ADHD. The thing is, he was being treated. He eventually refused to see his specialist, and then refused to take the medication. While I know that he used to hate it, nobody at school needed to know about it (in highschool, he was allowed to medicate himself, so while his teachers had to know, his classmates didn't.), so he could easily have taken them in private. When he chose to stop taking them and saw that he was not learing as well and disrupting others, he should have made the decision to continue taking them. All of his friends who knew about it were very supportive and didn't treat him differently. He was pretty popular at school, and my parents were supportive. He eventually said that if my mum continued giving him the medication, he'd sell them to other kids at school. It's really, really hard to pity someone who does things like this, especially considering the selfish and horrible things he has done to my family and others. I'm equally angry at my parents - and a LOT more disappointed - for giving up on him. Now that he's committed a crime, where's he going to go? It's their fault as much as his, for failing to present consequences to his actions. Words can't express how tired and angry I am.
It is. I don't entirely mean it. By like them, I meant like their choices. Why would you choose to have a job that cannot support you? Even in woolworths you can progress and succeed, so maybe I should change the statement. I don't actually hate people that much.
