my food allergy family

there are two members of my family who live with food allergies, myself being one of them. it is something that can be exhausting to deal with and even lead to wanting to avoid lots of social situations. i feel like a bother to people, even though i know it's thier problem if they don't want to be educated enough to help keep others around them safe. i'm never asking total strangers to have my back with this issue, but sometimes i feel like i might as well be, by the reactions i get from friends and even family.

there are, however, good days! very helpful friends, family, and even strangers! i am thankful enough for those to be able to maintain my sanity.
