I'm trying not to let her this time. She reminded me of my childhood dream of becoming an oceanographer. The problem was I had undiagnosed learning disabilities that affected my ability to get good grades in science. When I got my first D in science in 7th grade my parents did nothing to help me. It wasn't until after I got my AA degree in child development that I had the opportunity to find out . The emotional pain I feel is a level 10 when I recognize that my parents failed me, abandoned and neglected me. They either blame me for my PTSD or accuse me of fabricating it. I was a gifted and talented student, identified as a mental gifted minor in kindergarten , skipped the first grade. When I try to talk to my parents about my learning disability they accuse me of dwelling in the past yet they shame me for not having a high powered career. When an intimate friend tried to tell my father about my PTSD my mother brutally verbally attacked me. To complicate things my father forced me into a probate case because he was such a bad son his share of his inheritance went to his sisters. My mother thinks she can make it up to me by my making me fight for what once was my father's . My waking life is a nightmare . My mother can't deal with my teenage daughter either and my father ignores her . My parents complete dismiss parenthood despite the fact I devoted my education and career to child development . The anger I feel has crystallized .
