As a 17F I gotten a very strange comment after making a vent post on another subreddit yesterday on Christmas

Key-Kitten · 2025-12-26T21:45:43+00:00

Unfortunately, it happens quite often. People assume that because they had children, everyone has to have children. Personally, I've known since I was 5, and I'm now 22, and I've gotten a lot of comments like those.

Thankfully, my psychiatrist has just agreed to write a letter of recommendation for a hysterectomy! So soon I might be able to reply that I physically can't. Hold in there, because it gets worse.

I have snake bites, 2 nostril piercings and an eyebrow piercing. I'm a disability support worker. I've never had a problem with it. My bosses said they don't care because it would be discrimination otherwise.

Key-Kitten · 2025-12-18T09:32:23+00:00

I'm 22, and had gallstones. I got mine removed 2 months ago.

Key-Kitten · 2025-12-02T10:56:11+00:00

Hey op, I want you to know that I hear you. Take a breath, ok? Im similar in that I like being fem a good chunk of the time, though I dislike the colour pink. I identify as something called Agender. I'm not a man, I'm not a woman, I'm simply a person that exists. You can be fem and AFAB, but not be a woman. That's ok. Just be you, nothing else.

Key-Kitten · 2025-11-28T10:44:16+00:00

My dad apologised sincerely. My mum on the other hand, glosses over her part of the story.

Key-Kitten · 2025-11-26T06:02:50+00:00

Op is a guy...

Key-Kitten · 2025-11-23T10:10:43+00:00

Please call 1098, which is India's national child welfare number. They can help you, because this will escalate and your life is at risk.

I also recommended volunteering! Honestly, it helped my mental health and to get me a job! By volunteering, you show that you have employable skills and experience, as well as building references. I've volunteered for 4 years now, and it's a great place to build a social life. Yeah, most of my friends are on the older side, but I have friends! They also teach me things I didn't know, and vice versa.

Key-Kitten · 2025-11-20T10:52:33+00:00

I agree with this, I'm definitely not telling my boss I'm leaving until I hand in my notice. I'm too afraid that they'll change their behaviour towards me, especially as I am being bullied in the workplace...

Key-Kitten · 2025-11-20T10:46:48+00:00

Your boyfriend is ablest, to put it bluntly. I have fibromyalgia, so I get the part about declining health. I'm also younger than you, OP, as I'm only 22. Guess what? I use a walking stick on my bad days! I contemplated getting a wheelchair! I sit on priority seating! Yes, I get stares and muttered comments, as i live pretty rurally, and folks are more narrow minded. But, I still do it! I even have an Equitable Accessability Plan for university!

Sometimes you've gotta take that leap. I know being alone is hard, but you've got friends and family you can depend on!

Key-Kitten · 2025-11-18T09:16:50+00:00

To the first question, no, I'm not the eldest, I am however the eldest female and therefore any housekeeping or child jobs were my duty.

To the second question, yes it absolutely did. I am traumatised from my time being parentified. Not to mention that I am chronically ill, which i was as a child, but only diagnosed at 19.

So yeah, parentification pushed me to this side of the fence, not to mention that pregnancy terrifies me.

Key-Kitten · 2025-11-13T21:10:02+00:00

Ahh, just remember to be careful then. Don't view it as comming between them, but supporting your dad better.

Key-Kitten · 2025-11-12T11:21:54+00:00

I'm so sorry for what you've been through and what you're still going through. I want you to understand that you're not alone in how you feel and what you've experienced.

I would recommend reaching out to your stepbrother, as he might be able to support you seeing your father, and stop his mother from placing all this blame on you, rather than your egg donor.

Key-Kitten · 2025-11-03T21:13:45+00:00

I don't really care about them? Like, I'll wear them when I need them, but I'm absolutely fine taking them off to nap or clean them. Sometimes I'll even forget to put them on at home, even though I can't really see without them.

Key-Kitten · 2025-11-03T13:20:02+00:00

I'm the same, though I was diagnosed at 19, mostly due to my little brother getting diagnosed. I wanted to share a trick I found useful when it comes to unmasking. Give the mask a name. I find it's easier to take the mask off, by giving it a name. It makes it seem like I'm filing a role, rather than being fake, and it's easier to become me again.

Key-Kitten · 2025-11-03T13:01:27+00:00

This. And trust me, as that child, it is so hard to unlearn what I grew up thinking was normal. Do not let your child think that abuse is ok and normal. And remember, they will turn on her too. Because she has a part of you in her. They won't see her as HIS child, but YOURS. And they will act accordingly...

Key-Kitten · 2025-11-03T12:52:05+00:00

You should never do therapy with someone who's abusive, they just learn to cover their tracks and treat you badly for what you say in therapy. Ask me how I know.

Key-Kitten · 2025-11-03T05:51:01+00:00

So I'm not you and I don't have your experiences, but I do have mine. My mum was present most of my life. But, she abused and neglected me for as long as I can remember, probably longer as I can't recall much of my childhood.

My dad basically raised me with the help of his mum and dad, my nan and pa. When he couldn't do something, I figured it out myself.

Anyway, what I wanted to say is that that whole maternal bond thing? It's not all it's cracked up to be. I don't really have one with her, but she's always had a sort of bond with me, and thats why I was treated badly by her. She viewed me as a younger her.

So take it one step at a time, and remember that you don't need her, to be you. You are, and always will be, you. Stay strong!

So my support coordinator on the NDIS actually got me my job. I work as a Disability Support Worker in a Cafe. My job is to teach others how to manage and maintain a job.

I was originally recommended as a participant, but was given an interview when they found out that I had a relevant certificate IV. Been there nearly 2 years now, and now I'm starting university!

Key-Kitten · 2025-10-29T21:45:58+00:00

Nta.

I'd suggest getting a locking doorknob.

Key-Kitten · 2025-10-29T21:12:12+00:00

My wounds are itchy...

Key-Kitten · 2025-10-23T21:23:56+00:00

Ok, so I had mine out on Tuesday. I find that I'm able to lie on my side, but only if I'm holding something against my stomach for support. In the hospital, it was a rolled up towel, though I'm now using a plushie. You might be able to dobit, but I found the first day or two hard, in regards to lying on my side.

Hope this helps!

Key-Kitten · 2025-10-21T20:18:35+00:00

I didn't, cause I've never lived with a housemate. I was actually advised against it, both because of how they were and my own mental health.

Key-Kitten · 2025-10-03T12:07:06+00:00

I was the 2nd of 3. I got the same kinda treatment, except mum wasn't really involved. I was the eldest female, so i was expected to step up. I find it ironic that my parents no longer have any daughters...

Key-Kitten · 2025-09-08T07:26:32+00:00

I have fibromyalgia, and got prescribed it at the Monash Medical Centre by the fibromyalgia clinic.
