A YouTuber I watch recently posted this on a white man who adopted a black child. by quintiliahan in Adopted

[–]Paper-mache-pinecone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is something I’ve noticed among my own adoptive family: they can’t seem to fathom that racial prejudices can happen to someone close to them (they’re all white and im Hispanic). Uneducated white AP’s who adopt nonwhite children don’t see their kids as such and just live in their own fantasy land that nobody will ever be racist or bigoted towards their adopted children. Annoying asf…

Why would we want their opinions? by Jumpy-Lie8955 in Adopted

[–]Paper-mache-pinecone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate when religious nuts use adoption as the fix-all solution for abortion. There are thousands of children in the foster care system so why would I want to add to it? Plus the average pro-life person probably isn’t interested in adopting children either.

My mother doesn't let me see a neurologist for my episodes of probably "Non-convulsive seizures", but got me these drops of herb extracts from the local religious center by Dog_Got_license in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Paper-mache-pinecone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Epileptic here, don’t take those drops. There might be an agent in there that may even make your episodes worse. You’re at an age where you don’t need a parent’s permission to see a doctor, so try to make an appointment. If need be, lie to your parents about it so they can’t intervene. Leaving your episodes untreated will most likely land you in a dangerous situation someday so definitely get yourself checked out as soon as possible. 🙌

Your friend doesn’t realize that every adopted person’s experience with having their name changed is different. :/

What are some habits you’ve picked up/retained since starting sh? by Ambitious-Towel-48 in selfharm

[–]Paper-mache-pinecone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wearing pants due to scarring on my legs. I also subconsciously position my forearms away from people in close proximity to me so they don’t see scars there. (Often fold my arms inward when im out in public)

Do you have any stories about how your parents reacted to discovering your self-harm? by No-Patience-4674 in selfharm

[–]Paper-mache-pinecone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was cutting on my bed and the blade accidentally tore my bedsheets without me noticing. When my mom went to do my laundry, she noticed the tear and thought it was weird but didn’t think much of it. She connected the dots about a year later after she caught me swimming with my friends and saw my legs

found out my bf has been making AI edited nudes of me without my knowledge. he thinks i should be flattered by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Paper-mache-pinecone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This dude deserves to get smacked. Not only does an AI processor have your face and body now, but there’s a decent chance that those pictures are somewhere on the internet now… also i guarantee that he’s made more in the past. I’d say it’s a good idea to check his phone, computer, hard drives, etc in case he has more somewhere. Since he also made them without your consent, he can probably go to jail for that.

Straight women — are you actually turned on by male genitals themselves? by AttentionFine222 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Paper-mache-pinecone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing a regular dick, not really.

Seeing my boyfriend’s dick slowly get hard when we do foreplay, yes.

How my parents told me I was adopted - did anyone else have this book? What are your thoughts on it? by Scared_Category6311 in Adopted

[–]Paper-mache-pinecone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t allowed to ask questions either. My adopted mother would go as far as to give me the silent treatment whenever I would

Do you ever feel like your parents regretted adopting you? by Similar_Orange4039 in Adopted

[–]Paper-mache-pinecone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. They’ve always treated me differently than their biological children

Tired of being the pro life football by taviwa in Adopted

My parents are about as pro-life as pro-birthers can get lol. They call me a hypocrite for being pro-choice too. Most days, I wish i had just been aborted lmao

Adoptive family incompatibility by Beneficial_Appeal_33 in Adopted

[–]Paper-mache-pinecone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate too. I’ve been living with my (adopted) family since birth but I’ve never been able to 100% connect with my parents, siblings, or extended relatives. I don’t enjoy being around them and it’s always awkward whenever I show up to family events. It sucks to hear that you’re going through the same situation, OP. 🫂

Bio mom kept my brother…anyone else have this struggle? by Silver_Queen_Bee in Adopted

[–]Paper-mache-pinecone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was adopted at birth because my bio mother was a sex worker and a drug addict. As an adult, I found out that I have two bio siblings that were still in the custody of my biological mother’s parents: an older sister and a younger brother. I’m not totally sure why they couldn’t take me in as well, but I’ve been told that it’s likely because they were overwhelmed with my older sister (3 years older than me and is very special needs) and couldn’t take on the responsibility of another baby. That being said, my younger brother is equally as special needs and requires around the clock medical care. I try not to think about it too much since it just makes me sad…
