[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 689659, member: 11791"] "If he'd tried"... If I had a dollar for every time I heard that - about myself, or about my kids - I would be rich. That's what it LOOKS like... as though they are not trying. In reality? You don't know what all was holding him back. I found out stuff - simple SIMPLE stuff that should have been caught at grade 3, and we didn't know until high school - that explained a LOT of why school wasn't easy and why he wasn't just "lazy". Part of him had/has the capability of doing academics. But when you also have to survive in life... there may not be enough mental and emotional energy to excel. High school changes [I]literally everything[/I]. People you thought were your friends - vanish, they become preppies or jocks. And you get left behind, and pretty much there is only three groups in school. It can happen to ANY kid, and more often to kids with subtle challenges. But biodad's genes didn't disappear. He's still genetically half biodad. He will have some of those traits, like it or not. [/QUOTE]
