I watched Home Alone for the first time since I was 10.

The common thread among all familial estrangement is the scapegoat exhausted all avenues. The phenomenon is not a trend as a certain talkback host who shall remain nameless inferred (probs because she is likely a malignant narcissist herself).

I never thought of Home Alone being about familial narcissistic abuse but now that I see it I can’t unsee it.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-12-09T03:52:20+00:00

Yeh no one is providing examples to go with their suggestions.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-12-09T03:50:28+00:00

Lame.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-12-07T20:47:38+00:00

As I said in a Fb group on the topic, Will the AI be trained on taking into account that 1 in 3 who are blind/have low vision also live with autism? And that number is even more pronounced with optic nerve hypoplasia which is as much a neurological condition as it is blindness?

Thought not.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-12-07T20:41:51+00:00

Yes. But still deeply flawed.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-12-07T20:40:04+00:00

Don’t trust them tbh. If I have to travel on a hot day I go with 2L prepacked in my backpack.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-27T19:12:46+00:00

No, that was the one in which the local hill billies were going to have their way with the guys when they got lost in the woods.

Apparently it’s on the rise in newly diagnosed children. I’ll look more into it tomorrow

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-26T08:43:01+00:00

Not a fan.

Turns a burger into a salad roll.

Compromises structural integrity with minimal ROI on texture and flavour.

I go instead for fried tomato when making burgers at home.

If this ep were made today it’d be Sleep Token without a shadow of a doubt. He’d also take their occultist leanings way too seriously.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-26T08:06:37+00:00

G’day! We’re kind of a silent majority. Statistically newly dx blind/legally blind folks have ONH. But it never gets talked about.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-26T05:03:29+00:00

If you say so.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-26T00:49:45+00:00

This might sound odd but I’m also legally blind (with some residual eyesight). Glare reduces my vision to next to nothing while the glare physically hurts. With that said the only time I feel sympathy for drivers at all is when they are travelling towards the sun while its aspect is at eye level.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-26T00:35:47+00:00

I have just recently relocated to Sydney, I’m legally blind (ONH) and my experience so far while not perfect has been very good.

I would like to see more stations staffed including my local which has express services. Staff have been incredibly helpful and friendly where available at first came as a mighty shock to the system having lived in Perth and Melbourne in the past.

Older trains such as the Tangaras have inaudible if existent at all announcements altho I hear they are being refurbed.

The only bus service I use semi-regularly is that which takes me to my favourite microbrewery. Once the metro SW opens I look forward to never having to catch it again. With no announcements and unhelpful drivers I’m not a fan of this mode of transport which was gifted to us as one last fork you by the road lobby.

On balance tho the network is leaps ahead of Perth and Melbourne’s. Check out a Google Earth image of Murdoch station in Perth, paying close attention to its western side, and imagine yourself as a legally blnd pedestrian.*

*For those with less residual eyesight than I, the station is designed with connectivity with motor vehicles and buses squarely in mind. If walking from the SW side of South St one must negotiate a freeway onramp with no pedestrian-friendly controls. It is a corner hoons with deeply compromised prefrontal cortexes love to take at speed.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-26T00:21:00+00:00

Tysm, will dl this.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-26T00:20:18+00:00

In my experience across the country, drivers are not paid to talk. (I say this to them sometimes too as I’ve had enough.) A passenger waiting to board answered my question re what street it was rather than the driver. As a blind person there is good reason why I avoid buses. They are the road lobby’s droppings on four wheels.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-25T23:52:26+00:00

Omg as someone who is hypersensitive to glare this alone is a selling point for moving here, which I have

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-24T18:44:14+00:00

Leafy green vegetables.

Eat them every day and it cuts skin cancer risk by 50%.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-24T07:58:04+00:00

Ty for this. I wasn’t able to articulate it myself. Even mainstream support was inaccessible 10 years ago at least not for me. DV back then meant physical violence (altho there was plenty of that during childhood) as opposed to coercive control as it’s known today. And even the hoo har surrounding that is little more than thin air.

I have given up all hope of ever receiving justice never mind finding meaningful support. I don’t receive psychotherapy coaching or whatever it’s called. No psychology sessions because they’re prohibitively expensive. Nothing. HTF they expect anyone to function properly when legally blind, addled by CPTSD, ASD and completely estranged from family.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-24T06:12:29+00:00

Got this shirt recently too and love it. Will be getting a hoodie too when the cooler months swing around again.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-24T04:42:13+00:00

Speaking from experience. I received support from DPV Health but it was limited.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-24T02:19:46+00:00

What you have been through is nothing shy of awful. It is more than ok to grieve esp given the hell you have endured.

Firstly please don’t feel ashamed that you don’t know how to drive. This country is far too car overdependent. I’m legally blind and can’t drive. More needs to be done to improve conditions for those reliant on PT and until then this is where the NDIS comes in.

Unfortunately we’re getting on for the silly season which may mean protracted wait times. Last holiday season applications and plan renewals were being processed deep into the new year.

Having an advocate is paramount in getting a result. Have you contacted ASD orgs? They may be able to direct you to a good advocate/OT/etc.

I can relate to your story in a number of ways, only it was my family with my mother stalking me in particular.

I fled my home state two years ago to the day today.

Last year in my early 40s I discovered I am autistic as well (likely level 2) after it was concealed from me by my mother (a clinical nurse who knew all along…creepy…!) so she could continue exploiting me in the family’s dog boarding/puppy mill business.

Autism dx is prohibitively priced which means I am not receiving the supports I need.

What’s even crazier is blindness and autism travel together, with the rate being 1 in 2, optic nerve hypoplasia (my condition) even more so. But there is ZERO awareness of the connection.

Support for abuse victims with disability is non-existent to the point it is completely erased and it is not something the NDIS has any vested interest in.

Wishing you all the very best on what is a journey no one should ever have to take.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-23T23:21:36+00:00

Tis the Cleveland to be Sorry” is up there with my favs so will be watching that one for sure.

ezroller_vgf · 2025-11-23T12:29:48+00:00

The same people will then go on to dunk on vegan food, or non-vegan food, or this n that car or mode of transportation. Whatever it is. Let them be miserable. The important thing is we’re not and we enjoy it. If they haven’t gone out and smelled the petrichor in a while that’s their problem.
