(vent) Can I have one day where Cal isn't saying how he feels sorry for me or "be glad you don't have a life"? I DO happen to have a life. I have stresses. They're just not the normal every day stresses that "normal" adults have. (Some are, but most aren't. I'm aware of that. )
I don't have to worry about the normal adult bills, but I have bills. I have to stress about how I'm going to get to this location or that location every week without feeling like I'm bothering someone (because lately, that's how Cal makes me feel) .
Currently, I am stressing about my cerebral palsy, and my incoming diabetes cause those are stress inducing. So yes, I have a LIFE. and my life is nothing BUT stress. At least they can get around. At least they can hold down jobs (even if they are stressful on occasion)
I wish he wasn't like this Like, I get that it might be hard to understand, because I certainly can't put myself in your shoes, but I at least try to be respectful?
I already feel bad enough myself. I don't need extra people making me feel worse. This hasn't been easy for me or anyone close to me to deal with, least of all my Mom. She' s seen it coming for years
It just seems so patronizing? Like. Holy shit you're still a person and still an adult (even if none of us are at heart, hehe). You can be sympathetic without groveling in pity and have expectations
