Sub-human treatment

Post Reply New Topic

My privacy has been compromised and it's not ok.

I'm not living independently and I'm dealing on a daily basis with my parents who haven't handled my diagnosis well over the years.

I'm also dealing with bullies everywhere I go. From the workplace to everywhere else, I know I'm different, and it's a huge pity party. I'm disgusted with how my life turned out. I just lost my job. It was nice to be a productive member of society. I've worked really hard to learn how to get along better, and it hasn't served me well in the long run.

I'm so sorry you're going through this

Seems your parents may have got the "parent of a disabled child syndrome" :/ I mean, raising a disabled child is a challenge and some parents seem to cope with it by making it part of their identity - but then the time comes when the child is no longer a child, they wants to cope with their life on their own - but that's stripping the parents of their long embodied part of identity! So they may unconciously fight to keep their child more disabled than they really is.

I may be completely wrong about you and your parents, I don't know your situation well enough. It's just something I've noticed happens worryingly often.

Thanks for the supportive words.

I’m sorry you’ve lost your job.

I remember how terrible I felt when I lost mine.

I hope you can find another job soon, and that your co-workers treat you better.

Thank you.
