Same mentality of “Why did you have kids if you can’t afford them,” when average people just want a family of their own, like it’s unreasonable and a family should be a privilege only afforded to the wealthy.

Than you. Yes, it’s crazy to me that people don’t realise that disability is the only marginalised group that anyone can become a part of at any time. I’ve actually done a lot of thinking about this and I’ve come to the conclusion that people must convince themselves that this could never happen to them- they work hard, they save money, they eat right to take care of their health, etc. So if you become poor through disability, you must have done something to cause it. You didn’t take care of your health which is how you became disabled, and prior to that you either didn’t work or didn’t save/invest wisely so that’s why you’re poor. They simply can’t admit that anyone can become disabled at any time through no fault of their own because it’s scary to them, and they can’t admit that you can run through all your savings quickly when times are hard, or you can lose your investments or whatever through no fault of your own. They’d also have to admit that much of their success is due to circumstances they had nothing to do with - being born into a middle class family in a wealthy country, being blessed with good health and an able body so they can work, etc. People don’t want to admit their circumstances were given to them and they can lose it all at any moment. So they have to blame the poor and disabled and make our circumstances into a character fault, then they can also say we don’t deserve government support or any other help.

Thank you!

They aren’t the first to do this by a long shot, but they’ve kept going the longest by far.

Thanks, if they write back maybe I’ll tell them their behaviour is upsetting.

I will.

Yeah I will.

I’m not 100% sure but I think it might have been lemmy.

So happy to hear it!

Yes I do think so, also they way they type is very rambling with barely any punctuation. And it was weird how happy they thought I’d be that instead of sending the promised help, they’d booked a trip here instead.

I will now. I had intended to previously, but you just can’t help hoping they’re genuine and will come through eventually.

Thanks.

I think they never had any intention of helping now. I think the £15 test amazon gift card to see if it worked, was actually just meant to convince me they had genuine intentions of helping. This has been going on since january and it’s almost April now, there’s no reason it would take this long or why they would keep asking “What gift cards do you need?” When I’ve already answered that question 100 times.
