My memory's still not good. My mother's treating me like I'm insane.
This is giving me "flashbacks". I remember one specific moment in the early '80s when I was sitting talking to my mother, and thought, "My entire life hinges on whether she takes me seriously." She didn't. (Regarding my undiagnosed nervous system condition.) It's absolutely unbelievable and intolerable how little the average person is willing to accept. We live in a world full of diverse experiences, yet no person is acceptable unless she/he speaks, think, acts, and experiences life in exactly the way the majority does. This has never been more true than it it right now.
