Yeah, I'd say you really messed up, unfortunately. How on earth did you
manage to run away? You're really lucky they didn't take away your power
chair if that is what you were using.
I agree with Mag - you need to take responsibility for your actions and
learn to think about the impact of your actions on other people. None of
us live in our own little bubbles and none of us live without impacting
someone in some fashion. What that impact is, is up to you.
I lost my dad in 1991 and my mum in 1999 and am reminded of them every day
of my life. You need to be prepared for a life when they are no longer
here physically. As I said earlier. I'd bet they are worried sick about
what will happen to you when they die - you need to show them you will be
strong and OK.

Kat,
Yes, Cornerstone and nursing home are two different things. I thought I had
an apartment half-way lined up for respite . That fell through less than a
month before they were leaving. I was going to camp the next week. There
was no time to train people. Besides we tried that once and they said they
didn't like strangers coming in to their home to take care of me when they
weren't around.
I fucked up Cornerstone. I tried to run away a year ago August, we met with
Cornerstone this spring and they said in order for me to go back, 1 I had to
take extra medicine (which is against the law ) 2 I had to have extra
drivers in case I was violent .
