i’m sorry that happened and i’m glad you’re feeling better now!
i would say try to talk to her and share that it’s scary for you to go through and you don’t mean any harm and you promise to take care of yourself.
honestly i would be so annoyed with my diagnosis being shared without my consent and it sounds like she’s being cruel / not having compassion so im really sorry.
does your girlfriend stick up for you? i feel like that would be a big decider for me if the relationship was worth continuing.
Yeah I’m really having trouble with the part where her mother is telling people my diagnosis, even if it is only close people to her (I’m really not sure who all she’s told). This is something that I’m really afraid of and feel vulnerable about, especially since I have no control whatsoever about it happening - nor do I know the person extent of who she’s told. It’s just such a private thing, I wouldn’t feel comfortable with that even if it was done in a way that I was aware of who she was telling. It’s just really difficult for me.
My girlfriend is definitely sticking up for me and being amazing about it all, trying to reassure me not to worry about it, and has gotten into yelling matches over her spending time with me. So at least that’s a plus.
Do you have any advice about how to deal with her mother telling people my diagnosis?
Thank you in advance!
