I want to strangle my nephew for being rude to my mom ON FACEBOOK.
They were talking about how they hate having adhd (they wine about it frequently, actually) and my mom gave some encouraging words about the pros of it. They replied:
listen... grandma... the few good things about my mental disability dont make up for the constant struggle it is. while im glad that you want me to be happy with my disorder, and while there are some times when i love my ADHD, the vast majority of the time it is merely and obstacle to success that is nearly impossible to overcome.
there are good things about ADHD, i can and will admit that, but honestly? i cant do my homework. i cant finish my chores. i cant read a book all the way through. i cant open my computer without getting distracted. i cant focus on things that matter for more than an hour.
i dont have a functional medication, and my diagnosis came far too late in the game for me to effectively develop strategies to function as a normal (read: neurotypical) person who can actually do the things he is responsible for.
every single day is an uphill climb on broken legs, so i apologize if i cannot be in love with my developmental disorder 24/7
It's always excuses about why they can't can't can't. Dude, how many times have I told you that I was on Ritalin and anditepressants for all of my teen years?
I know you want to be a boy, but stop acting like a whiny teenage girl.
(This is in no way saying I do not accept them for being trans, I'm just so angry that they think it is acceptable to speak I their grandmother that way when we live on the east coast and they live on the west. Facebook is the ONLY way my mom gets to talk to the kid)
