I have been reading your post and it reminds me of an incident that happened with my own son who has severe cerebral palsy when he was 5 years old. He had recently been supplied with a specialist sleep system for his bed to keep him supported properly as he is immobile too but the sleep system was too big for the wooden surround of his cabin bed to fit back on, so we left it off.

One morning we heard a thud & a scream which was him falling head first off a 4ft high bed onto the floor. He has strong muscle spasms in his legs, which allowed him to push himself to the edge of the bed and when he fell he could not put his arms out to save himself. We rushed him to the hospital where they x-rayed him and thankfully there were no fractures but he had concussion.

We managed to get the wooden surround put back on the bed temporarily until a hospital bed was supplied for him. He still has a visible bump on his forehead where he hit and he shows signs of PTSD from it. He is now 23 years old and with (slightly) limited speech he will talk about it.

OP - Try not to be too hard on yourself over this, as there were other factors that were in play at time of the incident when the child you look after was injured. The changing table was too small, there was no side safety rail, no safety straps and there was supposed to be two members of staff with the child at the time.

Not kicked out. Never lived with roommates. However am autistic and parents wanted me to try to live on my own. My job pays well. I'm sort of the picture perfect "rich person that stumbles through life and does whatever" type person. Only, I'm not rich. I live comfortably though. And things definitely aren't perfect.

I've seen a psychologist like that. Discovered a lot, one thing being that I have a measured mental age of 7-11 years old. Despite being much over 10 years older than that. Simplified, means in many aspects of life, I view it and go through it as if I'm 7-11 years old. Discovered other things as well but this always makes so much sense given how I am. Going to see a psychiatrist/counselor soon. Curious how that will go

It's amazing I function at all in day to day life on my own but I stumble through and people around me sortve just make it happen if I fall short, it's like magic o.O

I know I'm very lucky, but I try my best.

...Well, I mean, I could see it being a FU if he's one of those guys who wakes up pissed when that happens. But now your entire school is going to know it's not a good idea to bully the student who KO'd the gym teacher, lol.

I'm really sorry for everything you've gone through and are going through. Fire your therapist. This isn't the right person for you. They violated your consent and you're right to be angry.

You don't get fucked up over night and you sure as heck don't fix yourself overnight. Clearly your mother needs a lot of professional help.

Can't say I know fuck all about the UK's health system. I do fully understand consent and any therapist worth a piss should too. The fact they didn't ask you if you were okay or didn't try to shut down everything right away is crazy.

Forcing someone who was sexually assaulted to touch someone. Get the fuck out of here with that. Is the therapist trying to inflict more trauma?

It is a process and it takes time. There's no way I could even possibly understand how you feel or what it is like to have gone through everything you have gone through. What I can tell you is it will get better. Sometimes it just takes a long time and it feels like forever.

With time you'll get to have the existence you choose. You can choose to leave people out of your life that are toxic and harmful to you. You can dictate the terms of your relationships. Family doesn't entitle them to do whatever they please. You can in fact force healthy conditions on love, they're called boundaries and your mother needs to learn how to respect them.

You don't see women as people. You're trying to mentally gymnastic your way around whether you are less of a piece of shit with G2 but the fact is you are terrible to both of them. If you were someone's B2 or B1 I have a feeling you'd feel differently. I'm not sure why you thought people in this thread would give you helpful advice to "fix" any of your terrible relationships.

It kinda is the equivalent of a sucker punch, well, as close a trained person could get I guess. Class of beginners and just hiding the fact that youve trained practically your entire life, could have definitely gone worse though. Could have also gone better.
