multimuse i guess!

Oh really? You’re my mother now? Y’gonna hold me? Gonna be patient with me through my episodes? Be proud of my small victories? Help me reach my goals if I ask for a hand up? Gonna validate my mental illnesses and not belittle me when I express my need for boundaries? Support me through thick and thin? Listen to me when I need to be heard?

I don’t think many people know the gravity of what they’re so casually offering, nor how it effects those who see those kinds of offerings. I sincerely doubt they mean to cause harm. It ultimately comes from a good place, y’know?

Yeah... I can’t really hold it against them for wanting to say something comforting. And hell... maybe some people feel better from hearing things like that. I wouldn’t want to ruin the comfort of others just because I have a stick up my ass about it.
