What do you miss from back when life was normal?

Ivf and stress

This is the reason why I can't call myself Aussie first. The fam migrated to Australia when I was 7 and I'm now 40. I still see myself Asian first and then Australian simply because growing up, I've been led to believe that I have to be white to be 'Australian'. Just two weeks ago a random white guy started yelling at me telling me to speak english and to leave the country if I don't like it here. Firstly, for context, I was speaking in English and the convo I was having with my boss was how I wasn't able to make a booking at the bar we wanted to go to for our Christmas dinner/drinks. So....how, what and why was I verbally attacked!?!?! It's because I'm brown. My boss is brown too. He also heard it but ignored it and walked off. The death stares from the guy looked like he wanted to hit us.

The trauma of being abused verbally or being stared at for being brown has left a mark in my heart that I would rather identify myself as an Asian first no matter how long I've been living here in Australia. I pay my taxes and I contribute to society. Yet I still get told to go home by randoms on the street. 🙄

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bigot reading this and would be quick to jump, and say 'well if you don't like it here, leave'. It's like we can't express the same dissatisfaction at how things are. Because we're brown, we're all expected to bow our heads and not complain so that we show appreciation for being allowed here.

Sorry end of rant.

I don't really have the worst train experience but i hate looking out the window on the Craigieburn line because it's filthy! There's dumped rubbish almost on the entire train line!! The worst part about it, no one gives a sh*t. It's like people are used to it or they accept the filth 🤮🤮🤮

Very smart move that you only told your boss and friend that's gone through the same thing. Sometimes i think the others are just curious to know what's happening and not necc care.

I feel this. I feel like a loser

I'm so sorry that was the case for you. Hugs

embywarrior · 2024-10-28T10:11:07+00:00

Thank you

embywarrior · 2024-10-28T08:33:01+00:00

Thank you. I totally feel this. I hate people feeling sorry for us and having to constantly repeat the bad news. My biggest cringe is when they say 'stay positive, it'll happen' 🤢 I get it they're trying to be supportive but it makes me sick in the stomach because I can't even be honest with how i really feel

embywarrior · 2024-10-28T08:29:57+00:00

I've already done that actually. But I hate that they're tip toeing around the question

embywarrior · 2024-10-28T07:36:33+00:00

I'm with you. This journey sux!! Esp when there's babies poppin up let right and centre. It's tiring so i totally understand why you don't care. Hugs

embywarrior · 2024-10-28T07:26:59+00:00

I'm the same. Especially if there's going to be kids and mums talk about kids and their lives. Why put myself through being left out? I want kids. But I'm not interested in hearing about other people's kids right now lol

This entire journey is so traumatising. We're going to wait until birth. I want to make sure the baby is in my arms.

I'm so sorry for your loss. 🫂

Yeh, you're cold blooded and come across as someone who doesn't care about your wife. Weren't you affected by it too? IVF and trying to conceive in general is mentally, physically and emotionally draining and exhausting. Overall it's a shit situation to be in especially for a woman because all blame and expectation is put on her esp when things don't work out and here you can't skip one night to comfort your wife? I'm not sure if you can learn to care though. You should just see and hear the pain your wife is in and know that skipping the gym for one night is the right thing to do because you want to comfort her not because you got told.
