Hi,
im seeking advice. After my assessment today. I took my parent as a witness. They gave conflicting and irrelevant information towards questions and I was very confused with their answers. Basically was saying I was fine until I was a teenager. No developmental issues. Just said I was fine as a toddler (I don’t know this) but almost like.....they were in denial to the issues that I have had. Brushing them under the carpet and monosyllabic yes answers.
I’m fine with a diagnosis of anxiety or whatever but I had to stop a few times and explain how I felt as they were answering questions that only I could have known to the assessment team.
I left thinking that I don’t really think my parent knows who I actually am and what I have struggled with.
it was really quite bizarre as I have a great memory and my mother was disagreeing with some pieces of information which I know are factual. Also leaving out important information that I believed was relevant.
has anyone had an experience of this? The dynamic of this has really confused me badly. Wow
