wanting advice.
some elements of venting (family issues and body shaming)
so im disabled. im using ankle braces at the moment but they dont help the hip pain when walking and i do get ankle and foot pain too sometimes even with them on. ive tried crutches (but i was only able to use them away from family) and i know a cane doesnt help either
my family seems to think since im not voicing my pain then im not disabled enough for aids however i dont voice it because they see me as a hypochondriac and dont want to admit i could need more support than ||"lose a bit of weight"||.
i make jokes occasionally about my size but sometimes they take it too far. but thats irrelevent.
they seem to think the solution to my hypermobility causing me injury is ||losing weight|| and doing my physio. but i know i wont get to that point without an aid.
i need a wheelchair. i would buy one for myself. thats no issue
the issue is im now waiting until i move out to buy one when i need it now.
does anyone know how to go about that kinda stuff with family? anyone had it before?
its to the point im debating cutting contact once i move out. but they adopted me and have raised me since i was a toddler. theyre so good to me but i cant handle the pain of them not supporting me and not understanding i need an aid
