Way over my Head! Don’t let your mistakes cost you!
I just wanted to inform my friends here at LD pride to be very careful of what you sign. Try to understand everything fully. Even if you have to being a knowledgeable friend, family, or even lawyer to explain it too you. You just may be signing your life away!
Unfortunately, not understanding can be a costly mistake! Although through trial and error, I am learning a lot. I wish I could avoid contracts altogether, but I have learned that they are in: health clubs, credit cards, car loans, apartment leases, buying a home, and Lord knows what else.
“I don’t care if they have to explain, or read it to you! Have a knowledgeable friend to go through it with you.” I am letting you know this so you don’t hurt like I am. AND PLEEEEEEASE, GET A COPY!
Just to let you know a very long story short. I joined a health club with a “friend” of mine, here in Maryland. Both of us have LD. Unfortunately, I moved further away form the club. Although I tried to work with them, I felt like I was getting nowhere. So my “friend” suggested putting the monthly payment on my credit card and canceling it. So I did that, hoping to cancel the contract. BIG MISTAKE! Now, it’s haunting me.
I am trying to live life the best way I can, and as independently as possible. But I always feel like I need someone with me, to help and explain things. I guess we can try to live as independent as possible, but we will always need assistance one way or another. Ya, I do pray and ask for help. But I need continuous support from friends and family. Unfortunately, the family is not as supportive and understanding as I would like. And good friends who live near me are hard to find. I bet this is why we go through so many depressions. At-least writing this out helps me cope somewhat.
Unfortunately, I also feel like when we get at a certain age, were just pushed out into society and expected to make it out there on our own. I pray that you get the support and comfort that you need.
So in this time of need, please keep me in your prayers.
God Bless
