    Irrelevant comment, sorry

    Quite lame, but online classes in middle school. At the time I didn’t have neither a computer nor a usable internet connection (just stealing neigbor’s WiFi). So I didn’t have to attend those.
    Instead, the school set up a lockdown exception for the few of us that didn’t have internet. So there were 3 of us from whole school. The only time school actually worked and wasn’t boring because there was 1 teacher for just 3 kids instead of 20-30. Just calm, quiet classes with nearly full engagement.
    Another thing I liked was the CRT TV that was in the class. I have an NES game console from AliExpress I got for €4. During breaks I could finally get to enjoy that on CRT. It looks so much better on CRT rather than LCD.

    Anyway, sadly this had to be shutdown shortly after because someone wrong found about it. Such classes weren’t officially allowed, those teachers just wanted to help us.

    But I am not sure I understood your question. There’s a good chance I didn’t.

    Whole family is stuck in a made up reality where my birth father isn’t an abusive sociopath and excuse his actions by circling the wagons. I was able to see the truth and get out, but my siblings are all stuck in the cycle of abuse and likely won’t ever leave.

    I had a pretty solid career , in the Navy, and now I am an electrical engineer, with a pretty awesome family, and we own our own home.

    I have two siblings.

    My older brother lives in a trailer, can’t keep a real job and only ever calls to ask for money.

    My older sister has had six kids with four different men. I don’t take her calls because she just up and abandoned four of her kids. (Then had her sixth kid with the fourth father).

    I have no idea how I avoided that white trash destiny and I am racked with “survivors guilt”.

      Your siblings could have ADHD. Inability to keep jobs, troubles with money, early/often pregnancy, and promiscuity are all symptoms.

        Please educate yourself more and stop believing that a condition like that makes you a bad person capable of abandoning your children and alienating your family

        As the other person said, don’t do this because you’re wrong to say it but…

        What kind of arrogant asshole diagnoses people with ADHD with absolutely zero context? You, I guess. What’s the point, their lives are fucked up by their own hand whether they have ADHD or not. ADHD doesn’t make someone have a bunch of kids (despite your claim, that’s not how it works). ADHD doesn’t make people have miserable “white trash” (per the commenter) lives. It only makes it harder to thrive.
