I do not think I ever threw a tantrum that that destroyed property (I probably tried as a toddler, but I did not have the strength).

This is why therapy is penny foolish and pound wise. Your parents should have been paying for a therapist to teach you not to throw tantrums, not simply paying to fix the house every time you smashed it up.

Sure, yeah, if said parents weren't among the oppressed working-class, seeking validation in every waking moment and expecting rug-pull ambushes & "accredited" charlatans around every corner.

I mean, sheeyit. Your username alone references a fully-ratfucked concept in a candied-up exceptionalism shell that, essentially, gave the US "education" system free license to segregate & target the variably disabled youth of that era.

The salient matter is not "if only (your) parents did (this), instead". It's the same crab bucket, different crabs. Lather, rinse, repeat.

At least I wasn't born in their era. The "exceptional" kids got a free visit to 'Nam. 😶
