Financial Support needed ($0/1,500)

Hi all.

On the 11th of August, my elderly cat was admitted to a 24/7 vet clinic due to his rapidly deteriorating health. What started as a simple disinterest in life a few days ago has turned into frequent retching/vomiting that stops him from sleeping, breathing difficulties and refusal to eat. When he's not actively retching, he's drooling, licking his mouth due to the awful taste of bile and in a constant state of discomfort.

Since we brought him in, we've discovered that he's got a small amount of liquid around his chest and lungs, a large ulcer present on his tongue, a faint heart murmur and inflammation in the mouth.

Along with the costs of his medication, we've got to pay for his X-rays, bloodwork and oral exams. Any and all finances that are donated during the next week will be used to pay for these bills.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and please don't worry if are unable to spare anything.

some extra photos of my little guy. the blanket he's wrapped in in the top left and bottom photos is one i've had for nearly six years. we constantly fight over it because I use it for my own comfort as much as he does for his.

Edit:

He was discharged today. The official bill is over $1800. Truly, anything helps.

He’s very sleepy at the moment ❤️ So unbelievably happy to have him home.

Quick question for clarification - are you saying that abuse at the hands of a person with NPD isn’t real? Personally, I was severely abused at the hand of my clinically diagnosed NPD mother and have been in therapy for it for years. I don’t understand how you can make a general claim that such abuse doesn’t exist.

I constantly post about child abuse. I constantly post about the massive cruelty adults inflict on children. I constantly post about children being treated like absolute garbage. I constantly post about how everyone would instantly notice certain actions as heinous crimes when done to another adult but see it as acceptable when done to children. I constantly post about how difficult it is for children to heal from the trauma that adults caused them. I constantly post about how so many adults would rather have a child be scarred for life than have a child be disobedient or non-conforming.

So I'm well aware that abusive parents exist. I have no idea how someone can read what I post and get the impression that I'm denying that parents abuse their children.

But demonizing people who have the same mental illness as your abuser instead of people who have the same power as your abuser is complete nonsense.

My grandmother: Or, in other words, there's only ingredients in this house

"That person had to be involved in the murder somehow, they never ONCE showed any grief"

or, just maybe, people handle grief differently and how they react to someone passing is never going to be concrete evidence that they're guilty.

[a-sip-of-milo]

Guess what. You can recognise that your parents were trying their best and still acknowledge that they messed up. Stop telling people who open up about their childhood trauma that they're ungrateful because they haven't forgotten about the fact that the people who raised them hurt them.

DNI if you believe in cluster-B abuse.

Over the past few months I've started learning Italian, and there's one thing in particular that I feel needs to be said.

If you are someone who:

Bullies people for having a hard time speaking

Believes someone's opinion is irrelevant if they can't vocalize it

Believes that even certain aspects of it are easy and that there's no excuse for getting it wrong (yes, that is something i've heard)

Take some time to learn a new language. Any language. Really sit down and put some effort into learning how to communicate in a way that you haven't grown up with, and I promise you, you'll better understand why those people you make fun of have such a hard time.

Language is not easy. English is by far one of the most complex and inconsistent languages out there when it comes to its rules, and I see far too many people making fun of those who have chosen to give it a go anyway.

And there's so many reasons as to why someone with English as their first language may not have the best vocabulary. Disabilities, sheltered/poor/abusive upbringings, etc.

There is no excuse for such ignorant behaviour.

My brain when I'm driving: omg there's so many things i'd love to do right now, let's brainstorm ideas that you can't write down because you're driving and get excited about an activity you haven't touched in months and

My brain when I actually try to do those things: you want me??? to work???????? i'm sorry i can't do that

It is not okay for your parent to say “I guess I’m just the worst mom/dad” when you express that you’re upset or hurt by something they said or did.

This also applies to other relationships, too. You shouldn’t be hearing “I guess I’m the worst friend/partner/etc” when you express being upset or hurt by something they did. Whether it’s intentional or not, it is manipulative.

When you’re upset, you should be allowed to express that safely without them making it about them. It shouldn’t lead you to comforting them and possibly feeling bad for saying anything (and possibly feeling too anxious to say something in the future.)
