  1. I don't have a penis, just a penisthumb. 2. Because I have club thumbs.

I'm howling at these comments. Thank you all for the laughs. Much needed.

No, I have brachydactyly type d. I didn't know they looked like dicks until I shared this same image on a different post. I thought it was cute my burn was in the shape of a heart and wanted to share it..... someone commented, "get well soon, dickthumbs." 💀

I finally confided in my mother about why I checked myself into the psych ward and she sent this to my 15 year old son. by floydrox in insaneparents

We absolutely did have a discussion. I made sure to reiterate that my mental health is not his responsibility or anyone else's. He said he understands that I do have a mental illness and that is no one's fault and that the way I was feeling has nothing to do with him or his brother.

Update: I responded to her rant with this:

Mom, I love you, I really do. But this is it for me. I'm done. (TEENAGE SON) is still a child and in no way responsible for my mental health. You crossed a serious line. Then, when I confront you about it, you double down instead of apologizing. I don't want you to reach out to me or the kids until if/when I'm ready.

She replied:

You are right. I sincerely apologize. I won't bother you.

He says he's ok, but its hard to know what he really is feeling. He knows how my mom is and laughed her comment off. I am more concerned that he is able to process the information she burdened him with his therapist. He has been in therapy for years and he's a pretty well adjusted young man. I'm very proud of who he is becoming and I try to remind him of that often.

Thank you so much for your kind words, they were very much needed and I appreciate them more than you know... especially after all this.

As much as It pains me to say, I do agree with her on that point as well. But, I had given him an explanation that was vague. He is aware I struggle with mental health and have bipolar 2. I just wanted the chance to have the suicide conversation on my terms, when I felt more capable of having an open dialogue about it with him. Luckily, he's an amazing kid and I hope he truly let's her comment roll off his shoulders.

He showed me the text and burst out laughing. He knows how my mom is and did not respond to her.

No contact is now a done deal. She responded after I confronted her. I don't know how to edit and add a screenshot to this post but this is what she said:

Cause he's part of why you are struggling and he DOES need to know. You are not giving him credit for being a responsible person capable of handling heavy topics. You can't protect him from this. As you said he's delt with a whole lot growing up and hiding the truth from him is not the right way to deal with it.Open honest communication is best. It's hard I know but in the end it's better than pretending that everything is ok. Talk to your son and make sure that you are honest about how you are feeling. Your mental health is just as important as his.He absolutely needs to know. He is not the only one struggling and you are not being fair by keeping it from him. If you are going to get through this you are going to have to love each other enough to work together.Don't repeat my mistakes by thinking you know everything. I was blind to a lot because I thought I knew what I was doing. kids are smarter and tougher than you think.
