I was born with a disability and I have been through a lot all my life...
So because of that most of my family have and still are putting me up on that pedestal.
All because I've lived a hard life they think that I need to be treated like royalty, but I don't want to be treated like that I hate it, I just wish they wouldn't do it.
And NO I'm NOT special, yeah I've put up with a lot but I don't want to be known as special, I would love to be known as the person who WENT through a lot but is just an average person!
Apart from being up on that pedestal, I hate it when the close family only remember my birthday and not my younger sisters, when they do that, it's like they're pretty much saying to my sister "oh yeah, happy birthday it's about a month late but you shouldn't have been born". I always get birthday cards early or on time and my sister will be lucky to get two cards (if any) and they are always a week or a month late.
OR when for example, my partner does my hair and even when I mention what a good job he has done, I'm the only one who gets noticed, they never pass compliments to him.
If I'm in a picture with someone, I include them but I still get all the credit.
It just feels like the people in my life don't matter, all they see is me!
EVERYONE, PLEASE don't just stop and think about what you're doing! I don't want to be the only one who gets noticed, I DON'T want all the attention put on me, I'm JUST the girl with a disability, I just want to step down from being on that pedestal!!!
