According to South Carolina court system....if your handicap, you ARE NOT A GOOD PARENT! Yep, that's right people...if your handicap, you just can not be a good parent! My friend who has MS is fighting the fight of her life. No, it's not her MS, it's for custody of her 5 year old Daughter! The grounds....... that she is not a good parent because she's handicap. Well...ya know....she has MS and all!
The MS society and all those other people like the ACLU....no help what so ever....they don't get involved in legal cases? Since when! It must be they only deal in very high profile cases that are news worthy. She has called them all, heck ...I have called them all......zilch! "were sorry, we don't offer that kind of help"......wonderful.
So in this country of right's and blah blah blah.....do we really have them? Are we really so fair? it seems we are....only when it suits us. So have right-ed ourselves into wronging everyone else?

She is right!!! I am handicapped. I am also a parent. I am in an electric wheelchair. People assume that I am unable to get out of it. Nope! They are wrong. It is just a seat that moves with me. Why get up and out and sit in a chair only (after a water pill) to get up every 10 minutes to go to the bathroom by getting back into the wheelchair. I do have a problems walking (which I can), but I run the risk of having to wear diapers due to incontinence. See my dilemma? Because of the chair EVERYONE assumes that I cannot safely get my child out of the house in a fire. GRRRRRRR! So I heqr ya!
