Redefining relationships is hard   – that’s what I keep learning.

It’s  12 : 57 PM on day 799 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  stretch my hamstrings, brush my teeth, publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both hands, feed myself an egg sandwich for breakfast,  practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles and watch TV.

Last night I was SO PROUD of what I was able to do earlier in the day until my mom told me I didn’t do it properly and preceded to do it properly for me I think there’s a small part of my mom that doesn’t want me to learn how to do things by myself because she’s afraid that if I don’t need her in the way that I used to I won’t love her the same which is so not true it’s not  even funny I have to make her believe that my for  love her isn’t directly proportional to how much she helps me and change the helper-invalid relationship that we currently have. Have you ever had to redefine your relationships?
