Me mum is incredibly low IQ. Certain things that come easily to me such as simple reading comprehension can prove to be an insurmountable hurdle for her. She's impressed that I can understand questions on quizzes/exams or the Jeopardy gameshow.

I feel bad that she's had to work so hard and take abuse from so many people to achieve so little in her life. I feel guilty that just talking to her irritates me so much just because she has amassed so little practical knowledge (let alone scholarly knowledge) and needs help and input with so many basic things.

She's very loyal and caring, but there's a mental gulf that will always separate us.

I wish my mom was dumb and sweet. My mom is a bitter bitch to everyone. She told me I was going to drop out of high school and be a failure the rest of my life because I turned in a homework assignment for gym class a day late when I was twelve.
I'm the youngest and finally moving permanently out soon, and I'm happy for myself but terrified for my poor dad because she berates him and mocks him for all his interests, and now he won't have anybody else there.

I share this feel in many ways.

Father is an academic with no street smarts, his lack of financial sense destroyed the family.
