U/jesssaysthings: “My shower stopped working, I went to my mom who was sitting in bed and I said ‘my shower is broken’. She looked at me, annoyed, and shrugged. My bedroom light burned out. Same thing. I tell her, hoping she’ll at least give me a new bulb. she says ‘okay?’ And shrugs me off. She made me feel entitled for asking for necessities. So I stopped asking for things.
Most of my highschool life I spent in a room with no light, a kitchen with no food, a bathroom with no means to shower, one pair of pants, no socks, and in pain. Sitting in my dark room, Unable to shower for a few months (sink/washcloth bathing) i considered why some people shouldn’t have children.”
