I have the opposite problem, my right hand and arm are like easily 1.5 if not 2x as strong as my left hand because I’ve been cranking it 1-5 times a day for the last 18 years. I could open up an armored bank car like a sardine can.

I should have asked for a link way before now, but I'm still intrigued so uh, please?

So, here is another fresh 'fesh but I'm gonna put it under spoilers because it's pretty dark. I guess don't read it if you're sensitive to medical trauma or reproductive regret.

There probably are a LOT of people who feel like you feel - maybe even some who could commiserate and offer you some sort of understanding and hope.

I am curious why you believe you won't be free to pursue your own life until your child is 30 though. You're still allowed to seek fulfillment as a parent through things other than your offspring. It's normal and healthy, even. Necessary?

I don't think that it's their own life that they're waiting to pursue.

Anonymous confessor, that's an absolutely heartbreaking story and I'm sorry you're hurting so badly and have been for so long. I am glad that you're still around for your kiddo, and that your love is keeping you anchored even if it's so painful.

I would encourage you to find some kind of support structure however you can, even if it's just someone to vent and dump to.
