Kathy,

I want to ask you some questions that I'm sure will answer your own
questions as well.  First, is your brother named your legal guardian?  If he
is, he can suggest that you may want to think about stopping using e-mail
and chatting to people over the internet, but however in the end its
definitely your choice to use it or not.  If he isn't actually your legal
guardian, I wouldn't get stressed out over what he may recommend you to do.
But however I feel that you're just a follower, and I could probably tell
you to wheel off a bridge and into the water, and scary thought you might
actually take my word for it.  You need to stop living as a total follower
and actually live life however you may like, and please don't say that you
have Cerebral Palsy you can't, because that's the biggest put down that
isn't true, that I know.  If I were you, I would do some thinking this
weekend and than Monday morning right away, I would call your caseworker (or
get one if you don't have one and they don't charge you) I would sit down
with them to discuss about whatever you want in life and however you may
wish to live your life.  Knowing them, they would help you if you go at it
being excited and happy instead of being sad and frustrated because you were
born with Cerebral Palsy.  Unfortunately you can't replay your birth in
hopes that you won't end up with Cerebral Palsy again, but however you can
definitely make life without feeling that you're different.  And if you
decide to do this and call a caseworker Monday, do it for yourself and to
make yourself happy and not anyone else.

Thanks,
Anthony

  The reason why I left this list is because my
  oldest brother said don't talk to anybody over
  the Internet that you don't know.  But , I
  actually feel better if I talk to people that I
  don't know.
