▲ 39 r/Epilepsy
my dad pretended my epilepsy didn't exist until i was having a TC at school
he would constantly insinuate i was lying about auras to get out of school, make me feel like shit for something entirely out of my control that i've been dealing with since i was EIGHT.
i try to talk to my mom about it, she says she can't control my father. he tells me he wishes he had a healthy kid and that he's just being "hopeful". well i'm so fucking sorry to break the news to you that i'm not healthy. i don't know what he wants from me. i can't snap my fingers and be normal.
he only cares when i'm on the floor unconscious violently jerking. even then, after a while he stops caring. he told me that he thinks my NEUROLOGIST is "taking the easy way out" by diagnosing me with epilepsy after TEN YEARS of seizures. i'm so fucking annoyed.
