I maybe didn't realise how much my father's mini stroke had impacted on him mentally and physically. All I could see was this limp. He was refused blue cards and I guess other benefits. He was deeply depressed. And me and Fred saw him on many occasions with only a small hint of a limp. I think bra strap was right - it was partly psychosomatic and his head was stuck firmly in the past. I'm just one person and I don't know what everyone was expecting of me?! My base was built on sand so I became sand and I cast myself to the wind and let the air current take me. I would never have survived being detained as a mental health patient if I hadn't .
