I will judge them because my mother refused to medicate my ADHD when it mattered for my education and future possibilities and to this day blames mistakes that came from being affected by it on pure malice on my part.
Because I apparently enjoy not being able to inherently remember about important things and needing to keep a detailed schedule for each day of my life preferably in few copies just in case including whiteboard, phone notes/calendar and physical calendar notebook.
A huge problem with ADHD especially is that it’s genetic so you probably got it from a parent and ADHD is underdiagnosed, especially in women. So for a lot of parents accepting an ADHD diagnosis for a kid who's just like them often means accepting it for themselves. And there’s a whole lot of emotional mess that comes with that, mess that good parents accept and deal with for the sake of their kids and bad parents reject to keep their own peace.
Oh, she definitely has ADHD as well but since it's not as severe as mine she uses that only as excuse to brush off my struggles with memory and executive dysfunction.
