It has come to my attention that I was listed as a “dependent” by my caregivers on important government documents. Dependent. See, that’s a funny word because it implies that somebody depends on someone else who then meets their needs. I’m not trying to get anyone in trouble here and it is not my goal to see people I care about incarcerated for more than a couple of days, I just want to make sure your definition of “dependent” is as flexible (read: shaky) as theirs is.
