Hi everyone,
I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was 17 just in the second year of a levels. I didn’t receive much help in uni as I didn’t really acknowledged my condition.
My ex husband used to laugh at me and call me stupid because of my bad grades. I felt so upset I cryed to my phchiatrist about it. I feel distressed when I think of my really low grades. I didn’t get support at school I mean the signs were there I spoke quite late, started reading later than everyone else and my extended family would make songs about me saying I’m stupid. I’ve been constantly compared to my cousin who studied medicine and his mum even said that he should of been in the year above in school not me because I’m stupid. I get so annoyed with my mum when she compliments and commends my cousin. I feel really uspset and hate my aunty and my extended family. They used to make songs about my “stupidness” I was only 6 or 7 at the time. And they taunted me when I was older. And guess what their kids are high achievers why is life unfair?
Now I’m trying to teach myself stuff but I feel like I don’t know anything I feel distressed and hurt and my mum never listens to how her siblings were so rude to me. Because I got diagnosed sooo late my gcses are so bad and now I feel distressed
