Trapped in supported accommodation

I have various people on my team supposedly helping through my depression, and other issues I have. They requested I go into a care facility for a one month stay. Which I agreed to fully expecting to return home about one month after. As soon as I mover in to the place there attitudes changed. All of a sudden I had to stay in the supported accommodation. Because I was not going to be supported in my home. Even though the support I need is available from various agencies. Around Melbourne by various counsels or privet agencies. Providing attendant care and home help. I believe I should be eligible for funding for disability. I have raised this with the people who are my advisers. But get caned every time I am not consulted. About the decision I am told just sit back do as we say. When your ready we will help more then. The plan i am not consulted on it's not working it's just stagnating. My family are no help. I am that fed up where I am. I am rely contemplating ending it all my life has no meaning in here. Just a worthless piece of meat that gets treated like a 3 year old. I know a warehouse full of stuff. That no one can now use. I cannot help anyone in here not even myself I'm not aloud.

Dear Kanga~

I read this latest account with dismay, I had thought you were on your way. Life simply isn't fair and your kids should be ashamed. I'm sure you would have done them proud all their lives.

"I am usually a fairly brave man"

Nup, always

Hang in there Kanga

Okay Kanga, I've found you now. Looks like I have lots of reading to do, although you appear to have summarised things a bit at the end there. Phew ... thanks for that. What a predicament Kanga! And how unfair. Busy now, but will get back to you soon.

Ok what have I done wrong now who's toes did I step on who didn't I snuggle up to My position hasnt changed just the a holes around me promising me the moo as usual and giving me manure to put into the garden

Kanga that must be so damned frustrating, one giant merry go round.

We cant change others Kanga, all we can do is be the best person we're capable of being. You have certainly done that. Be proud Kanga, as you have every right be. And you're no fool either Kanga, no crazy old man. Thats more than evident.

I will have more to say when I return in a couple of weeks Kanga, and perhaps by then I'll have time to go through all this thread to get a better picture of things. Thanks for the summary at the end though.

Sending you an abundance of patience, as you certainly need it.

I am proud of who I am and I wont be a door mat any longer hope to see you when you get back if I am still here not out chasing windmills

Much as I am my sun's guardian I cannot force him to come see me. After I left home I hardly saw my farther. Now my son hardly sees me.

When all is dune and dusted he shall regret not learning the lessons I can teach him. As I regret not learning them from my farther. That's not a good thing nor a bad thing it's just the way it is. No matter what I have always loved my children and always will its unconditional
