0:00.0	Welcome to Ghost of a Podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Lignato. I'm an astrologer, psychic medium,
0:06.6	and animal communicator, and I'm going to give you your weekly horoscope and no bullshit,
0:11.2	mystical advice for living your very best life. Valentine, welcome to the podcast. What would you like a reading about?
0:22.2	Thank you for having me, Jessica. I really appreciate you taking my question up. What I'm going to do is I'm going to read it out because it is quite lengthy.
0:33.4	Okay. So I grew up in an environment where mental health and special needs were neither discussed nor recognized. On my father's side, who is Jamaican, I was often labeled as stubborn, feisty, and rude instead of being met with compassion and understanding. As a result, I was put into anger management classes, counseling sessions, kicked out of the house,
0:56.3	and kept at arm's length whenever I tried to express myself and my emotions as a child and teenager.
1:01.9	Recently, my 9-year-old son was diagnosed with autism, giftedness, and ADHD,
1:07.5	and at the same time, I'm noticing that my two-year-old daughter is exhibiting similar
1:12.6	mannerisms as both mine and my son.
1:15.3	When parenting my children, it brings back painful flashbacks of my own childhood and the
1:21.0	disconnect with my parents.
1:22.9	That being said, I struggle with understanding why my neurodivergence wasn't recognized, especially when my
1:29.0	siblings were identified of having a learning disability. I didn't feel being and understood by my
1:35.3	mother who didn't advocate for me as she did my siblings. These experiences have left me with a deep
1:41.3	wound that I don't know how to reconcile. My question two would be,
1:46.1	how can I address this wound, accept myself for who I am, and cultivate self-love so that I can
1:52.1	be my vulnerable and authentic self with others, but most importantly, parents without being
1:57.3	triggered all the time. That is a great question and uncharacteristically long for a question I would pick,
2:03.9	so good on you, yeah.
2:05.7	I've got some contextualizing questions because there's a lot of data in there.
2:09.5	The first question is, are you the eldest sibling?
2:12.4	I am.
