Is it normal to blame some of my problems on being dropped as a baby?

When I was a baby my mum dropped me, she also hit my head on a door frame as she walked through it. All unintentional of course. I'm sure she felt like a terrible mother, but I feel I could've been more intelligent if they hadn't happened.

I've always been told 'I'm a smart lad' and I'm quite clever with some things such as problem solving, but most other things, I'm just a bit dumb. I consider myself a bit of a simpleton if I'm honest. For example, my attention span is sh*ite! I can't even get through reading a book because I go over the same paragraph over and over without really noticing then give up!

My ex said 'that explains A LOT' when I told her. Which leads me to think it must have affected me in other ways I'm not aware of.

Is it fair to blame some of my issues (such as lower intellect) on my mother, for dropping me and hitting my head as a baby?

    Just study harder. Allot of kids get hit on their heads as a baby, unless she slammed your head your okay. & your ex was just joking, we joke the same way with my brother because he used to throw himself on the ground as an infant..

    I don't see why this was voted not normal. It is well known head injuries can cause brain damage. Especially to an infant.

    If you think she caused some damage you should go to a neurologist and ask for an MRI. That way, if there is something there, you might be able to get it fixed. Whether it be from surgery or some other method.

    I think it is worse than that. She must have also thrown you into a wall.
