"Then look at me like you used to! If you love me so much you'd look at me like you did when Mom was around!" "Oh my god. It's a boy?! I knew you were weird for [redacted] but you never said it was a fucking boy."
"He's dead obviously, but i see 'em. I see bits and pieces of his soul scattered about." "He didn't come back 'ere?" "No... no I haven't seen him since [redacted]." "No, no no. It's not right. We must keep tradition! We have to. I have to make sure of it." "I know what your people think of me, but I wont sit here and play pretend.”
I am not a waste for needing extra time to heal from the things no one saved me from.

as someone with club foot, PLEASE WRITE MORE CHARACTERS WITH IT☹️ also it can be disabling, and it can affect the knees, hips, and ankles if comorbig with another condition; commonly knock-kneed. another thing though is to avoid "curled", it just sounds weird; curved is a good alternative with the same effect
A guide to writing club foot.
To understand what club foot is, you need to understand it's causes. You can't develop club foot in your life, you develop it in the womb. It can be from how you're positioned, how you develop, etc.
Club foot is the twisting of a foot in the womb. It is a birth defect.
Note: the only reason why I put "cures" in quotes is because of continued nerve damage that'll continue for the rest of your life. However, people who undergo successful treatments can live a normal life.
400 BC: Hippocrates described manipulating the foot and placing them with bandages, much like modern day treatments.
1834: The Thomas Wrench was discovered. It was used to forcibly change the position of the foot.
70s-80s-90s: This is when surgical treatments became popular. There are a lot of methods for correcting club foot, but the most popular are postero-medial release (PMR) which entails the extensive release of the contractive soft tissues of the clubbed foot/feet. Surgical treatment can give the foot a more "normal" look and ensure that the patient can walk on the foot. This does not erase any nerve pain, though, as overtime the foot can become stiff, weak, and show early arthritic changes. This is why this practice kinda fell out of practice.
The Conservative Technique:
Casting and wrapping to stretch the foot/feet and molding the bones so that it's less painful and the patient can walk on the feet/foot.
LANGUAGE:
What language do you use to describe club foot and what to avoid.
Words to Avoid:
Gross
Disgusting
Anything related to how "gross" the characters foot looks, or how the mc wants to "throw up" at the sight.
Words to Use:
Curled
Clubbed/club
AIDE:
Mobility aide is something many need as they get older, some even use it when they're younger. The list includes:
Crutches
Canes
Wheelchairs
Braces
Walker
