That ended with me finally explaining to him how the way he and my mother treated me as a child, with undiagnosed (and really not even conceptually understood at the time) ADHD caused me lasting trauma that persists to this day. I’m a 45 year old man, and I cried.

    I’m 21 and my parents don’t even want to acknowledge it. It’s taboo in my society and it sucks I can’t move out cause I have yet to complete my degree and it feels impossible in this situation. It feels like a cycle that I can’t get out of.

    Hope you feel better.
