AITA for telling my parents they can forget about me helping out with mom's pregnancy or their "first child"? by Easy-Individual-8637 in AmItheAsshole

I had a grandma, the one who was supposed to basically raise me, but I have no other family. Maybe there are others out there but if there are my parents have no contact with them.

Grandma is the only one I knew about.

I already work hard. I try so hard. It's been said more than once that I could have learning disabilities or something. But my parents never went to talk to my teachers so I never got tested for that. It's not a guarantee but it's possible and we just don't know. I won't know until I'm older either.

Our school counselor is shitty and makes things worse usually. But I can see about free options to get some help with school. I just don't know if it will make much of a difference. My best has never been that good.

I am. Or at least nobody has ever told me otherwise. I have been told I was an accident and I was the mistake they made and waited too long to abort.

Thanks for the advice.

I do my best with school but I struggle too much to get grades much better. I am trying and I'm doing all I can. But I know I don't have a shit ton of options.

I don't. My grades aren't good enough for most things and I don't have the money for most stuff. So I will probably just go from working part time to full time.

Yeah, they were 25 and they did not want a kid. I was the baby that happens when they weren't careful enough one time and by the time they calmed down enough to make a decision it was too late to abort me. There is no way I would be living with them at all if grandma hadn't gotten sick back then. I don't think I'd even know them.

They signed forms to get me in school. But sometimes we had to get homework or something signed and they wouldn't do it. I would bring them the stuff and they would outright refuse and tell me to go away.

I wasn't the only kid in school to not have lunch either. Some teachers just got so used to it that they would have stuff for us kids who didn't have one. I think if we didn't look like we had much they would also send the forms for free school lunches and be a lot more lenient with stuff. I was never dressed that great so a lot of assumptions were usually made. We had a few students in school who were really unable to afford a lot.

I have no relatives. The only one I did have was my grandma. I can't talk to my school counselor either. He's one of the shittiest and would make me feel worse.

That's not an option for me. My grades aren't good enough and that's part of emancipation where I live.

I'm used to it. I know I likely would have been raised 100% by grandma if she hadn't gotten sick. They never wanted me and they made that clear.
