I have a good friend who lives about three blocks from me... she is deafblind.. I will give you a brief history of her being so co-dependant to some guys in her past..
First boyfriend who was an interpreter living with her for 8 yrs.. he got tired of her being co-depending on him all the times.. he knew she can do anything if she puts her mind on it... she was trained... she neglected all basic training for blind.... so he dumped her and disappeared... Carmen turned to my late room mate Rosie... Rosie had helped her alot..
Then Carmen found new boyfriend who was Mexican... lived with him for couple years... again he dumped her for same reasons...Again she returned to Rosie for help...
Short while... then she found new boyfriend who also was blind in one eye.. he was alcoholic... living with her living off on her money... for next 5 yrs... Last August he passed away ih her home.. Now Rosie had passed away last Oct... she came to me... I help her around the shopping... etc... but she starts to co-depend on me... I told her that she had been trained for blind... she can do anything ... she said she forget all the basic training... I got firm.. I told her to go back to re-learn all basic training... then i will help her... and if she does not do... there were nothing i can do for her... she cannot co-depend on anyone else....
So help me.. I need your feedbacks or helps... to see what I can do for her... I would appreciate all feedbacks...
My job is not helping deafblind... I work with Domestic Violence for deaf... I feel that there are some certain helps that i can give her.. and send her to certain places...
