my mom actually tried getting me to a psych when i was a kid (about 8 or so) but she has always been really poor. I only went to a couple appointments before they apparently wanted to run some IQ tests, and those Cost Money
mom asked dad for help paying for this and he apparently told her "no, our kid doesn't need to go to a psych, that's a waste of money" so we stopped
for a long time i only remembered the first part of this story, so once, at lunch, i asked dad about it, and he either didn't remember or pretended not to remember it. he asked if, after the appointments i went to, i was put on any medication. i said no. he pointed to that as proof that there was nothing wrong with me, "and besides, even if there is, you don't want to get rid of it with medication! it's what makes you different from everyone else!"
a month or so later i realized i should ask mom about it, so i called her, and she filled in the missing pieces. this was... august last year, i think.
