I Went Out Today!

Yes, it's true. It was dark, and the weather was dreadful, so I decided to take the dog for a walk with my mum, because she would've been alone otherwise. I hated every second of it, but at least it's a start.

There wasn't too many people around which was good, and even if there was, I was unnoticeable due to the darkness around where I live. There isn't much lighting, and the earth dips about 8ft on the fields. If it was daylight time, I wouldn't have been able to mentally do it.

I will start doing this when my step-father works late, and is unable to walk with her. It not only prevents me from worrying about something happening to her while she's out, but it's also helping me. She wants me to start coming out in the day too, but I can't see that happening for quite some time.

For anyone who is wondering what happened with regard to the social services being called, well, she didn't call them. The following morning there was another slight argument, and all was sorted... for the time being. However, I'm certain there will be another time, probably soon, when something similar happens. So, don't expect that to be the last outburst from me, haha.

On another note, I was contacted recently by a fellow blogger. He gave me some ideas of who to go see, and what course of action would be best for me to get sorted. His wife has the same condition as me. He's a really inspiring character, and a talented blogger. Take a look at his blog here.
