I completely agree! I *hated* the patronising voiceover and the ‘AWW BLESS, SO CUTE’ tweets. It’s like when they make films about people with mental health problems and the character is just seen as a ‘victim’ and not even a real human being, just a means of teaching the audience the value of life and love or some shite.

[...] damaging as spite, because it still others disabled people. It strips them off their humanity. There are downsides to, “dignity”, which I have written about before. Dignity, in some ways, disempowers people. If all that is expected of you is to be dignified, [...]

Very moving and beautifully expressed and in so doing I believe will ease the loss at least a little.I don’t believe in a god or afterlife but I do believe in the connectedness of the human spirit and so I feel sure that dad will be with you on your special day, in spirit. Have a happy life

I can’t even recall how I came across this blog now lol but good reading. I never could get my head around all that hatred and marching in N. Ireland I just used to look at it on tv and boggled my mind. Anyway I digress, I used to sail the south coast of England and if the mood took me as I sailed into Plymouth with it’s war ships and nuclear subs I’d raise up the mast a dirty great rainbow Peace flag complete with CND symbol just to piss off the navy.

[...] I know Seaneen Molloy in person and have watched her battle so much, achieve so much, despite her illness and it was with joy that I greeted the news of her recent engagement. I remember a time when she felt a future was and always was going to be, out of reach. I met Seaneen originally just after both our fathers had died – hers of alcoholism, mine of a cigarette addiction. Both loved beyond measure and both gone way too fucking soon. This post for me, sums up the loss we still both share and sometimes, the change is understanding the depths of that loss, forever more … http://seaneenmolloy.co.uk/?p=734 [...]

Thank You for posting this, I am going through the same at the moment, my dad doesn’t have long left and I am filled with sadness and anger that he did this to himself. Alcoholism is something most people will never understand, I could relate to all of your story, the shameful moments when I wished he would die and end the misery and now he’s actually dying I feel sick that I ever thought those thoughts. Your story has helped me at this difficult time x
