It's not "our fault" cause if it was up to me, I'd have been born into the 2nd richest family, 2nd smartest man in the world, 2nd biggest dick etc. Yet here we are. ADHD and hydracephalus from birth. Definitely not born with a "normal" brain.

However, it IS our responsibility to deal with it before it becomes a problem for others.

I think responsibility is a much better word than fault. Not everyone will be able to deal with their challenges, but what I really meant was, this is your brain and no one else's.

Absolutely. Good on you realizing you made a bad choice of word there. Most people would double down.👍

Definitely think responsibility is the better word.

Have a good day, friend.

The difference between fault and responsibilty is definitely something I plan to teach my kids from an early age.

If someone rear ends me when I'm driving safely and following all the rules of the road, it's not my fault. But it's still my responsibility to get insurance information, arrange for car repair and transportation, reschedule appointments, etc. I don't get to just walk away and hope everything takes care of itself.

It's just one of those unfortunate facts of life. Everyone has to handle things that aren't their fault sometimes.
