I am using my parents and my experience as a discussion tool, perhaps I should have just used an anonymous person. I feel that I have insight and understanding of an interesting topic and used personal experience as my basis of understanding, just as many on GC do in countless discussions.
I'm not going to flounce away, but the personal attacks are definitely unsettling, I think I'll move along quietly.

You set the tone. You really wanted this to be about you and yours despite how I kept ignoring your personal story and speaking to the general topic, so...here we are.
I don't come here to be concerned with the intricacies of every username's personal life. If we're having a discussion about something that personally impacts you, YOU have to determine whether you can discuss the topic without turning it to a discussion of you and yours. Be able to draw from personal experiences without being stuck in personal experiences. No one said that YOUR parents didn't provide the proper coping mechanisms or do all that they could do because we weren't discussing you and your parents. Ch2tf shouldn't have to calm you by telling you that your parents did what they could do by taking you out of school--but I think you may still be holding on to that pain decades later.
*putting my heart back in* I wish you well.
