said, perhaps therapy would help you. You might call a good therapist and get an appointment. I dont think you'll regret it.

Take care and God bless. Hugs, Lee
