Re: Was your childhood happy?

(Anonymous) 2016-08-21 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Not really, but both of my parents had had much shittier childhoods than mine (as they liked to remind me frequently), so I was always aware that my life could be so much worse. But I got no affection or positive attention from my father, who hit me and my brother a lot, and always acted like I was a nuisance just for being there, and my mother expected me to take care of her feelings and protect her instead of the other way around. I had no one in my family or life who seemed to like me just for myself and not what I could do for them, or who supported me and who I could turn to for comfort when I screwed up or got hurt by the rest of the world. I still at nearly 40 have never had a relationship like that, and I've put up with so many shitty relationships because that's just normal to me. It sucks.

So, uh, I guess my answer is a solid no, no, it was not happy. But escaped into books and my imagination, and that's what saved me.

That's mostly me, too.

I have the utmost sympathy for anyone with a shitty childhood, but it runs out pretty damn quickly when a person milks the fuck out of it and uses it as an excuse for their own shitty behavior.

Also, it really is hard to trust people when no one has ever really taught you how to trust by example.
