๐๐๐ Hi Grace, thank you for sharing your heart with us. The grieving I understand ~ receiving a diagnosis and coming to terms with it.
This here is so important ~ how we frame these, as gifts/ally or a curse.
Remind myself that I am who I am and it comes with being hyperaware and hypersensitive. When I was younger, like you, the backlash from parents was harsh.
I wish you all the best in this next journey of becoming all that you can be ๐
