Recently, a judge in Tennessee has terminated the conservatorship of former NFL player Michael Oher and the Memphis couple that had been caring for him. This news has been welcomed by many who have followed the story of Michael Oher, who was the subject of the 2009 movie The Blind Side.
Michael Oher was a homeless teenager when he was taken in by the Tuohy family in Memphis, Tennessee. The Tuohys provided him with a loving home and helped him get an education and eventually a football scholarship to the University of Mississippi. After a successful college career, Oher was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 2009 and went on to play for several other NFL teams.
In recent years, Oher has struggled with mental health issues and has been living with the Tuohys since 2017. In 2019, the Tuohys were granted a conservatorship over Oher, which allowed them to make decisions on his behalf.
However, this week a judge terminated the conservatorship, stating that Oher is now capable of making his own decisions. The judge also noted that Oher has made significant progress in his mental health and is now able to manage his own affairs.
This news has been met with joy by many who have followed Oher’s story. It is a testament to his hard work and determination that he is now able to take control of his own life.
The Tuohys have also expressed their happiness at the ruling, saying that they are proud of Oher and will continue to support him in any way they can.
It is a heartening story of how one person’s hard work and determination can lead to success. Michael Oher is an inspiration to us all and an example of how we can overcome our struggles and take control of our own lives.
