#my mother responding to stress : I have become an expert in trans healthcare and now help draft pro trans legislation and am regularly

[bitchfitch]

You know, in the past I have given my mother shit about her primary response to massive stress being to put her head down and work herself to the bone at a project. but like over the last few months I've come to realize that is also My primary stress response.

Which means I can't complain about it anymore, and I Double can't complain bc when She puts her head down and works she does shit like gets a doctorate and modernizes the way the medical community in several Texas towns respond to hurricanes. When I do it I just write tens of thousands of words of fanfiction.
