It comes down to whether or not you are going to take responsability for your own life and actions. Period.
Without going into too much detail my WIFE (of 15 years) and I are raising our severly handicapped son (Quadrapaligic non verbal) at home, in a family enviroment, with his younger brother because we are responsible for bringing him into this world and therefore responsible for raising him. Not the goverment, not some agency,us, his parents.
This woe everything is not my fault, I'm not responsible for the abject failure my life has become and therefore it is everyone elses responsibility to provide for me society we have become makes me ill for the lessons we are teaching our children.
Get an education/trade, get a job and contribute to you own growth thereby contributing to society instead of taking from it.
When my son was born and everyone was telling us to institutionalize him my Grandfather asked me one simple question. He is your son, you brought him into the world, are you going to raise him or let some strangers? After all you are the one responsible for him being here.
My son fights hard every day to gain more control over his head muscles so that one day he may get a job doing data entry or someting with computers. Sure we have down times but he doesn't sit around complaining about his lot in life all the time,expecting other people to make it better for him.
People don't like to look at themselves in the mirror anymore.
Just my two cents
