Questions of being a disabled parent and income started to be discussed. And finally my partner broke up with me due to my disability. He had been supportive and my rock for two years as I learned to manage it. He worked as best he could to unravel his own ableist mentality but when it came down to it in thinking about his future.

I was wondering if anyone, Related to this?
