[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why didn’t your sister get the medical and/or mental health help that she needed? Sounds like your parents neglected her even though they had means, and made you the Golden Child while she went untreated. Failed parents don’t always get feted for Mother’s Day; sometimes, they get the fruits of their neglect.[/quote]

NP. Projecting much? Did you have a dynamic where you didn't get what you feel you needed? Because nowhere in the first post did the OP say that the sibling never had "medical and/or mental health help" so you have no idea what treatment the sibling has or has not had. Nor do you know if the mother was or is a "failed parent." Big assumptions on your part about a situation that's not yours.

Also: We don't know the ages involved here. On DCUM there seems to be some assumption that people who are now adults were kids and teens when there was medical recognition of things like ADHD etc. etc. Well, if you're an adult now, depending on where and when you grew up -- news flash, not everyone came along after ADHD, anxiety etc. were official diagnoses. Some people grew up like they grew up, period, and weren't diagnosed and didn't have opportunities for treatment because those conditions weren't on anyone's radar AS conditions. But good old DCUM loves to go nuclear on parents who were parenting in times when no one had any concept of the many conditions we now know can make kids behave like the OP's sibling did as a kid.
