Amy, when I was living at home, my Mom basically didn't want me to do much.
I guess she was afraid that I would make a big mess or something, like for
baking cookies or making a cake. After I went to rehab and did the
termination meal and invited my mother, she came and watched with great
trepidation. She overcame her fear, however, and realized that I could
cook. Basically during the summer months, all my sister and I were allowed
to do was shell peas, snap beans, husk corn, polish silverware, and do
dusting. I think one time mom did let me try my hand at vacuuming. Oh
well. When I told her I wanted to move away and go to college, she was all
for it. I was afraid she wouldn't let me go. I guess she knows I can be
independent, but she just doesn't want to be the teacher. Take care all,
and have a nice evening.
Cecily

Hello everyone,
I am trying to decide what I want to do with my life as you all know =
as far as school or a job. I have put in a couple of applications and =
haven't heard anything. I know that there is not much of an opportunity =
for a blind person where I live to go to college or have a job, but I =
don't want to move to a big city. I will if I have too but if at all =
possible I don't want to. I don't want to live by myself. I guess I =
could get used to it, but I just can't imagine being alone right now. =
My Mom said that me and her might have to move to the city but I don't =
want her to leave our family. She said she's not ready for me to leave. =
I sometimes get the feeling that I can't do anything according to her. =
Did any of you have trouble with your parents understanding that you can =
do things and you['ll be okay? I know I am afraid to be alone for a =
long period of time. I'm afraid of being by myself. At the same time I =
want to be independant. It's so hard. Thanks for listening.
Amy
