still can't work out who i am@dosboi @DancesWithCybermen @froodie @blindscribe not old then, whether we like it or not there are physical factors/pathologies that start to come into play when you get old, for sure some are lucky, but most are not, trying to deny that is not a good position to take, i am 60, mum is 90, i am starting to break, mum has broken
@peterainbow @DancesWithCybermen @froodie @blindscribe I think it was more never lose your childish curiosity rather than denying the ageing process which is obviously unavoidable.
@dosboi @DancesWithCybermen @froodie @blindscribe maybe, but certainly wasn't clear and even then is kind of am anti-disabled position to take, so ironic as in a thread of people discussing how you should project onto other groups etc ( yeah i'm not good at comms )
@peterainbow @DancesWithCybermen @froodie @blindscribe it’s all good! It’s all love and understanding. Hope you and your ma are not too broken. You made it here so you’re doing good in my books!
@dosboi @DancesWithCybermen @froodie @blindscribe sadly we are, mum has progressed dementia, dad has prostate cancer with months to live, i've got various things and being broken trying to support mum and dad from miles away in a country that cares nothing about the poor, disabled and the old
@peterainbow I’m sorry to hear that. Hope you find some comfort and peace in being able to talk about it.
@dosboi sadly not, was on here for peace and quiet, but stupidly being sucked back into engaging with stuff which never goes well for me and others
@peterainbow sending the best virtual hug I can. Not much I know…
Sarah@peterainbow @dosboi @DancesWithCybermen @blindscribe I'm sorry that you and your family is dealing with all of this. It can be very hard to think about the highfalutin concepts when you're deep in the trenches of illnesses like dementia and cancer. Sending you peaceful thoughts x
