i have just come to the realization that i am beyond fortunate to have the parents that i do. specifically, my mother.

we have not always seen eye to eye- as a matter of fact, we’ve disagreed and misunderstood each other on most things, especially when it comes to my adhd. but ever since i started this blog and started talking to her about the things i post on here, she’s taken so much interest in it that i can tell it’s grown close to her heart… and this post is to say that i’m really proud of her.

she’s started helping me open up whenever i talk with her about my mental health, she’s started validating the experiences that i had growing up that she used to never quite understand, and most of all, she’s starting using adhd terms and symptom names when talking to me about my current struggles as a way to understand what i’m going through. i’m so so proud of her and so honored to know that she’s growing because of me & doing so in order to help me- she really is the best mom in the world, and sometimes i take her for granted. but i’m so grateful to have a mom who wants to genuinely understand her daughter to this high of a degree; who wants to help me in any way she can, who has taken it upon her to educate herself and my dad and everyone close to us so that i’m not as misunderstood and lost as i was in my childhood. i’m proud because thanks to my mom’s efforts to understand me, adhd no longer estranges me from my family- now it’s something that connects us.
