It’s so frustrating being spoken for. It is something I’ve tried not to do for my kid as she’s grown, and as a result I’ve become more aware of when it happens as an adult.
No one asked me if I wanted to help… they assumed I would and were frustrated when I didn’t.
No one asked me how I felt about not having babies… which is probably a good thing because maybe I wouldn’t have reacted wisely, but also felt isolating and lonely.
No one asked me how my business is doing… and made statements about what I need without any context or inside knowledge.
No one asked what I needed… and then when they did it was too late and I had done it myself.
No one asked… they spoke for me, over me, against me, assuming my intent and needs.
And I was left alone.
