Unfortunately all too true :(

And they are treated leniently for it, which angers me. As if no vicious bullies became carers.

That's because they were being "kind" by putting us out of our "misery."

Nevermind that most of our misery is manufactured by the world around us and has little to do with our actual disabilities.

I’m disabled and being abused. I’ve told Wisconsin Aging and Disabilities and mental health professionals. Nothing was done. They don’t gaf. I have no way of leaving because this person siphons most of my SSI check. I have no freedom where I live. I want my own place.

I am so so sorry that you're both experiencing this. We all deserve so much better.

It's horrible. We are a source of stress to our families and friends.

I hear you. Still, stress can never justify violence, let alone killing someone.

When she was still alive, my uncle tried murdering my aunt by holding a pillow over her face while she slept because he "couldn't take it anymore" (her being disabled). He was never held accountable because she couldn't prove that he did it. It's horrible what happens behind closed doors.

I am so sorry - that your aunt when through this, and for the trauma you must have also absorbed.
