Story

Sandi, my name is Eddie Hunt. I, too, am disabled and have experienced what you are now facing. You state your age as 23 years old, and, you may not like what I have to offer, but you need to hear what I say and do with it what you will.

Every one of your wishes has to do with wishing others to change: Wishing your mom would stop dragging you places and selecting the color of your clothes, wishing others will stop making fun of you or calling you names or others exalting the greatness of attending church, and wishing your grandmother will stop running your life, among other wishes.

The only two-part information I offer is:

1) Quit wasting time and effort trying to change others, and

2) Turn the spotlight inward to change yourself.

You cannot control what others say or do, but you do have the power and the authority to change yourself. Remember, a request or communication when offered mildly allays fears.

Best to you and hugs, too.

Eddie
