> I know people who have had terrible childhoods, but are no basically absolutely fine, and very succesful.I agree 100% My brother was exposed to exactly the same as me and he is mentally healthy.
I wouldn't say I had a 'terrible childhood'
Mum and Dad always provided for me, always gave me great b'days and Xmas's. They always protected me. Made sure I had sports and other things i enjoy.
I was a little rascal: I know that!
But at the same time they were very obstinate in some way: I adored drums (still do!) I had to plead with them for years and years to get a kit.
Certain things they would only do if THEY saw it right.I guess all parents are 'guilty' of some things.
Give me a buzz if you ever find the perfect parent out there!!!!
