Sometimes I feel guilty about what my sister went through even though it wasn’t my fault. #ADHD
I have ADHD and nonverbal learning disability. Because of these, I have a lot of social and learning issues, as well as communication difficulties.
I required extra attention growing up. So my sister got less attention than me. She was an excellent student, popular, athletic, musically gifted. So I think our parents didn’t think she needed as much attention.
My parents are good people. They love us. And I truly think they did the best they could with the knowledge they had at the time.
But my sister kinda got the short end of the stick. She didn’t get enough attention.
I know it’s not my fault. But I still feel bad. If I had been more normal, there would have been more attention to go around.
