Okay, reading your story makes it read differently now.

I don't know. I still would do hella of psychosocial interventions before putting developing brains (and argh at "something wrong with your brain" line) onto mind altering substances. It seems to many parents idea of councelling is associated with "fault". I dunno... if I ever have kids I am gonna read and google like mad to learn from others experience. It's not about "fault"... it's just sometimes people don't know how to approach some things. Parenting ain't instinctive, I think.

I was weird child too, btw. I kinda wish I was taught how to deal with emotions rather then "big girls don't cry", "smile" and "be nice". Figuring it out on my own is kinda... hard. And painful.
