I feel like I keep falling for the same person and your article helped me realize it’s because I’ve been in the same situation—feeling like I have to lie about my physical disability and like I should take whatever treatment I get because I don’t deserve better than abuse since I’m a child of trauma.
There’s been an awful lot of people willing to abuse me and exploit me when I was willing to let them.
If I’m not willing to let them, it’s very lonely, but I’m getting stronger in myself.
