Re: a few complaints about the blind comunity
It's not just society that mistreats us, I'm mistreated by my own family.
My brother once told me where I might be able to get a job, the catch was he wanted 25% of my income for as long as I had the job. I'm not opposed to paying a fee for help finding a job, that's how employment agencies make their money, I belive their fee is around 25% of your income, but only for the first three months, not for as long as you have the job they help you to get as my brother wanted. As a way of protesting what my brother was doing and to prevent him from profiting from what I thought was his ill treatment of me, I never applied for the job.
At the past two family Christmas parties, after I lost my vision, since nobody knew or wanted to know how to deal with me, they'd put me in a corner, then implied I was to stay there, which they tried to enforce by keeping an eye on me to see if I needed anything, which they'd get for me, so I'd have no need to leave my corner. The only thing they didn't provide was company, they just left me alone in my corner, I didn't enjoy the parties and couldn't wait for it to end so I could go home. I do not plan to attend the family Christmas party this year, If I'm going to be alone, I'd rather be at home where it would be easier to entertain myself. Maybe, by refusing to attend the party and subject myself to their mistreatment, I'll send a message, and maybe they'll get it, though if past experience is any indication, I doubt it.
