I think that was not at all a polite thing to say about you.
I remember I once had a discussion with an adult about their childhood relationship with school and their parents.
The mother always excused his poor grades on the basis that he had learning disabilities.
The father would yell at him for not studying enough.
He told me that he wasn't at all hurt by his father's yelling, but he was immensely hurt by his mother's excusing.
That discussion was brought to my mind when I was reading Dr. Bob's statements.
