parents not believing their disabled child is actually disabled and forcing them to go beyond their limits is abuse.
parents calling their disabled kid a burden or a problem to them is abuse
parents using the disabled kids story to their advantage and making it more about themselves is abuse.
stop excusing abuse just because the victim is disabled.
Dude I totally needed to hear this. My mom HAS chronic health issues but for the longest time, denied anything was wrong with me. She’d tell me I was making it up to get out of school or doing chores, that I was lazy, that I should write a book of excuses, etc. Even after being diagnosed, she still expects more from me than my body is capable of doing. Because SHE was able to power through it when she was young, I should also be able to power through it is the way she looks at it.
Im so sorry you have to go through that, it isbt fair and no persons experience w illness is the same. You are your own person with your own personal struggles w illness. Fuck her.
Youre doing the best you can, keep going. I believe in you.
