I know Deafhood isn't this bitter attitude of pulling people down, this all too familiar crab theory and I know Deafhood is what this community is about. Encouraging each other, sharing our d/Deaf experiences.
If you want to know, I'm going through a rough patch financially and have been several months but I haven't let that get to me.
I encourage people to keep looking for employment or even consider going back to college.
I'm starting college and applied for funding, I was lucky to get two grants and the rest I pay back after I graduate.
Hubby hasn't had luck finding employment but that doesn't make him bitter. We both collect government assistance and I collect disability.
Just yesterday we went to the food bank for the first time because we had no food and we weren't going to get our gov't money until the end of the month.
Was I embarrassed to go to the food bank? No! I was hungry and I needed to eat. There's no shame in that. There were many people at the food bank, they were like you and me.
Poor and hungry, wanting to get some food.
I sincerely hope things will look better for you Grummer, hang in there!
I know things will get better for hubby and me so things should get better for you and what's been bothering you.
