I Have An Invisible Disability

I have a disability which means I have to use a waking stick. I feel that ever since I've had to use the stick that people no longer see me just it. My ex husband left me 3 years ago and one f his parting comments was, " your old, ugly and a cripple no one will ever want or look at you". I really wish I didn't feel like my disability defines me but I fear it does and my ex could be right.

@FelixLegion we were together 15 years and had 4 children. Once I became ill the in sickness and in health went out the window. He also decided not to bother with his kids once he left. That says it all doesn't it!

@FelixLegion took me a while to realise that. 😂

I have had a disability for 25 years that no one can see, and it never defined who I was...look past it to you you truly are on the inside.

@Raffie I think that's the real problem. Not what he said, cause I know deep down he's a Muppet, but how I see myself.

sounds like your ex is the disabled one.

their loss, such a pity there's people like that breathing our air!

@sighmeupforthat unfortunately I think years of his abuse took it's toll. The trouble is I've come across quite a few people who are discriminatory and I guess my self confidence, or lack of it, doesn't help my situation.

Karma will get him

@Itchypants I can but hope. He really loves himself and as he left the kids and me for another woman, who he married within the year, his ego is massive. Be good to see him made humble.

Sorry to hear that

Disability only slows you down from working certain jobs. It does not slow you down from finding the right man. The only men you won't be picking up, are the ones who are looking at you, and not who you are inside. You don't want those kind of men.

i get rejected a lot by people and find it hard to start a relationship as i am incontinent. People cant see past your disability and see the real you
