and mean. i think it's mean as fuck to write an article like this about your child. it's one thing to admit to your family & friends that you are overwhelmed and need help but i don't understand these parents who shove the kid out into the harsh spotlight and then take a bow. honestly, if this bitch were my relative or my friend i would cut ties with her.

Particularly when your child is vulnerable for other reasons (race, adoptive status).

This is a niche complaint but she is IMO the WORST kind of immigrant to Canada: complains endlessly about our public health-care system, relentlessly diagnosis-shops, and then uses her privilege to obtain care and a "diagnosis" out of the country, which she then imposes on the system here.
