Hi, I'm a young 50 year old father of three (two sons one 5 and one 21, and a daughter of 31) from Romford, England. I have a lot of experience of life from both the good and bad sides, the good side when I was singing in bands almost every night and my life was one long party, and the bad side having to admit I'm an alcoholic and doing a hard rehab/detox programme (sober for 10 years now) then having a heart attack and a broken marriage to deal with. I am now in a good place in my own mind and want to help others as much as I am able to.

I think that I might be becoming dyslexic. I'm not sure if that can happen so I'm debating on whether to tell my parents.
I've recently (starting about a year ago) started having trouble with reading and with reading numbers.
Say I try to give a number out and it's something like, 764-383-9827. If I try to read it off of something that it was written on it would probably come out something like, 764-833-9728. It's really agrivating because it doesn't matter how long I look at the number; whenever it comes out of my mouth, they are always flip flopped.
It also happen with words and reading; it was just easier to explain with numbers. Sometimes I even read things that aren't even on the paper I'm reading off of. Like, if the word was "with" I might read it as "when" or "what". Should I tell my parents about it?

It sounds like you might have Dyslexia, but I'm not sure that it's something that just comes on like that, it could be an unconscious concentration problem. By that I mean that although you don't realise it consciously your concentration level slips at times when you're reading or writing or talking to someone. Either way you really need to talk to your parents about it and get it checked out by a doctor. Dyslexia and concentration problems aren't a major problem as long as they are found and acted on quickly.
Hope this helps
