This post rubbed me the wrong way. Yes, we all bitch about family but we don't all call them dumb stupid heffa's.(?) because that's childish. And I can't speak for others but I like to think I have more compassion for people who make mistakes because they cannot control their impulses due I mental illness. But maybe that's because I'm a social worker. Although OP, I would think if you work in the field of mental illness you might feel the same.
And since we're discussing how smart we all are... I was in the gifted and talented program in elementary school, but by high school I was so lazy that I did no work at all and had to take remedial math when I got to college even though I scored well above average on standardized tests. I chose my major based on least amount of math credits. But tutored English. None of that means anything in life though.
Ehhhhhhh, can someone point me to the door??? Oh, and not to get all PC but the "R" word is my hill to die on even if it was used sarcastically.
:::gets red pen and post it out:::
I was not sarcastic that's the word on the paperwork
It's hard to see the word and not cringe, but I don't doubt that is what it says on your paperwork. They don't use that terminology anymore in the DD world, though.
Yeah I hate the word too but I understood what she was saying and I figured it was the technical term used at the time for her. I work in healthcare and still see MR as a diagnosis sometimes. We are just now changing over our system from MR to ID.
I can't put the way Tlex used the word in the same category as assholes that use it in ignorance or with malice or in sarcasm, etc....I don't feel like it's the same at all.

They are getting away from it but I still see a lot of current medical records that have the "MR" diagnosis rather than DD. I am not allowed to use it though so I have to be careful in my assessments to use an alternative diagnosis.
@TyrannosaurusLex that was in my more wilder years. I had that baby for a weekend. Wore it in a baby Bjorn and went to parties, smoked, lived my normal 17 year old life...with robot baby
I am not that scandalized by the original rent really. The ongoing explanations make it worse but everyone shits on close relationships from time to time.
My brother has mental illness but it doesn't stop me from essentially hating the fuck out of him.
Yup. I have all the right to hate dealing with family members who have an addiction or issues. I have all the right to think they fucking suck. They don't get a pass on being a horrible snatch and you best believe I sometimes need to vent and a bitch about them.
Okay but imagine being 15 and having all the oldest boys in school call you Heifer instead of your name because it sounds like heifer? Ugh. It was the worst. Plus gym class, so I was in stupid shorts and t-shorts.
I was tall as hell way before everyone else. I was 5'6" in 6th grade. And skinny as shit and awkward.
Anyway we all had to take ballroom dancing. My mom would only buy me one dress because I was growing so fast. It was green. All the boys were shorter than me so ballroom dancing was awkward. They called me the jolly green giant.
I have never purchased a single jolly green giant product in my adult life.
I was 5'6 and taller than all the boys in 5th grade and the boys on our soccer team called me Godzilla because our jerseys were green

I took dance... jazz dance, which sometimes included swing dancing.
We didn't really have any guys in the class (maybe one or two max?) so girls had to pair together... I was always the guy. Always. Never dainty enough to be the girl. My big hips and ass that stuck out were prominent and often pointed out all through childhood.

Well, duh.
Every time I here engineering (thank god for autocorrect) my brain hurts.

This is true. Just look at Dandy from AHS.
