Hey MzMia,
I've seen this thread for the past couple of days, but due to being slow with each thread, due to reading from beginning to end, didn't get to it before now...
Poor isn't a concern. I grew up in an environment where needs were met, but extras were rare, so someone elses financial situation is not a concern, so long as they are at least "self supportive". I'm working my ass off right now to get into a position where I can support my current slave, so she can tell SSI to go fuck themselves.
She is not only poor, but has kids, and the last of her three is 14 at this time. She also is poor, not as a result of not doing smething to educate herself and improve her life, but rather from the unfortunate circumstance of her disability.
So yes on the count of disabilities, though I have to say it might matter how bad the disability is. Not being able to hear isn't an obstacle, neither is not being able to speak. I'm not fluent, but ASL (American Sign Language, NOT Age Sex Location) isn't new to me either. I have deaf friends...
Her disability (oddly enough, it's neurological, not psychological, yet Social Security seems to have their heads up their asses and think it's the same thing) is similar too, but not related to Narcolepsy. She was diagnosed with IH (Idiopathic Hypersomnia) over eight years ago, and her training was in medicine, as a nurses assistant. She has to be on a couple medications to prevent the "black-outs" and keep certain portions of her brain firing. So she couldn't hold that job any longer, and simply hasn't figured where to fit in again, so that's that. With any persistence and luck, I'll have that problem licked within the next 6 months.
She doesn't have any sort of mental disorders, but call me a glutton for punishment (masochistic in my own way I suppose), that wouldn't have hardly any bearing either. After all, I actually married a woman that was a loon and survived over 5 years in that relationship, hardly worse for wear, so I don't see how someone actually diagnosed and on proper medications would make a relationship more difficult than that one.
So now that I've given more background than is necessary, the short answer is:
Poor: Sure, money can be earned, income increased and does not overtly eliminate a persons inherent value in service.
Physical disability: Where there is a will, there is a way... All detriments can be overcome, with time and the proper insight.
Mental disability: Again, with proper attention to the proper areas, so long as the person wasn't a total psychopath or sociopath, I don't see how most issues couldn't be overcome. Again, with time, proper insight and perhaps proper medication.
It goes without saying, that if you find someone that matches you, you find someone that matches you, and that should be all that matters. That you make one another happy in the relationship is the ultimate goal.
Further, if something tragic happened and even if she became bed-ridden or something, or paralyzed from the waist down, or lost an arm in an accident, or an eye, or any other number terrible things to happen to someone... Even if she started losing her mental faculties (which are sharp as a finely honed razor as they stand right now), I wouldn't abandon her. Nor would I feel trapped by it. That's my integrity... If I give my word to someone, I'm more than happy to follow through on it, till I can no longer do so. And forming a relationship of this level is ultimately about your word.
Without it, you've nothing... Are nothing.
Peace.
