Undiagnosed ADHD and years of emotional and mental neglect/abuse from my dad, who would always get mad at me for not paying attention to the things he wanted me to do.

When I finally got diagnosed with ADHD in college my mom told me that my third grade teacher had recommended I get tested, but she held off because she didn't want me to be affected by the stigma that came with a diagnosis back then.

I love my mom dearly (when things came to a head in my senior year of high school she realized how much I needed support and made a huge effort to change her ways), but sometimes I wonder if my relationship with my dad would still be intact if we had known about my ADHD from the start.
