" Due to some of his personality traits he finds it hard to develop or sustain social relationships".


This written in a letter supporting my move to be near my stepdaughter. This written from the perspective of my being diagnosed with a personality disorder. The only problem being personality disorders don't develop till late teens/early adulthood and I can trace my social difficulties to way before the teenage years. It's things like this that legitimise the belief that mental health professionals are often not the most intelligent of people.

Why do you need a letter to allow you to move closer to your stepdaughter?

I needed the letter because the move was to be in social housing in the area my stepdaughter lived. If you are a blood relative it is easier to make such a move due to the rules governing such a move . I had to emphasise health grounds for getting a place there ie how it would be better for me being near my stepdaughter.
