I just read this that the teacher thought you were kind of unfocused, didn't always pay attention - maybe with all what was going on at home, that could suggest that you were dissociative or something. The teacher didn't know the extent of what was going on at home, so she was only agreeing with what your mother informed her of. Maybe it appeared that it 'worked'. Nowhere does it say you were a 'horrible' child, though, or any of the negatives you're reading into it. I am sure your T won't change her view of you based on any of this. It does not reveal a 'bad, unhelpable, untruthful, selfish, spoiled, demanding, manipulative' character. I don't think you need to stress about it. Your T is on your side, Granite.
