I recently read some old psychological evaluation documents of

You're an idiot. It was totally fine just to tell you that you were weird. You don't tell a small child that they'll maybe turn psychotic.

You have nothing to feel betrayed about.

it's very natural to feel betrayed; a lot of parents take this route of trying to "cover up" anything that could even remotely hurt feelings

she isn't exactly lying though, i'd assume you aren't psychotic so you are kind of an "outlier" in brain development

try not to take it badly, she was only saying what she thought was best for you

But what about when I was older and when I asked about it? How am I not allowed to be privy to that information? It took me looking on my own to even find out.

I can understand that. I don't want to blame her, but I can't help but feel angry at not knowing and not having the information I needed to come to a diagnosis sooner. It's not like they pursued it any further than that.

She's your mother, anon. She would never want you to feel like an outcast. Saying you're "weird" is much less taxing on a growing kid's mind than telling them they're potentially psychotic.

I know you feel like she did you wrong by not telling you but she was trying to protect you. That's what mothers do, even when it doesn't feel like it.

Can you imagine being a parent, having your child walk up to you asking if there's something wrong with them, and telling "yes, something is wrong with you"? I can't.

Are you an adult? Genuinely curious. Because adults are allowed to do whatever they want so, if you're an adult, congrats, you're now allowed to be privy to information that you weren't previously. If you're not an adult, sorry, but you're under your parent's thumb. If you don't like that, move out.
