Disabled veteran in Alaska feels abandoned by system
A 100% disabled veteran in Alaska is feeling defeated after facing serious mishandling of their case by state agencies for the last two years. The veteran has experienced falsified documents, broken agreements, and discrimination based on their disability. Despite filing formal complaints and seeking help from various organizations, including legal aid and lawyer referral services, the veteran has not seen any positive outcomes.
Feeling forgotten and emotionally abandoned, the veteran is struggling to find support as their chronic illness flares up and their child is affected by the situation. The veteran questions how to keep going when it feels like every system has failed them and no one cares.
In response, advice is given to reach out to national organizations such as Disabled American Veterans and Wounded Warrior Project for advocacy and support. The National Disability Rights Network is also recommended for legal advocacy and representation.
The veteran is reminded that they are not alone and encouraged to seek help from the Veterans Crisis Line if needed. Despite the overwhelming challenges faced, the veteran is urged to keep fighting and not give up.
In another letter, a friend expresses frustration with a chronically late friend and seeks advice on how to address the issue without harming the relationship. The advice given focuses on setting boundaries and communicating openly with the friend about the impact of their lateness on the friendship.
