I had a similar problem, but not with my mother. The school was attempting to drug me with ridilin and other such drugs, and even strong narcotics.
Reason? In first grade I was reading at a 16 year old level and called my teacher's bluff about doing all the bonus words for extra credit that I wouldn't have to do more spelling for the rest of the year.
Aced it with flying colors, and the immediate response was to take me to the nurse to be evaluated for not listening.
Suddenly I had to take "special lunches" and asked my mother about it. That's when the school villainized me and my brother and looked the other way on outright abuse on school grounds.
