Yes, I know you all are sick of these, but I'll get this Pagani Zonda out of the way as repayment.

My mother always tries to find a way to aggravate me. First it's about cars, now it's about jobs as well.

She constantly tries to prove me wrong, all over an opinion she disagrees on, pesters me to start volunteering instead of paid work, is not consistent on her word, begs me to work in a certain part of town as an excuse to move there, yet she complains I have no income, and threatens to kick me out because of no job. Her suggestions are "always better" than what I am doing already, and she gets worried and tries to intervene when I don't follow her advice, including her suggestion to take a course on how to get a job for people with disabilities, I have done a few similar courses since high-school, and they all seem to boil down on to making resumes and how to do interviews. my father chimed in, calling me a "pussy" when I declined signing up it, for the 5th time in a week.

I know she wants the best for me, but sometimes the "best" in her mind is not really the best option for me.

so wait, what is your disability?

Also your dad can suck a bag of dicks for calling you a pussy for anything. There are more contructive ways to get your point across. I would have punched him.

I am diagnosed with ADD, which is apparently a disability.

I would never punch my dad unless he physically tries to hurt me.

ha ADD sucks, I have had it and been down that road. I am still really not focused on anything, but I make it work for me. I wouldn't let myself be labeled as disabled because of it though. I quit my meds in college and haven't looked back.

Your last sentence, thats the most important here, bud. Have you considered working part-time and volunteering with something you're passionate about on the side? Maybe working with middleschoolers that have ADD too.

I have done interviews recently, and I was strong candidate as an entry-level oil changer, which is a stepping stone towards my passion. I do feel ready for the full-on mechanical work, but I might have to start small.
