Holy cow, LW is awful. Is this letter real or a parody of parents?

Since 2010/2011, I have had chronic fatigue bad enough that I hold on to walls walking around my house, and use a power wheelchair whenever I leave my house.

I need a shower chair to sit down to have a shower.

Sometimes I get too fatigued to understand other people talking or people on the TV talking - it becomes just sounds, not words.

DESPITE all this, on MANY different occasions I have had parents tell me "until you have a child, you don't know what being tired really is" or "don't talk to me about being tired if you don't have a child."

Um, if you can work 20 hours a week and don't need a wheelchair, you are less fatigued than me, child or no child.
