How's your headspace, friends?
As Mastodon's unofficial spiritual leader, I should set an example and #Confess to you.
I've been dealing with resentment for being the "least disabled child" in my family, with the double-whammy of "eldest daughter syndrome" (with a fundamentalist Christian twist).
Raising a disabled child, while you yourself are a disabled child, is hard work.
I have new hard work now:
I need to learn how to genuinely forgive my family for putting me in that place, and not giving me the help I needed.
@RamenCatholic Definitely a difficult situation. Seems to me, though, that your ability to state the problem in this way is very positive and bodes well for your future. Respect for your confession!
@joewynne thanks, you're very kind!
I hope to provide an example of "how to be a functional person" someday, instead of being a "cautionary tale"
