That whole murderer documentary comment is just so weird. The whole tone of it is weird. I get the impression she is trying to be funny (not showing where a worried catastrophising mother’s mind goes) but it is just so......odd.
It’s another example of how she never instinctively cheers J’s achievements. It’s a new skill. Lining them up. And I’m sorry, that comment in her apology about trying to show normal mum worries has rubbed me up the wrong way. We are still waiting on formal diagnosis from paeds and neurology and I quite often read into little things my daughter does and think oh, is that a trait of x condition, never does my mind go to flipping murderers!!! Then I have a chat with my mum or a friend who goes oh yeah so and so did that for a while and puts my mind at rest, but even so, when it’s a new skill we celebrate. It’s weird to make that inference about a child, a child with a new skill, a child who is achieving so much despite so many obstacles.
I genuinely think K doesn’t know how to have real conversations or have a genuine understanding of different relationships and roles. I think she has become good at mimicking and good at manipulating.
