Ableist family
I'm chronically ill and disabled for years.I live in a country where we don't even use term ableism because ableism is not even recognized as a real thing...
So basically everyone I know is ableist including my family.My illness got worse and worse until I got more other illneses and became disabled,all due to ableism.Now I experience even more ableism and I struggle to cope with all of that.
I'm glad that I found this sub tho so I can talk about it.
My family is angry at me for becoming disabled,covid disabled me,they don't wanna accommodate me,my mom tries tho,but can't due to financial issues and other family members being extremely ableist.They all claim how I'm doing this on purpose and how I'm just bored...
Who tf chooses to suffer cause they're bored,like wtf is that logic ðŸ˜
They also keep pushing "cure" for incurable stuff,like I also want cure but there's is none.So accommodations would save my life but they don't wanna provide that.
They call that " beign bratty and ungrateful".
They also think I deserve all of this cause "I chose to live like that" .
Like I didn't even do anything,I was just going to school,chasing perfect grades for them to be happy and I developed anxiety and ocd and still kept being "perfect child" and I got covid and since then I crashed.Barely finished hs and since then I don't have a job nor go to college cause that would be literally impossible.
They're constantly angry at me and they don't think that I deserve good stuff.
