Don’t get me wrong. I hate almost everything about this state. But I hate this the most.

I hate the fact that I’ve had to make progressively more difficult decisions over the years to ensure that my disabled family gets and retains access to benefits and services that we need. I hate the fact that we’ve had to fight for approval on some of those as hard as we’ve had to, even though the majority of that seems to be focused on me and my own struggles (though I would rather being the one to have to fight for these things and not either of my children, even though I am as deserving as they are of these benefits and services)…

There are a lot of things I hate about the federal disability system, but even more that I hate about Texas.
