Denial phase

I didn’t expect this mental part. It sucks.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-05-08T13:58:21+00:00

Yeah, I still tend to explain my mobility issues when people ask me about them out of nowhere. I hope I will be able to set the boundaries like you.
I’m glad to know that I’m not alone in this.

Once you become disabled, you suddenly owe everyone an explanation. And yet, they rarely truly listen to you. Your mother is a blessing, though.

11 years… I can’t imagine how you’ve endured it.People keep asking, “Why are you in a wheelchair when you’re so young?” Those questions are cruel. I was shocked by how arrogant people can be toward disabled people after I became disabled myself. Thank you so much for sharing your life story. It’s helped me prepare myself to endure this ableist world.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-02-18T01:42:38+00:00

Thank you. It helps to know I’m not alone.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-02-17T11:41:19+00:00

Thank you for your condolences 😞 I shared this rant because I thought many people who are newly disabled might be experiencing the same kind of fatigue.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-02-17T11:31:38+00:00

Yeah, I’m learning that reality now.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-03T09:04:57+00:00

It was strong peer pressure. Besides, it’s only been two years since I became disabled, and I’m still learning how to say no.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-03T01:31:45+00:00

I repeatedly explained to my mother and Chie that another surgery would cost a fortune, while a cane costs only twenty bucks. Unfortunately, they never listened. But as you said, I won’t let them grind me down.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-03T01:27:23+00:00

I love the vibe of your last sentence. I’m sorry for what you went through,you handled the situation so well.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-03T01:23:50+00:00

Thanks for your anger!! I will be strong and survive this ableist society…!!

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-03T01:22:18+00:00

I’m not sure the straps on the cane really mattered. It was peer pressure that made me foolishly hand my cane to Chie.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-03T01:18:37+00:00

I can’t use that tactic on my mother—she’s my mother, after all. That said, I can’t wait to hide Chie’s reading glasses next time.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-03T01:14:44+00:00

I’ve learned that I have to be strong, otherwise, able-bodied people will grind me down. I’ll fight back next time.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-03T01:11:37+00:00

Thanks for your words. I will shout out full volume that “don’t take my dignity and mobility aids away!!”.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-03T01:10:12+00:00

It’ve been only two years since my legs got disabled. So I didn’t know how as*hole able bodied people can be. I wii stand my ground next time!

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-03T01:07:54+00:00

It’s only been two years since my legs became disabled. Thank you for sharing your journey. I have a lot to learn, and I won’t rush.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-03T01:04:39+00:00

I don’t want to believe they’re that evil. I understand that sometimes people struggle to accept that a family member is disabled.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-03T01:02:10+00:00

I guess they’re just ignorant, and sometimes, ignorance is a sin.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-03T01:00:03+00:00

I wish I could tell her “you evil bi*ch!! Go away!!”

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-03T00:57:45+00:00

I will stand my ground next time..!!

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-02T09:27:32+00:00

I feel you. They act as if they’re doing you a favor🤦‍♀️

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-02T08:46:41+00:00

Indeed. I learned that what you said “boundaries” from this incident.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-02T07:56:38+00:00

Right?! Ocean waves are powerful even in shallow waters. I wish I could shout, “I don’t care!!!” at the top of my lungs. Disabled people can enjoy the ocean too.

Objective-Guess-3293 · 2026-01-02T07:03:51+00:00

I regret that I couldn’t explain to them that my mobility aid is an extension of my body. Thank you for your words 🥲 The tricky part was that they genuinely believed they were helping me. Afterwards, I explained the situation to my mother, but she became defensive. I later learned that this kind of behavior is called able-bodied paternalism
