#mil and husband are both pressuring me to get my driver's license
#and theyre going about it .. in a konda ableist way. like the resson i dont have it is 1. parents didn't even allow me to start trying for
#it til i was 18... and that's about the time my health issues really starting rearing their heads
#and 2. i dont feel safe driving due to my disability.
#like. the pain can flare at any time. and get really really blackout bad in a matter of seconds
#and stress is one of the many many things that can cause a flare.
#i have my permit. i am doing some driving just with my husband in the car
#and that way he can take over if i have a pain flare... or even if it came down to it grab the wheel
#wtf am i supposed to do if im driving by myself and it happens?? and they dont seem to understand that THAT is a real fear
#and theyre talking about how i could drive myself 2 hrs away to visit my sis
#and im just like... yeah sure if i didnt have a massive pain flare on the way and crash and maybe even take someone else with me
#its irresponsible for me to consider driving alone. especially bc health is on the decline. has been for years now
#its only going to get worse and im slowly trying to accept that im just not able to do some of the things i used to
#but trying to explain your disabled life to someone who's never dealt with debilitating physical long-term disability before
#is really almost impossible. they view your explanation as excuses. they cut down every reason you give and their replies
#prove they just... dont understand. 'wouldnt you feel better if you were more independent??' 'arent you tired of not being able to just
#get in the car and go when you want??'.
#no. not really. it would be nice sure. but its not safe. but god trying to explain it to them is impossible.
#they dont get it. they dont understand. and trying to point out that their pushing and disregard for my feelings and health concerns in
#this is ableist?? met with denial
#dismissial. straight up telling me im wrong and just being immature or dramatic.
#its my body. my disability. my limitations. i think i know it better than they do
#ableism tw
