International Badass Activists

As Seen On Facebook | oh, the hate mail is thick today. Good, pay attention … I Wear The Shoes … via Eve Reiland

oh, the hate mail is thick today. Good, pay attention:

I wear the shoes of the disabled, often unable to communicate with language, and needing an incredible amount of care.

I wear the shoes of a autistic person who was abused severely by caregivers: physically, emotionally, financially, sexually and more.

I wear the shoes of the abused, vulnerable and totally dependent person when the caregiver was “venting” and getting all the sympathy points …

I wore the shoes while hearing my caregiver “vent” how much work it was to care for me. Me: The burden. The disabled. The problem.

This caregiver got something from that exchange … and the others too. I don’t understand what or why their “vent” sessions became what felt like a pleasurable past-time for them.

I know the abuse I suffered. I know what it’s like to be without words, cared for in public and in the eyes of others. And punished, starved, and more for my disabilities in private.

Filicide and abuse is so real. The acceptance of it towards autistic people is horrific. It doesn’t start with the headlines in the news. It starts here … and it must be stopped.

There’s a difference between support groups and echo chambers justifying abuse.

I wear the shoes.

  • Terri Schmidt Farrell Yet you feel it ok to viciously attack others? You cannot both be the victim and attack other victims. Empathy, love and positivity vs. parent trolling and spewing diatribes filled with hate

      Your example here only further divides us and hope that is not your point. I am not dismissing the victim bullying ( look it up, its common in Autistics)

      I am not minimizing your experiences as a parent but this is not a cause to our lives. A childs best shot in my opinion is with parents who can thrive and model good examples. We fight eachother and we achieve nothing. Instead of breaking down barriers and equitable supports to persons and families who need it the most. Allocating resources and rights needs to be based on due process, scientific evidence and best practices etc..

      Your example comes across like a man coming onto a women’s rights activist page and shaming her after she has shared a vulnerable personal message. Mansplaning how her advocacy hurts mens feelings and she needs to man up and stop acting like such a girl. How dare she be angry and hurt at the same time. That she can not demand rights and advocate against abuse because you know better because you are a man and a father. That daddy knows best about raising a women.

      Lets focus on taking down barriers etc..

    That’s the whole point.
    Victims do get to be nasty to abusers.

    • Jessica E Schneider Terri Schmidt Farrell I didn’t say anything about payments.
      She is not abusing anyone. She’s exposing them. If someone is hurting their child and you punch them in the face, you’re not the bad guy. Not sure what’s hard to understand about that.

  • Lindsay Mohler Eve, I’m so proud of you! Being a leader isn’t easy, and we usually have to address the not-so-easy stuff that other typically don’t usually have to worry about. Don’t let the stress of things get to you.

    And also, block them if they continue to harass.

    And we deserve a better society.

  • Keri Waterworth If you know how it can be, why go out of your way, lie to get in closed groups and then sneakily screenshot and take them to other groups and verbally abuse the poster, but in a way they dont see and then cant defend themselves. To me you have put a lot of people in a situation that they can not defend themselves. You should be ashamed of yourself

  • Keri Waterworth I dont think you quiet understand what you have caused with what you have done. A lady is in pieces over this. But as long as you get your screenshots out it doesn’t matter does it. The posts you have shared were from a closed group, of which you lied to get into it. Do not justify this, its sick and it’s wrong

  • Gina-Marie Cheeseman Just got into with one of the nasty commenters. She claimed to be a legal advocate, but when I asked her to cite specific cases where a social media post being shared is considered an invasion of privacy, she responded with vague quotes about the law. She’s full of b.s.

    • Danijela Turner Her profile indicates she is a support worker. Recent posts on her page also describe how she works x nightshifts in a row. She’s also an anti-vaxxer and blames vaccines for her now adult son’s autism. She’s desperate to get these screenshots deleted so clearly masqueraded as someone from the legal profession to instal fear. Rather revolting. I’m betting she’s actually a member of the group from where these screenshots were taken. We are looking at an angry, spiteful anti-vaxxer who probably still hasn’t come to terms with her son being autistic some 26 years later (particularly so if she is still providing continuous care to him living with her). Precisely the type of parent these hateful, negative, pessimistic FB groups attract.
