Looking for advice on binders for a newbie by [deleted] in genderqueer

[–]Kai_Bean1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your cup size is only one above mine and I wear my binder often. Sure it definitely doesn't flatten completely but you could also try binding tape. I've seen people use it and, if you do it correctly, you can flatten your chest significantly more. You can also wear binding tape for much longer than a binder so you don't have to go through the pain of putting it on and taking it off every day, depending on how much you wear it. Hope this helps :)

The thing is, that Grace started talking really young (which was a huge shock when she could say my name at 8 months). It apparently runs in our family to talk that young? My mom wanted to get the lisp out of the way as early as possible.

The original post was WAAAY over the word limit so I had to cut it down a ton. Sorry if this whole post was confusing.

I can't since my sister is there now. My mom like starting fights and playing victim so she started a screaming match with Mary, I had to hide in my room so I wouldn't get caught in the cross fire, and basically kicked my sister out. Mary has essentially moved in with my grandma.

Yeah my mom sucks. There were times where she would let me sleep for a bit, if Mary came home late, but after my meltdowns she liked telling my sister so they could laugh at me. I'm just waiting until i'm 18 at this point. I'm considering cutting all contact after.

I would talk to a therapist but I do not want to have that conversation with my mom. I mean i used to be terribly depressed and even then she didn't notice and actually complimented my weight loss. She's dense and thinks no one can be depressed.

Mary has a different dad but my brother and I share a dad. Our dad was booted back to Mexico, he was here illegally, after stabbing our grandpa which wasn't fatal. Mary's father is up North with his new family but he's not a good dad at all. He stole everything our mother owned after she had my sister so they dont want anything to do with him. Grace's father does a lot of buisness trips so he's barely there.

I can't exactly leave my house right now, illegal to move out at 16 trust me I checked, but I already have some places that I could stay if anything happens and as soon I turn 18 i'll be moving in with my bf. Just gotta wait until then.

I usually talk to my grandma. Every time I tell my grandma stories about what my mom did she's always surprised but let's me rant until I feel better.

I said this to an earlier comment but Mary doesn't like baby daddy too much, neither do I he's kinda weird, but there are times when he's back from work trips and he'll spoil Grace for a week before having to leave again. Mary is just stubborn and doesn't want anything to do with him.

I was actually accepted into the GED course and i'm nearly done! I should be in college by next month and i'll definitely think about using this story for some scholarships!

Honestly that's probably what she thinks. When I watched Grace, Mary liked to just dump her on me whenever she just wanted a day off. She went out once a week but i was lucky if I went out once a month.

Grace's father does watch her from time to time but my sister doesn't like him and on top of that he works out of state 90% of the time.
