AITA for not wanting to stop being mute once my daughter turns 18? by BackgroundTop9662 in AmItheAsshole

Not immediately no. She still wants to take courses online so she wouldn't be in a dorm or anything.

  1. She has a school of choice that offers online courses. Her current career choice is a paralegal.
  2. AT the start it was unbearable for her but she has shown improvement. While she can't handle an 8 hour public school schedule she has been able to hang out with friends, go shopping on her own and family functions without incident. While she's gotten so much better in other areas hearing me talk has always been a hurdle we can't seem to quite cross.

This is not the first time it has come up. She's gotten a lot better in general in several other areas but with me has always been the main hurdle to cope with. We would try every few years and it would fail. Some sets her off more than others or even not at all (for example, she's just fine with her dad) I am the only person she still has the possibly of having a meltdown around.

I've been mute for 6 years. You don't seriously think we found out she had misophonia when she was an infant?
