I am shockingly open to the idea that some people might be a bit obnoxious when they start exploring (or receive) a new diagnosis such as ADHD, and start inserting the topic into the conversation ALL THE TIME and so on. It's huge, and I can appreciate that other people might get a little tired of it before you're done talking about it.
Like, I am genuinely making an effort to be sympathetic to LW right now, because I've known people in that stage, I've been the person in that stage, and it's... I mean, it's a stage that lots of people pass through, especially at that age. It's probably beneficial to the person in it, helping them integrate this new information into their self-identity or something, but, yes, I can see how it can annoy other people.
Nevertheless, LW, despite all her efforts to make her daughter out to be the bad guy, still manages to utterly repulse me. I'd say there's at least a 50% chance that her parenting was, in fact, what other people would consider "borderline abusive". She's actually as bad as this woman, and I never thought I'd say that.
