Hmmm. I see my life differently. I was a miserable child. So lonely and depressed. I love the choices I have as an adult. Sure, some of the responsibilities s*ck, and some are even overwhelming (cleaning out the basement), but all in all, I wouldn't want to be that child again. I had to depend upon adults that couldn't care less about me.
I'm a much happier adult. I like my choices. Heck, I even chose therapy for myself. When I was about 12 or 13 and showed signs of depression, I remember a doctor telling my mom that maybe she should look into therapy for me. Nope, that wasn't a choice my mom wanted to make for me. I waited until I had a job with health insurance to make that first call ... 10 ten years later.
