Whats wrong with people

This past week has been really tough, I am not sure if I have been putting my emotions on hold for the last two years. It's been a real roller coaster week, Floods of emotions just keep coming out. I am not sure if the holidays are bring it on. After moving all the way out here for my new job, they maybe closing my department. Yet just a week ago I refused another job at the prompting of a colleague. SO the job search begins, I know I have at least a year which will give me some time to look. We need to move back closer to family, I think it would help with my loneliness. Spending weekends all alone with my husband watch the TV is not fun. I would make him get out but it is so cold here now that he has a problem with his leg getting stiff, and shaking. I tried to explain to people who I work with what our life is really like. I was really getting myself to believe that they just didn't know. Well, I was wrong they just don't care. This is going to help with moving on because there is no one here to care about. I don't have the patience or time to waste on unfriendly people. We went to the Thanksgiving dinner 2 weeks ago and all any of them said to my husband was hi, then they ignored him. He was pretty hurt, his speech has improved and he was ready to start reaching out. Well, they blew that away for him. Now he won't go to any of my work functions, I can't blame him. I think this was finally the last straw, I was stupid to think we belonged out here, and I know it is time to move on. It will never change and you can't change ignorant people. Sorry to ramble, I been holding it in. I need to get back on my positive note.

Ray and I moved around a bit with his job and it takes time for people to do more than say "hi" whether you are disabled or not. One small town we lived in I made a couple of good friends but just as we were leaving a neighbour came and said:"If I'd known you were going to stay this long I would have been more friendly!" Could not believe that one!

Anyway, if anyone shows the slightest interest, follow it up. Join some charity fund-raising group, help out at the school or hospital, anywhere there are people who care about others they are likely to care for you. Some people care about money, promotion, possessions , they don't have time for the disabled.

I have some lovely friends built up over many years, some moved away from us, some we moved away from, but thanks to email we still can keep in touch.

Good luck with your job and your decision making.

Sue.

oh gosh,not everyone is like that at all..

 

I've found some people who I could take or leave..

 

If they don't reciprocate, I've gotten like whatever, I just put it on them as its their problem not mine! my quest is to find the good souls! They are out there and someone will surprise you in a good way..

 

Sometimes people just do not know initially how to be but once you find a way past that, you never know...I'm much more outgoing than I used to be and it may throw some people initially but once they find out I'm not out for some reason they put down their guard...
