aka telling the person sitting in a wheelchair that if they don’t stand up then they’ll die.
Sure, maybe that person just has very weak legs and can stand and walk very short distances. Maybe if they really had to, then they could stand up. But that person also might actually just be paraplegic and just can’t use their legs at all and you’re just telling them that it’s their fault that they’re going to die. There’s no way for you as an outside observer to know just by seeing the wheelchair.
That’s what I’m saying. What “resistance” am I supposed to mount as a caregiver that spends all day caring for 3 developmentally disabled kids and a wife with a brain tumor that can randomly with at most maybe 30 minutes of warning can go into an atypical seizure where she thinks she’s 7 for several hours? How “hard” do I have to fight before it’s “enough” for you? Is there any amount of “fighting” I could have engaged in that you wouldn’t still be blaming me for not doing enough?
(ETA: I should add that 30 minutes of warning she can’t recognize in herself. This is warning that I have as her caregiver to prepare for her to “time travel” within her own mind for at best it to just be a bad headache with some confusion and at worst have her possibly think I’m a kidnapper and child predator.)
