mh/abuse history
ran into two more things that support ADHD as an elegant explanation of what happened;
* discussion of how PF2e rules aren't really user friendly (especially presentation) explains why I have problems focusing on the rules despite how I love D&D and similar, but also got into "dyscalcula" being partly the person hate *hates* being on the spot to churn out basic math
* discussion of someone who innately associates cleaning up with being punished thanks to the abusive manner in which it was presented

@Leucrotta ... SAME on the cleaning stuff. we have trauma around that too, less punishment and more "you will do as I say Or Else".
also we can do fancy math like geometry and calculus, but give us basic math and yeah we're gonna need a calculator!

@frostwolf One of the many things I resent that my Dad pulled was, when his job stopped requiring as frequent travel, he decided to tutor me after school - not in reading sheet music, which would interest me and which he's good at, but math, which didn't interest me, and which I was *not* good at. Especially considering that he used to get frustrated enough by failing to teach me (which tended to be a vicious cycle) that he'd yell at me, occasionally tell me I was stupid, demand I repeat things he'd just said back verbatim, etc etc. He liked telling me I was terrible at math, he sure didn't do anything that would've made me better at it. Maybe he's forgotten all of this by now, but I haven't.

@Leucrotta Ugh. UGH.
