It's really frustrating to see that my daughter didn't learn much in high school. I feel like she's had to start over, and I'm hesitant to let her continue in the same program. It seems like she learned more in elementary and middle school than in high school.

Don’t get involved with or procreate with people with Cluster B personality disorders. Even if they aren’t diagnosed, if they exhibit high toxic or narcissistic traits, that’s a good enough reason to leave despite any history uou may have. PD’s are highly hereditary. ADHDers often date people with BPD.

Why do disabled people have to exist? They’re so difficult and time consuming. And I should know because I have a sister with a disability and it can be a real nightmare sometimes.
