Visiting parents, sibling, pibling, cousin, gparent: communication, priorities, name

[belenen]

icon: "overwhelmed (the character Keenan from "Playing By Heart," with hands over their face covering their eyes and head tilted back)"This week I'm visiting my biofamily: parents M and P, sibling Ace, grandparent V, pibling (parents' sibling) L and cousin E. I don't have a laptop with me so I probably won't be able to read anything until September

Ugh. I can really relate to not being able to trust my perceptions. It's just terrible.

I'm so sorry they're not using your name/pronouns. :(

Re: thigh chafing in a bathing suit, have you tried a product called body glide? It's a stick that you rub on your skin like deodorant - athletes use it a lot because they move so much that they're likely to get chafing.

I'll second body glide. Helps a lot.

I am sorry things are so rough right now. Keeping you in good thought.

Sending good thoughts your way. <3

I am also going to comment on the chafing. Does it happens at once while still on the beach before you can change back into dry clothes?
