I am reposting this because I cannot make my update without it. It has not been altered at all. Save for this caption, it's exactly as it was before being removed by the entitled parents mods. I recently saw a similar story read online, and realized I just had to tell my own. This will be my one and only Reddit post. And I'm posting it because I thought telling it would help me feel a little better. I've been to some counseling, and talking about this in particular really helped.
So I thought why not just tell it online too. So I am. I'm 18 this year. And fairly recently on my own from my parents. I have a sister about 10 years younger than me. She was an unplanned pregnancy, and nearly didn't make it to term. I don't know many of the details of how rough my mother's second pregnancy was since I was never told much. But I do know that it was so hard on her body that my mother could no longer have kids after my sister was born.
It’s so unfair that your birthdays were overshadowed. You deserve recognition!
It’s heartbreaking to hear how you were overlooked on your own special days. Every child deserves to be celebrated and loved equally, and it’s not right that you felt forgotten by your parents.
you’re using your experience to help yourself heal. 🌼 You’ve shown incredible strength in overcoming feeling overlooked for so long. Remember, your feelings are valid, and you deserve to be celebrated too!
Your parents should’ve done better. Everyone deserves recognition! 💯
Sharing your story takes real courage! ❣
It raises questions about how we view unplanned pregnancies and the impact on families. Shouldn't parents be more prepared for the emotional and physical consequences instead of putting that burden on their older kids?
Shouldn’t parents try to ensure all their kids feel valued? Ignoring you for the sake of your sister seems pretty selfish! 😬
It takes a lot of courage to open up about such personal experiences. 🌟 Your journey of healing and self-discovery is inspiring! Remember, you’re not alone, and there’s a brighter future ahead. 🌈
Healing from this kind of emotional neglect isn’t easy. Can a family truly recover if the same patterns continue? 💔
It’s tough to forgive when the damage runs so deep. Can true healing happen if the same patterns keep repeating in family dynamics? 💔
