My mom took away my orthodontic care as a punishment when I was a teenager, so I ended up removing my own braces.

Are you ok now?

I’m okay in that I’m an adult and will never interact with that woman ever again if I have it my way. I’m not okay in that I’m an underemployed trans man in the south.
I have epilepsy and probably TD from the time when she had me knocked out for 2 weeks on Resperdal as punishment for telling on her (she’d get too fucked up on weed and oxy to remember to pick me up from school.) PTSD specifically related to mental health care makes it very difficult to get mental health care, even if I had insurance. EMDR would probably be best for long term help, but my therapist is worried that it would trigger me to the point that I couldn’t function. I wanted to move out of state to get away from my triggers, but right now really I’m just trying to hold on to my apartment.
I’ll be okay when the child torture facility that helped her do that is closed down. Weed and art and Star Wars are here to remind me that it isn’t all pain.
