This is my first time here. I am 41 years old and I don't know anyone who is deaf like me. My mother never involved me in the deaf community when I was a young child. I wish she did. It is very hard for me living in a hearing world and I don't know what my life is going to continue to be like since I am very lonely. Hearing people are rude and they just don't understand. I'm glad I found this site. I feel like I can vent and perhaps be understood. It just seems to me that I have wasted my life dealing with people who can hear and I would like to be a part of the deaf community but I'm a little nervous and I don't know how to be a part of it.
 
Welcome to AllDeaf! Enjoy your stay! :thumb:

I understand how you feel. I was like that. My parents were always trying to get me involved with hearing communities instead of deaf communities.
 
Hi Dawn,

Such a shame your mother barred you rom being actively involved in the deaf community. Never fear it's not too late for you to join if you like.

Anyway, have a lot of fun on AD and meet great people! :type:

Cheers :bye:

Hi Dawn welcome to the board. Nice to know that we have another New England member here, too. :D Enjoy your stay!
 
Welcome! It's never too late to join the deaf community! :) Hope you find this site a friendly and informative place!
 
Hi Dawn and welcome to Alldeaf! You will enjoy this site as much as i do..
I understand how you feel about feeling "left out"..believe me, i have been
thru all kinds of crap from the hearies...I just ignore the ones who dont or even try to understand the deaf..they are just ignorant is all. There are some hearies are good like my husband, he is hearing but he understands the deaf.
he has mild hearing loss in one ear and wears hearing aid and is now losing some in the other ear..all due to constant noise he was exposed to at work.
Maybe your mom dont understand how important for the deaf to interact with the deaf same with the hearing world.
You will have fun in here, really!
:)

We will be going to MSAD Cruise in Boston on Sunday. That would be fun for us.
