I have Cerebral palsy, spastic, quadriplegia, have a speech impairment, I
use a electric wheelchair.
I have something to share and was wondering if any of you had gone
through the same thing. I was engaged, he verbally abused me. Also, my
dad hasn't been the greatest nuteror. This affected me so much that I
thought that was the way I was supposed to be treated, I know better now.
I have a friend (a man) who treats me with respect (he doesn't have a
disability). Although I think it's wonderful, every so often I get
scared. I'm enjoying our friendship so much. How do I get over that
hurdle of feeling weird when he's just treating me the way a man is
supposed to treat a lady? He's not afraid or embarrassed to help me in
public.
