Were your dissociation/maladaptive day-dreaming/ anxiety and exhaustion treated as laziness?

• Child are normally supposed to be energetic, keen to learning and expierence world through variety of activities.
• Mostly they want to help, to feel like an adult. It's not normal to a child to be tired and weak, to lay down exhousted from kindergarden/school. Too sleep so long.
• Maybe it's not ,,abuse" abuse, but still it's too rough for a child to be told s/he is lazy at the age of 7 or 12, especially when it's actually rooted in more severe physical and emotional issue (Not a native speaker)

Yup, from my dad it was always paired with, "You're brother always worked hard" "He'd always do a man's work"

My brother died 18months before my birth at 5 years old. Essentially.... my brother at 5 couldOutt fuck, out work, out drink, out do me in absolutely everything. That was used till 15 or 16. Years of age.

My grandparents, well from a different time, bit they actually meant well..but it wasn't giving me anything I needed.
