MzMia,

My willingness to take someone on, yes, I can see commendable in that. But here's the thing, that I don't think is so over the top. She's not crippled in the sense of physically, other than the blackouts, that come on occasionally without her meds...

She has both arms, all of her fingers on both hands, two thumbs, two healthy eyes, a full head of hair, a beautiful smile, a perfectly (in my opinion, as well as many others) formed nose, both legs, a nice ass, a wicked imagination etc.... I mean, I could go on, but I don't think it's necessary...

My point is there is by far more right with her than there wrong with her, or challenging... Her issues are handled by medication, and she's with it enough to take them on time (or mostly... When I get up there, that's going to be the impetus for lots of sadistic fun ), so she doesn't have the issues... I mean, other than having to take meds, noone knows she has a disability so I'd hardly consider it one.

Even as I was considering her for collar, I knew of her disabilities, financial situation and her children. Along with her past history in relationships and the abuses she's suffered over the years...

Over all, she's very well balanced and a brightness in my day... Every day... Something (in the sense she's my slave) and someone (in the sense, obviously, that she's a person, and a wonderful one at that) I find worth fighting for, and over.

She's also very energetic and capable of service... So I don't really consider her disability (no matter it keeps her from being able to hold a just over broke) a disability. Just a quirk... Kinda... Heheh.

But thank you highly regardless for the praises and it's possible, yes, quite a few probably do need to read that, perhaps. If for no other reason than to realize that we find what we find to fulfill us in the most unlikely places sometimes and we shouldn't be negatively judgemental due to someone elses challenges or worries. Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual or in any fashion.

Peace.

Time for my 2 a.m. question.
Masters? Come out and play.
 
Would you Masters take a submissive that was very poor and/or
physically handicapped or with known mental illness?

Why or why not?

I mean poor with no end in sight poor.
Maybe living in a trailer with 4 children and eating beans every night type of poor.
Physically handicapped as in disabled in a wheelchair, paralyzed in the right arm, or
partially blind. 
What about known mental illness?  Something being controlled with medication, but
well, the woman still has glaring "issues".
 
This woman despite her limitations is very sweet and would make a wonderful submissive.
Would you overlook her infirmities and bring her into your life?

Poor is a relative issue, what you are talking about is abject poverty. I am not a dominant, but as a submissive, I wouldn't move into that situation, so I couldn't imagine many taking in someone in that position.  Mistress isn't rich, neither am I, but our bills and our needs we both take care of quite well, and that was my only financial prerequisite for anyone I would serve.  I can't speak for Mistress, but if I couldn't at least support my bills, then I couldn't see Her having taken me in.   He's correct

For the physical, it would honestly depend on the disability.  I worked as a rehab nurse for 7 years, and I understand quite well what the level of care would be for various maladies.  However, if Mistress were to become disabled, it would be different, because that would become part of life in the relationship and I would serve and care for Her.  Again, not speaking for Her, I'm sure She would reciprocate the care.  He's correct.

I think every single person on the face of the earth is screwed up in the head some way or another, so I feel in that regard it would just depend on the level or type of mental disability they had. 

I think in this lifestyle, responsibility is so huge in WIITWD, and personally, I have to see that same responsibility in regards to life outside of the BDSM realm.  Quite simply, if you are too batty or ill equiped to take care of the UM's properly, you are simply to irresponsible or fargone in the head for me to trust you hitting, cutting, whipping, etc. me also.

I had a friend in college who had submissive tendancies and was a wheelchair user, if I'd have had -any- real idea about BDSM when I was a crummy teen, I'd have collard her in a heart beat-she was great;beautiful, very intelligent, funny and really feisty. 

The one that got away!  To tell you the truth I am in the market for a submissive with a mild or slight disability.  I often find people that aren't or trying to be "perfect", more loyal, dedicated and compassionate.
Funny how many end up alone or in serial relationships, because of the "diamonds" in the rough, that they do not SEE or want or find "desirable".
They prefer the more "desirable" people that treat them like crap.

As far as not having much money. Who -has- got a lot of money? only a fairly small number of lucky people so that wouldn't put Me off.

Ain't that the truth.

Mental illness, as a poster has already said, can be controlled, so again, no real problem there.

I think the real question is how far out of your comfort zone can you go when looking for a sub?.
This statement is deep and somthing I will think about for a long time.

Thanks for posting HalloweenWhite, I hope to see more of you.
Boo

Poor with no end in sight of not being poor- no.  Because I cannot sustain us both financially and provide a fulfilling and healthy life for myself and another person.
