I’m Not Doing This to Hurt You

There was an article on CNN today about transgender issues. The person in the picture was holding up a sign that stated “I’m Not Doing This to Hurt You”. I have often in my life felt this way. Especially in my family of origin but also with others. I’m not this way I didn’t chose my destiny. Maybe in some context I did but consciously I didn’t choose to be a blind person. I’ve often felt that parents siblings significant others and on and on get hurt because of my blindness. Hurt is a broad big word what does that mean. I think it means something different for everyone. For my parents perhaps what do we do?, a sibling you get all the attention, a friend or significant other I feel bad you can’t do it., or I can’t fix you, or I don’t know how to help you. You get the picture.
