I thought I would post this since abuse is so common among disabled people. It is really hard to leave an abusive person when disabled. I am 18 and I just recently moved out to live in a group home.Not everyone is as fortune as me. I want to know what more can we do about this problem. I was lucky. I understood the people I was living with were toxic.I also am my own legal guardian. However I had no support no friends to move in with and I didnt even know a group home was an option till recently. I could not afford with my little disability to rent a place of my own. If for instance I wasn't my own legal guardian and one of my family members tried to get guardianship like they tried to and couldnt because they could not afford a lawyer I still would be living with an extremely toxic person. I would like to see this issue talked about more. About how some disabled people cant recognize abuse, how some aren't in charge of their own money and cant leave such situations, and how some disabled people cant speak about their abuse. This should be talked about more.
