This young woman was Born Prematurely, along with her Twin Sister, and she says that it was a direct result of her mom undergoing IVF.
The older she gets, the more she ends up resenting her mom for making this decision in the first place, and she also Resents her sister for skating by with no major complications.
Unfortunately, that’s not the case for her, and she has had to battle incredibly stressful events (both emotional and physical) due to being born prematurely.
“I have a foot deformity that I have to wear orthotics for,” she explained. “It limits my choice of shoes, and I will never be able to wear a pair of heels that aren’t ugly.”
“I’ve had to go on growth hormone at 6-years-old due to being behind developmentally, resulting in me having more responsibilities and needles than a normal kid would have. Needles every night and frequent lab tests.”
“I had developmental delays when I was very young, and as an adult, I have severe ADHD, dyscalculia, and auditory processing disorder/sensory issues. I got bullied due to being developmentally behind/small size, and have had my mother blame me for things that weren’t my fault.”
She is also battling a quite complex trauma diagnosis, and she basically has no friends in life since she doesn’t trust that people won’t hurt her.
On top of all this, she has a chronic illness, HS, and it’s painful. She feels quite ugly because of it, and the only way to treat her illness is with a medication that costs a ton of money.
And if that’s not enough to deal with, she has severe anxiety, depression, and was just diagnosed with Bipolar II, which she inherited from an uncle.

“I have to grow up watching my twin sister have everything be easy for her,” she said. “Friends, not getting bullied, being the pretty “normal” twin, and having no mental health issues.”
“She has had no significant complications from her prematurity compared to me, and I resent that she lives an easy, NORMAL life without having to deal with all this medical baggage from not choosing to be born.”
“I hate it when she whines about her problems, with her “problems” being getting a C on her medical school exam. It makes me want to scream at her and tell her she’s an ungrateful brat for whining about something as petty as this because she has no REAL difficulties in her life.”
But, there is nobody she resents more than her own mom. She thinks it’s her mom’s fault for putting her in this position (which is not one she ever would have chosen) since her mom would not accept that she couldn’t have children.
She feels that her mom is selfish, and she’s the one left living with the consequences of her mom’s actions on a daily basis.
She abhors having to live with so many challenges and problems, and they keep on piling up. Her life is nothing but heartbreaking.
“I am the worst mistake my mom ever made, and it was a mistake I was ever born,” she continued.
