@alotofcells Before I even read the caption I was stunned by how beautiful you look in those glasses!!! I’m so sorry they don’t make you feel beautiful, it’s not irresponsible to get new frames if you’ll feel more confident but trust me these do look really good on you!!
@alotofcells …and simultaneously a deeper respect for her and people like her who work so hard to overcome generational cycles of abuse and become kickass loving parents despite their own mental health struggles and traumas.
@alotofcells Sadly it was obvious that her societal position as “sub-human” was extremely relevant to both the court decision and how she was treated by our whole family, but all it did to me was instill a deep disdain for people with that limited and hateful perspective…
@alotofcells Wow I relate!!! So hard. Obviously from the child’s perspective, and I can say from my experience it quickly became clear who was more emotionally present, supportive, and treated me as an autonomous person, regardless of the stigma placed on her by my other parents.
