My mother was diagnosed with cancer when I was at the age of ten. My brother was five and my sister was 15. My mother has had a previous relationship with another man which resulted in my older half blood sister this guy is a piece of work and still irritates me to this day I touch on that some other time. My father worked all the time which supported are house so we were not close. My mother pretty much took both rolls when it came to parenting and did as best as she could.
I am the middle child of three kids I was very shy and pretty much like a marshmallow I was startled very easily didn't really like to be touched and did not like loud noises. It was bad I have panic attacks at an very young age and break down crying. My mom took my to the doctor and they diagnosed me with anxiety, depression and ADD. Also I had night terrors that were so bad I would wake up screaming and sometimes wet the bed the doctors said I would grow out of it I did at the age of 13. than I was put me on ADD meds half way through 2nd grade in the 2nd grade because I was failing school. I hated 2nd grade It was mainly because of my teacher we will call Mrs.J So before My ADD meds I would space out in class and block everything out. Mrs.J would stop the whole class and space cadet a and the whole class would laugh of course This made my anxiety much worse and some point I stopped talking all together hoping she would leave me alone and wouldn't even answer anything she asked me. This did not work at all It just gave her a new nickname to call me "Echo" I didn't get it a first but caught on quick since I didn't answer back to her questions There was and Echo in the classroom I hatted this It always make the other kids laugh and didn't make many friends because of this and was bullied . She eventually moved my desk right next to hers so I could space of or even escape in to my brain she would constantly be hitting my desk if I even If I looked away from it for a second. Being shy and soft spoken I never told my mom I wish I did. My mom was awesome she was the person I was most controllable with she always made fell safe. So when she started hosting the class parties it was the best she made games and treats It was the best and when wee had these parties I was much more relaxed and would smile and talk to other classmates where is class I would look sad and tired. My mom was my boss because after that my classmates attitude changed When ever Mrs.J would call me Echo no one would laugh it was strange I still hatted that she called me that but I felt better that people were no longer laughing and most of the bullying stopped to. Thank you Mom I love you and miss you
