Just to inform all those who have offered me their support, especially, as usual Adrian Whyatt, a 'big' thank-you, when I am experiencing great 'trauma' in my personal life.
I know that there are some of you out-there think I should get the hell out of the East Riding Of Yorkshire (and Hull) for my own health and safety and my overall health and wellbeing.
My answer to these people is that where else do I go? I have been embattled now with all the local public bodies since 1995 (nearly 13 years), so packing my bags and given up my fight is not the solution, because where ever I go I will experience the same 'ignorance' and discriminatory comments, attitudes and behaviour, which 'Disablism' against myself and other NeuroDiverse people will not go away if I 'run-away' and go in hiding somewhere else.
What 'real' choices have I go being a ND disabled 'flood-victim'?
I also have a professional ethical, and personal 'moral' responsibility to continue to 'speak-out' against all forms of oppression against ND's, like myself, and all other disabled people and coinue to tell 'the-truth'.
I have moved to another hotel, near the Humber Bridge, on Friday night.
I just need 'space', away from people and the 'rat-race', especially bigoted ignorant professionals in my care who are making me feel 'unwell', to reflect on where I go from here?
I need 'low-arousal' environments where my ND brain can 'recover'.
I need Mr Goring, Advocate to support me, with others, to enable me to action my Wellness and Recovery Action Plan (WRAP), which none of the profesionals within my care are able to support me implementing.
I have made a rationale decision and 'sacked' them all, as a CSIP/NIMHE certified qualified WRAP trainer and practitioner to enable this process to be implemented in my life and I need the support of Mr Goring and/or another advocate, with legal advocacy, with peer advocacy and COS/F's support to make the right decisions and choices which will enable my empowerment and wellness and recovery.
I apologise for cross-posting and also posting to Disability-Research, but I know I have some good friends and colleagues within te Disability Research forum, who will be concerned for my 'safety' and 'welfare' and is only fair and morally right to inform others that I am iin a 'safe-place', after all the recent trauma in my personal life, which impacts on my 'professional-life' too.
I know I need to find the 'inner-strength', as a ND 'survivor', to continue to 'speak-out' for basic human rights and equality, even though I have to suffer all this pain and hurt within my personal life, which has impacted on my professional career, but being 'honest' is more important to me, instead of taken 'blood-money' from our oppressors who keep us in our chains.
We all have to search deep into 'our' consciences and I know all the work which I am doing, which I need to remind everyone of 'anti-oppressive practice' values which I signed up to as a ND disabled professional, that I know, that each-day I wake-up my conscience is clear and I have put up a 'NOT-FOR-SALE' sign on all my personal and professional values and ethics.
I will always stand by the side in 'SOLIDARITY' with all my ND and other disabled brothers and sisters to fight all forms of abuses and oppression to continue our daily fight for full equality, social justice and civil liberities and basic human rights.
Take-Care
