<My daughter C has a lot of trouble with her temper. Her moods swing from good to bad in a fraction of a second. And they're intense.
hmmm. in a fraction of a second..so she's kinda similar to her father that way..or maybe it's a different category of temper..i don't know what i'm sayin, lol. this is way too complex too figure out in the slow-paced support chat world.:)
> Why were you on crutches, an accident?no, nothing major like that. i was playing football (or thought i was) with the little boys in the neighborhood, and they knocked me over accidentally, while stepping on my foot at the same time..it broke my foot, so i had to be on crutches for several weeks. i was a spunky kid.:) i wasn't scared of anyone or anything. except my mom, who was terrifying.
my father didn't give a damn after the divorce. he ignored me after that and it hurt so bad at the time. i think if he'd always been absent it would have been easier than him being there in my early childhood and then just cutting himself off emotionally like that. my mom would make me visit him and i'd cry every weekend..and i swear he could go the whole weekend only saying 3 words to me. so it was just me and my brother. he was the only family i had. he meant the world to me. i never talk about him hardly. maybe i should go to the grief section. he died in a preplanned bike accident that only i knew was really a suicide.
da#$, i guess i needed to get this stuff out. thanks for letting me, susan.
and so that was my crappy childhood; but still, it was nothing nearly as horrible compared to what was to come in my adulthood..but i'll talk about that some other time. thanks again for listening.:)
