Helpers by Barbara Goodhew

Expecting understanding of my disability.
Getting inconsideration and unstability.

Hired a helper for help and supportiveness.
Instead got a sympathy craver of her life being a mess.

When Hired to help and be supportive.
Don't complain about your life and talk negative.

TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR CAREER OF HOME CARE.

We need home care that care ,
Not ones that only want their share.

I understand this one
It's really hard to find good care workers. But every once in awhile somebody whose a real gem comes along. Hope you find that someone soon. Know this must be frustrating for you. Another good point you have made here, Barb.

true
Mum had some good carer's and some bad ones. I was worried about Mum one day and turned to one for sympathy and help -- and she ended up moaning about her father!!

I know just what you mean!

People in distress
When people need Help, they don't need someone that is going to drag them down further. If not physically, it can be mentall and emotionally draining.. Nice write Barb...

Our hurt might not be as bad as others but our pain hurts too.
