I was telling her the other day that Im keeping an eye on my son to see if I need to have him evaluated for ADD, and she gave the empty nod, nothing to say at all and went back to her tv show. And it does seem Im getting less and less out of her since my diagnosis. Like you're crazy so anything u have to say is probably useless. At least thats how she makes me feel if its not true. I cant say that she has only been that way with me though.
It really can hurt when family acts like that. I recently said to my mom have you notice I never offer suggestions or my opinion to anyone? She said she has noticed it and asked why. I said no one listens to me and I'm not letting them reject me no more. I tried this week to say something to my mom and I don't think she really heard me. She was busy looking at something else.
