As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:

“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.

Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.

    my mother is much the same, though in my case it’s because i actively hid my disability from her more when i was younger. it seems to me that the fact im disabled hurts her sense of self image of being a good parent, or something like that. so it might be similar for u. i dont have any advice but that sucks comrade meow-hug

    • meow-hug I definitely resonate with that. I feel like when i talk to her you can see the dissonance hitting her, its like she knows she cant deny it but there is something internally that is holding her back from admitting it and she isn’t willing to let it go.
