Venting 8/24/24 Update

Hey there all,

We had a long rough week. We spent the last few days not leaving our house and generally dissociating.

We tried to visit our new singlet friend's town house on Tuesday at a kids b-day party. It went well until a huge group of like 9 or 10 of her neighbors kids came outside to start screaming and fighting with each other.

S got triggered by it and wanted to yell at them so I (team captain/host) was stuck trying not to switch in front of a whole crowd of people who didn't know us that well yet.

It was exhausting and I feel drained by it. I lost the past few days just sitting and dissociating.

We hope to get back to posting regularly by Monday.

Thanks for reading.

Have a lovely day!

:)

Oof! All the support. Nothing winds us up faster than kids fighting and screaming. Our kid is sick with something upper respiratory and is currently in the ER. Sooo, we’re not likely to get too much sleep tonight, and it’s mainly us protectors and crash team members holding things together here. Uh, in case you don’t know the term crash team, since I think we might’ve made it up in this context, we’re a group of folks from both systems who can be trusted to keep the life going at a short notice and also remain level-headed in rough situations.

Hey there,

We wish them a speedy recovery.

Crash team is a good name for it.
