@clhubes Omg. I had my one child that would eat anything and one child that would eat about three foods. Now that child is a very skilled cook who could probably if he wanted make it any kitchen in the world, he’s that good at cooking and flavours. He’s force feeding me these days!!
Make sure you know what you're retiring to.
This was a hard post to write.
I almost didn't write it in fact. I've started and trashed this story many times.
But I believe there are important lessons in this story we can learn from.
Warning: this does not have a happy ending.
@terra155@stephanypanhuy1 In a much better place, thank you for your kind words. It’s taken a lot of professional help that while I would pay a trillion dollars just to have a healthy son for, is probably out of reach for some families. Body positivity can not be underestimated.
@SugarsKath This is shocking. Knee replacements are traditionally known to be very painful. A patient controlled pain device is standard, panadol would be a complementary analgesic only. How distressing for everyone.
@kum3nj0@Theholisticpsyc That’s not guilt. That’s resentment. Resentment that you can’t make a person do something they aren’t yet ready or able to do. Still enacting those trauma responses myself at times, but understanding and awareness helps me forgive myself and see it differently.
My favorite thing is when I stay up too late and my dog passive aggressively puts herself to bed without me, like “YOU do what you want but SOME us have work in the morning.”
@Toni25848534 @AndrewBrownAU Nope. For that I am grateful. I’m nurse immuniser, so I get it. Immunising works. I’m not complaining about the process just pointing out it’s been tough for them especially.
