It is so hard

[tinkerbellandeeyor]

Okay - I'm gonna say it - I cannot ever recall the OP being this articulate! Punctuation, proper grammar, correct spelling and the word "moot"! Something is going on here! Which is the real OP? And if this is indeed the OP - all of the advise given here has not been hurtful at all. People here are worried about you and your students and staff and are trying to help. You just didn't like the responses you got!

I am the real op I was just being very careful with the above.

I did have the exact same thought...

Again it is me being super careful.

How can you go from posts that one can't make heads or tails out of to using the word "moot" and punctuation. If you could do that in one post you could do that in all the posts. I am thinking people here have been buying into a big act.

I've thought this for a while . . .

I have to say I find this all very creepy. Sorry but..

As someone with a sibling who is mentally handicapped, I can vouch for the fact that some days a person can be higher functioning than others. Some days my sibling functions at an 8 year old level, other days it's down to a 4 year old. I suspect that is the case with the OP's posts. If you've followed some of her posts in the past, you can see periods of clarity and periods of confusion. I really don't think the OP is trying to con anyone.

Creepy? In what way?

I don't fault you for believing her - or anyone else here that does. However, I'm still skeptical. I hope I'm proved wrong - I really do.

Some posters know her real name from her history here. She's not faking her challenges.

Wondering if someone is who they say. I guess with the internet you never really know though. Hope whatever the case may be the OP gets some help.

Oh yes, that does happen from time to time. There have been a few in here who turned out to be lying about their whole lives. Sometimes they're wanting money, etc, other times...I guess they just want attention. You just never know.

I was relieved to wake up and find OP has replied! I have been genuinely worried about her situation.

But, I find it totally bizarre that the response is the most coherent thing I have ever seen written by this OP.

The vocabulary, even the use of quotation marks??!!

I'm out.

OP I'm so sorry that you think this thread has been more harmful than helpful. But I do think that you have gotten some very honest and caring advice, it just might not be what you wanted to hear. Seeing you say you have a "break" coming up makes me think that you might not be taking this advice as seriously as you should. You need to think about removing yourself from your position now. Not in 3 days or however long until winter break. This is not just about you when you deal with the public, and from what I remember, your boss may have an "idea" of what's going on, but not fully know for sure? It might not be what you want to do, but you need to be fully honest with them, and your therapist.

She can have the challenges she does and still be posting things that aren't true or just for attention.

Yes-true. Sorry-I just meant to speak to her challenges. I think I'll stay away from the other stuff.

See - this reply right here (to me) seems soooooooo totally out of character for the
