I Beat Myself Up Over Mistakes and Imperfections
i just dont understand math at all i mean like i understand none of it. my brain just dont work like that. im dyslexic but it affects reading only a little bit like im slow but it mostly affects math--i just cant do it right. But my new family dont understand that i just cant do it. My Dad tries real hard to explain stuff but it just confuses me more. I got afterschool tutors and they are very nice n take their time with me but I dont get it an it makes him angry. He think im being stupid n lazy like not trying hard enuff.
i got in a huge argument with him after i asked him for help with 60 problems i had to do for homework. i couldnt understand the example they had in the book. instead of explaining the problems I had and how to solve them he gives me examples of other problems and say if i can solve them i can solve the first ones. Problem is the 60 new problems he gives me are in the next chapter and i totally dont understand them at all. I keep asking him please, please, please can you explain my homework problems not those others we havent got to those yet. but he keeps going
we argued, n i told him i hate him, hate math, and im not doing any of it anymore...then I left...to my room over the garage separate from the house so i can cry n nobody there to make fun of me being a total failure. I know im smart i just cant prove it..ugh.
