I am quite certain that the teacher did not understand the horrid things that the mother did to you. This is because the things the mother did were horrible and so far beyond normal family life that most people cannot imagine that things like that happen to children. People just don't picture that kind of thing. The teacher didn't understand that you were being abused at the level that you were.

Honestly, the stuff the teacher wrote doesn't sound that bad to me. It just sounds like you had trouble focusing and paying attention. Totally understandable because A) you were a CHILD and B) you were an abused child. I'd say you were doing damn good. I don't think you sound horrible. Honest.

Your mother had NO RIGHT to do the things to you that she did. There is nothing that justifies treating a child that way. Even an unruly child should be dealt with with patience, love, and understanding. Not humiliation.

Children are not born evil. They just aren't. They learn what they see. Your T knows this. She will believe you. We believe you on PC and we're not even trained in this stuff.
