The comments are probably filled with this, but I was forced to raw dog my childhood even when I told adults in my life I had some kind of neurological disorder. I was finally diagnosed when I turned 18 and 10 years later I was finally able to afford my medication.
Edit: forgot my point while I was writing it. I didn't get good grades. Haven't graduated highschool but I'm working on getting my highschool degree, so I don't have to lie to my kid when they're old enough to talk.
