  • Definitely strains of my stepdaughter and her son.

    I don’t know if/where he is on the spectrum, though there’s definitely a dash of undiagnosed bipolar with a heavy dose of self medication now. But as a kid, his rage issues were attributed to a WIDE variety of causes:

    • autism
    • oppositional defiance disorder
    • ADHD
    • gluten allergy
    • some sort her doctor ordered during her c-section
    • etc

    Ignoring that most of it stemmed from abandonment issues with her. She only paid attention when he had a meltdown, so he very quickly figured out that it was the surefire way to get something from her.

    All so she could feel less guilty about being a miserable parent. Yay.


  • That’s my mother in a nutshell.

    TBI when I was 7, surgery was scheduled to reduce swelling on my brain, and she instead opted to feed me smoothies of nothing but raw spinach and water. Also took me to some kind of new age healer.

    So yeah, thanks mom.
