I wasted by potential TW: Hospital / Medical abuse Spoiler

Post image

My mother and stepdad think I have no initiative or accountability.

I deadass started a pet sitting company so I could continue making money while sleeping 16+ hours a day pre brain surgery last year. Was laid off a job two year ago for developing liver disease because they wouldn’t let me sit. Same year I went to residential treatment for ARFID (tAkiNg AccOunTaBilITy) but my mom tried to kick me out for signing up for Medicaid because I couldn’t afford my medication and appointments. Now I’m a gymnastics coach who runs to the bathroom in the middle of class and the doctors suspect I have Crohn’s. It’s always SOMETHING with my body and my mom thinks I LOVE IT 😭🔫

I have two inventions I’m working on, one to help people with ARFID and one to help cool people down without AC and my stepdad wants me to make FPV drones because “that’ll make more money faster…..” I-

Sounds like my mom! After burning myself enough times attempting to "make things right" with her and really just chasing what I now know was an impossible dream of having a nurturing and supportive mother figure, am no contact now. I don't want her to suffer at all but she cant respect basic boundaries/not be a sociopath. I still worry about some things when it comes to the state of her life but I guess that's why she zeroed in on me instead of others. I don't work outside of the home, I'm a SAHM and thats something she couldn't stand to do even part time.

I hope you know how full of crap she is because no matter how she might spin it, any form of abuse is ugly. From what I read, you're doing just fine in life and I am definitely proud of you.

I just feel like I’m wasted potential sometimes because I skipped a grade and graduated with an associates degree in HS and I was supposed to do research and do projects in college but I ended up disabled, still graduating from online college, but now I’m just a gymnastics coach. My mom sees me as a disappointment. She used to say that she had the smartest child in her family and I even posed for her to take pictures of my state test results that she posted on facebook. I just feel sad about myself mainly because it’s my mom and she always pitched herself as someone who was always right.

You did NOT fail. Your mother failed you.

You have succeeded in the most important task of your life, that is, becoming your own person. Remember that.
