Wish me luck.

So far the first two meetings with these people haven't really gone anywhere.

They seemed promising but so far a whole week has gone by and nothing concrete has happened. They have applied for my disability, but this should have been done by One Door Mental Health 11 months ago.

I have no idea why in a year they didn't do it and Centrelink did it for me on the 27th of October.

The worst part of this is all these departments don't communicate. If they communicated and the services were linked, they would speed up the process for people at risk.

Instead, since 2016, I am still struggling to find stability. The discrimination disabled people in Australia face is actually troubling. Actually I won't even say people. I will say DISABLED MEN.

My kids mother was fast tracked disability and she was given government housing. It's absurd when she was the one who destroyed peoples lives with her crime and drug use. Men are treated far more harshly and more is expected of us, including devaluing the seriousness of our mental health. Men are also not believed when we try to explain that we were the victims, even in my case where I provided PROOF with police reports, bank accounts and more.

Who in their right mind would remove children from a loving father with disabilities, and give them to a woman who has a track record of abandoning her children, having others raise her children, who is an alcoholic, meth user, a criminal and also violent. A woman who also lived with a man who has been in prison for drug dealing and assault.

INSANITY.

I am just glad he was arrested. That way my kids have one less criminal to live with.
