I fear this might be me when im older bc my parents and siblings are so much smarter than me and I don’t do that great on tests. My whole family labels me as the dumb one and calls me a moron. I do think I have some learning disability but I am scared to find out bc what if I don’t and just have a low iq
i feel the same way for my dad. he’s dyslexic but it wasn’t his teachers that were trying to advocate for him, it was my grandmother while his teachers were the ones calling him stupid and stuff. you can def tell he doesn’t feel confident in his intellectual ability (even if it isn’t reading/writing related). it just breaks my heart and i feel so bad for him
Now I think about it tho my dad lowkey did this to me. My mom didn’t tell me until I was 20 and failing college after being a straight A student, but apparently she “always thought” I had “something” up w me, she said my dad wouldn’t let her get me tested or anything like that. My dad still won’t acknowledge my AuADHD diagnosis after a few years now. Can’t imagine how different life would have been if I had the coping mechanisms I needed as a kid
