It’s day 460 of my journey towards independence and day 10 of vacation just fed myself boiled yellow bananas for breakfast – it’s actually quite tasty – my parents are off to my dad’s cousin’s engagement right now and of course they didn’t take us – my siblings and I – because what would people say if they brought a ‘sick child’ – me – with them and they can’t take my siblings with them because then it would be obvious to me that they were ashamed of me the irony of the situation doesn’t escape me in the process of trying to protect me from discrimination my parents themselves are discriminating against me I feel sorry for them actually because even murders and rapists have pictures up of their children on their jail cell walls while my parents would do just about anything for people not to know that I am their child.
