Oh the other thing. I am not in treatment for learning disabilities but I have an assessment done in college. Which my dad had to comment about his bout with similar troubles......my mother gave me the silent treatment. I bet she gossiped this to my sisters to support their kids to better than me. How rude!! I am really learning and not be blind sighted anymore about her character!! I try to get help but they valued this as "cheap shots". They (the family) thinks this is a joke!!! What makes it worst is, they are trying to disregard my passion for art with "cheap shots" too. I really believe that put me down in competition with the fact that they are better than me. To understand this, it is like "jealousy". Hard core jealousy and competition!! You can see how since they are business background vs creative arts....I see it in my niece where she is like me and how my sister is abusive too. Yet I turned this illness that they gave me (read Alone for background) by getting better then the diagnosis that my psychiatrist dictated my life!! Ha. My family is silent for awhile. They have enough nerve to think they can tell me what to do like "get a job" etc. I am so mad. There was never I am happy that you are getting better. I try to stay away from them eventhough they are my family. What a family!! They can't be happy for me. I have come along way with my battle with mental illnesses but I get critism and narcissistic attitudes....
