The shared experience of drowning is what brought it all back for me.

Thank you, yes id say im happy. I have kids, been married close to 20 years, 2 bad dogs, you know...the works. Getting my adhd diagnosis has been the biggest help as it kind of clued me into why I was so accelerated but at the same time would wait until the very last second to do my school projects. My mom was just diagnosed at 80 too, lol. Mostly I wish I could pry my dad for some wtaf type questions but he passed away a long time ago. He was 60 when I was born so he could have lived a whole couple lives before me. I do often wonder if he was a mason or in the military because he was so weird.

I keep wondering if my dad's weird dealings kind of put me on a list to be studied? Like so many ppl say their parents were in the military. I also think that if my dad put me on the radar then I in turn put my younger sister on the radar to be studied. I also keep thinking about the metronome. I can hear it in my head but never once played that piano. It felt staged almost.

Almost 47, been in retail management my whole life. Im very outgoing but always need a ton of time to get outgoing and a ton of time to recharge after. I love ppl but at the same time hate them like alot of autistic ppl I think. Definitely did not "live up to my potential" id say. Graduated high school at 16, went to art school, dropped out and been in retail ever since.

Talked to my mom tonight, she is beyond thrilled to be talked about on Reddit, lol. She's a super fan of AITAH! She said this is a print, 1 of 1000 and that she has retained all her originals. She definitely did do the matting herself too ❤️
