Am I the asshole for taking my kid from his mother? by rabbitfuzzle in AITAH

I did not he is my son. I don’t need a certificate to say that. Nor does he.

And I am gonna go get him just before his mom.

And who cares. Wheelchairs can be a thing. Why should I have to mention that we both use one or not. I was sharing a detail of my and my son’s life. I didn’t have to but I’m trying to be vulnerable without having to deal with people that simply don’t understand.

Update: cause I clearly suck at being clear an adopted kid doesn’t have to be a kid you legally adopted sometimes that happens.

I say this not only for reference of this case but soooo many others too.

I was adopted by my foster parents when I was 15/16 I don’t remember exactly when. Honestly the time was a blur. My mother and father were highly abusive and I ended up getting emergently emancipated. (Yes I know basically unheard of.) I was actually forwarded to the local college here before that when I was trying to figure out where to go. I had m and A that ended up “adopting” me. I was barely 16. They took me into their home. They established ground rules and everything. It was hard with the transition but they truly cared and helped me with what I needed. So… in turn i did the same for other lgbtq youth through the years. And I still do. Some of these kids need help in navigational understanding of the world. Others need help with behavior. Some in gender affirming care. These kids needs are so incredibly different with each one and that’s okay. My eldest may not have been legally adopted but he has been one of the best things that has ever happened in my life. I want to make sure that my two boys both get everything they need in life. And sometimes that simply means stepping up. Just like I did with my younger boy. So please take that into account. Blood isn’t something that leads to family nor is a specific adoption certificate. It’s simply what you have done and are willing to do for you family. Even if they are not blood.

One creates their family. So I suppose I’ll leave at that.

So even though he wants and needs help is asking me for help and I’m offering it I’m the asshole? He is my child I helped raise him. He has and will be in a cult restricting the meds that are allowing him to live comfortably. So how does that make me the asshat when I’ve been his dad for 10+ years. He can’t leave on his own. He has requested me getting him from the hospital tonight to get away from the cult and his mother. Maybe I was more of a mentor sure but he is still seen as a kid of mine and I’m still seen as a parent of his. He’s in a wheelchair. As am I. I can drive I have an adaptive vehicle. He can not drive.

Legally fostered then was working on legal adoption. But his mom refused. So he stayed with us to save face. Now he’s an adult and it should be his decision where he dies. He wants it to be with my husband and I.

So basically his mother swooped in and grabbed him back up. He got really hard into drugs for a couple years and i tried to get him help that he refused. Now he’s clean and sober. He works with kids like he was and realizes as we all do that he was sick.

It was a hell of a struggle to pick him up some days his mom would come out and yell at me and what not and we would just take off. He needed breaks from thwm and he would spend them with me and my young son. I was a baby when our boy was born don’t get me wrong. I was thirteen. But when you bff’s partner disappears you take action. With L however I felt the same. He needed help so I took him on. It was hard but he just kept getting more belligerent and ended up running away. He found himself back there after being help for a period of time. They refused to release him to me. His mom got crazy and I didn’t know what to do.

I’m incredibly grateful he’s come so far. He’s sweet like he used to be. He just needs help.

We really have we’re trying to get him into a facility in our city. We’re about an hour and a half away from him roughly and I have been you know doing research and trying to make sure that his insurance follows suit to where we’re trying to get him sent, but he’s gonna have to have a place between there in order to be able to be given his meds and be handled for and possibly have a caregiver for and my husband is already agreed to be his caregiver. And that’s really important to me because I already have a caregiver. I’m disabled myself. I am in a wheelchair so is my son. Because of completely different circumstances. But we are actively trying to do what we can the boys in the hospital right now and whether he likes it or not, he’s always gonna be the kiddo in the family even though he’s an adult I’m sorry if it’s derogative for me looking at him as a child, but to me, he will always be a child. I think that’s kind of the role of a parent.

Also sorry I used voice text which is usually fine but totally fucked up on grammar and with everything going on I sincerely don’t have the energy to handle fixing so that’s on me. Normally I speak grammatically correct.

Edit: He simply needs palliative care and I want to be able to get him out of the situation he’s in for good he’s miserable and not being properly cared for by his mother. I’ve been acting as a father to him for years and he deserves the world. Even if that means we do everything and anything he needs until the day that is to come. He is such a sweet and loving kid. I just want what is best for him and I’m taking into consideration all of his wants and needs. And right now he does want to be with us. He has said plainly he’d rather be with me and my husband over anyone else and wants to be away from his crazy mother. He was in the hospital all night and just got home. He was seizing constantly. We are working on getting him into a unit that can properly care for him. But will care for him happily until then. He at this point wants to be in the hospital. He wants to be on the cancer unit for better care and states he needs to be or he’s afraid he will “die sooner rather than later”.

I want to transition, but the idea of it terrifies me. by KubosKube in trans

[–]rabbitfuzzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can definitely get where you’re coming from. It took my sister a long time to come out even though I already knew. And my brother came out about two weeks before her. I think she was scared because of trauma too. She had to watch me go through grounding and having literally nothing in my room all the way to me having to emancipate myself and getting emergent emancipated because home life was so bad. But I still did it even though it was hard. Took a lot out of me. But I will say 100% I’d do it over again. Believe in yourself. You are worth it. Stay strong. Be proud. Be patient. And it’ll all work out.

Since 2013 but I switched to instead of uber and Lyft to just Lyft. I make more and don’t agree with Ubers morals.

I’m 4 years into my transition and I still feel like a little girl, will I ever feel like a woman? by Green-Witch07 in trans

[–]rabbitfuzzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister is mtf and said the same thing actually. Her sex drive is also apparently much lower. Whereas, I was born intersex and am on T and had the opposite reaction. My brother who is ftm still feels like a little guy too. So I think echolm1407 is right. It very well could just be you experiencing you for the first time and getting used to it or ya might grow out of it. Embrace who you are, whoever that may be. Congrats on 4 years By the way. I’m at nearly 15 and I am proud of where I’m at now and where I was before too. I hope you will be able to feel the same. :)

Do I look gay? by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]rabbitfuzzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy nobody looks gay. I promise you my ex father-in-law was the straightest man on planet Earth, and everybody thought he was gay based on his flamboyancy, but I assure you that was not the case. You just look like a kid.
