    “My father called me ‘stupid’ a lot. Even when I’d bring home good grades, he’d say things like: ‘You’re smart, but you don’t know anything.’ I just wasn’t a big reader like him. He always had a book in his hand. Math was my thing. During lunch I’d go to the junior high.. "pic.twitter.com/gPGMCjLEyB

        Never understand why people say mean things, especially to their children! They remember it for life

        Very true. Words have power, that’s why one must guard what one says- especially to our children!

        My father did the same thing. I always wondered if that was meant to be some sort of challenge. My gift was music, which is a form of mathematics. I got a scholarship for it and he became supportive. Did your dad read your publication?

        This is heartbreaking, validation from our parents is everything

        But it matters a great deal, well at least to me. I've been fortunate in that my parents have always validated me, and it gave me a lot of confidence.
