#this happened a while ago and I’ve since reconciled w my parent abt it but I think abt it a lot

[mushramoo]

getting told by ur parent that they were advised to get u screened/diagnosed for something when u were little but didn’t bc they “didn’t want u to use it as an excuse” after u struggled for years thinking u were stupid/lazy/etc is probably the most insulting thing ever. like they just assumed that u knowing what was wrong with u was gonna make u not try anymore. I can understand the thought process but at the end of the day wouldn’t u rather ur kid be a little flippant with accomodations/aid than not have them at all and think they’re worthless??? idk talk to me
