I kinda want everyone in my life to see me burn out and fall on my face.

Tbh it's not my sole responsibility to give a shit about me. I've been working every day except when I steal one for myself. Which means we eat less that week. There are people in my life that should do a better job, they should be empathetic and help. It's horseshit to expect out of a person what is expected out of me.

It's not about boundaries, it's about survival and the selfishness of humanity. I shouldn't have to work every day just to scrape by. That's a failure of my government and society. My son's father should get off his ass and play with him. That's not my damn fault either. And the fact my family sucks and makes no effort with my son or I isn't my fault.

I have been strong. I have blamed no one and done what I had to do to survive.

It is not my failure that people don't give a shit about each other anymore.

The lot of you that tell me it's my fault might as well be MAGA in training.

Through no fault of my own I have been diligent in therapy, with my health, with parenting and with working inhumane hours to afford a modest life.

And the part that neither shocks nor disappoints me anymore is that most of you would step over my carcass and tell my son the same crap you told me.
