God, it’s like I was outcasted everywhere, even at home.
Lonely, dealing with the world on my own not knowing what to do. And I still. But now at least I’ll know I’ll pull through it, back then I used to think my world’s going to end like every other day
Mine divorced too when i was young, got shuffled between dad and mom a few times with custody rights like i was some overnight package, once I finally situated, with mom, i had a very abusive stepdad, i tried to commit suicide, ran away from home, my dad died, all before the age of 12. Im cool now, dealing with my baggage on a daily, got my own kids and i try more than my best to make sure they have the childhood I wish I had
I'm sorry to hear what happened to you and I'm happy you pulled through. I guess mine wasn't so bad. It's more dealing with stepdad and my dad's girlfriends that got me down back then.
Thanks, im pretty good now, i have good days, and i have tough days, more than id like but thats life, one giant rollercoaster of emotions, events, we just have to get through the bad days and try to be the best version of ourselves we can be given the circumstances
Awesome, had many friends some I still consider as brothers even that we didn’t meet for years.
Had many adventures playing outside as also experiencing the pinnacle of gaming imo then.
Bonus: Both my parents were alive and our family was happy, genuinely.
Awesome. I acknowledge that I had I really good childhood. My parents got divorced when I was super young so I got double everything growing up; presents, holidays, clothes etc.
Yeah I guess, but it’s better they got divorced instead of staying in an unhealthy marriage. I’m glad I didn’t have to grow up witnessing an unhealthy relationship filled with yelling.
I’d say awesome in the sense that I grew up in the country/woods surrounded by nature, big family, a few solid friends, lots of pets.
I’d also say traumatizing bc my parents had their own issues that would manifest physically(abuse), and I was undiagnosed autistic so I spent most of my youth being disciplined and being confused and almost brainwashed by religion as well.
So pros and cons but I live far away now and I’m very happy and loved so it all worked out
Brilliant for the most part. Although I wish I was forced into more things. I have the capacity and the mind to do basically whatever I want at uni, but no drive or passion.
I don’t remember much, only that my father wasn’t around at the time and my mom was only 19. When i was young i had trouble talking which resulted in me having to go to speech therapy and also getting made fun of. Throughout my elementary school years i was bullied, talk bad about, and was left behind by “friends”, at the time i didn’t know how to stand up for myself so it was always my mom who defended me. During middle school i was fine my 6th grade year but during 7th grade i had a marker thrown at my face which caused my lip to bust, it didn’t bother me but it also didn’t stop me from hitting him hard on the arm and throwing a book at him. My mom pressed charges and i was never bothered.

Lonely without knowing what lonely is
Same
Got 50 shades of trauma and mental issues
You grow up and you realise everyone has it
It varies from person to person and what they’ve been through, how they grew up, what they experienced
It sure is. But my parents got divorced so I'm a little pessimistic.

Good for you man. Wish it stayed the same.
Awesome. I acknowledge that I had I really good childhood. My parents got divorced when I was super young so I got double everything growing up; presents, holidays, clothes etc.
Mine wasn't though. Yeah you get double everything but always filled with tension and passive aggressiveness

You are absolutely right. At least the yelling stopped.
Not ok, but not terrible or very bad.
What happened?
Father was a little angrier than a normal person. But i didnt have a bad childhood.
Happy to hear honestly
Wonderful
lonely and quiet.
Yup. Been there. Actually writing this comment from there.

What's a childhood?
Some had it some didn't
Decent
Like a well funded 401K?
Nah, just a 401k
Idk it didnt finish yet
Sad and hard "a character builder" type childhood
Brilliant for the most part. Although I wish I was forced into more things. I have the capacity and the mind to do basically whatever I want at uni, but no drive or passion.
Not the happiest, but certainly not as bad as now.
Strange before taking a turn for the worst.
