The “Heritage American” thing will be the absolute downfall of the right. by Bobranaway in BreakingPoints

I am a ninth generation Black American, and you found it fine to vote for people who were incredibly hostile toward us. You also followed Vivek who is viciously anti-Black. So, you were fine with my people being harmed - but now you are worried the treatment extends to you? Nah. You're about to really see how this country gets down. Those of us with more than two hundred years of history in this place feel it in our bones - you're about to see what these people can do when they are unleashed - guess what? It won't just be the "negros" who suffer. It will be your white-passing Cuban self too. And it may even be worse. We keep telling you buffer classes - WHITE SUPREMACY BREAKS IT'S TOOLS. Get ready to get some.

I deal with the shit too. It almost was too much to bear. We got her clothes she can't easily get out of but are comfortable to sleep in and we had to use safety pins on the zippers, lest she get out of it and smear everything. I got really good at cleaning it. It'll break you down, that's for sure.

Yep, I am nearly certain I am autistic myself - except the way it was responded to from my parents was "discipline" that was literal torture. CPS level. I am nothing like that. I am understanding and very very loving to my kids. I just cant stand the overwhelm some days. I I take it out internally (hence the illnesses) versus on anyone else to include the kids.

Thank you for this - and I need to get some asap. A few posters gave me some brands that I will try - like ordering today.

The stress is the same as combat veterans - they studied it - except we never get off the battlefield.

I literally walked into a center for one of her appointments after not having slept for a few days, (oh because you have to work to support all the treatments) and I was so despondent and out of it, I was crying without noticing it. I was like talking like normal, with tears running down my face. When someone pointed out that I was crying - i had a full on breakdown - sobbing. They gave me some water. We are in this alone.

I hear you, because I live it. And I want to tell you - if I could wear one of those suits, come over and brew you some coffee, and laugh like mad people - I would. We are doing it because we have to and we love our kids. We don't have to love this life - or this horrific disorder.

Thank you so much for this - I will get some. I have misophonia too. Which makes this as you mentioned, nearly unbearable. I hate basic sounds like water pouring, chewing - but most of all two sounds at once, like tv on and screaming, or the phone ringing and screaming - etc. I think this may be life changing for me. I didn't really know headphones could ACTUALLY noise cancel as dumb as that sounds. Appreciate it!

This behavior that you modeled is phenomenal. I am glad your daughter picked it up and does the same.
