What one word describes your childhood?

Asked By: TireSoup4 46-50, F 1 year ago

No child is powerful enough to control the abusive actions of an adult or anybody else. IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT :) No matter how many times the abuser said it was. No one deserves to be abused by anyone. You were used as a punching bag.

Is This A Good Question? (18)

The perfect storm ....... A horrible abusive physically and mentally
Childhood . WS forced to start doing adult things Nd had my toys taken from me at the age of 9 because I got my period so now I had to learn to cook clean sew iron etc....., wS best for everything!!!!!
I forgive my mother , I believe she hated ne because I am just like my father . Who walked out on her when I was 2 and she was pregnant with my sister .. So her life was hard raising 2 girls on her own . I didn't Allie her to abuse my sister I would stand in front of my sister and take it . My sister considers me het mother I made sure she had everything all my life.. I started working at 13 lied about my age and became independent since then ..... Why perfect storm ?!
Because all that misery made me strong hard working and appreciative to things that people dont appreciate , like electricity
Cereal in the morning , a birthday cake .... I had my first birthday cake
At 35! I am far from rich but feel I have a rich life .wow it felt good to write this THANK YOU

That just made my day. Not because you're life was a bit harder, but that you forgave and things are turning for the better for you. :)

Painful. I see you writing nice words to people, dont do it for me. It makes me feel uncomfortable when people say the things you say. I'm fine I've dealt with it, couda been worse.

No, actually I'm a chill person that goes out of her way to help people because I know what its like when you are just down. Im 29 now if I acted out I was going to get beat so no. I listen to music,watch movies, write, I found outlets. I just feel weird with loving emotion. I only love my child, even friends I dont run and give hugs, its just weird, I dont like people touching me. Just things like that. I avoid people when they have a death in the family cuz I don't want to deal with it. Not sure what its called but I'm cool with it.

Tragic, horribly lonely and emotionally scarring. Still trying to heal the damage. . .

Funny!

No matter how bad things were my parents always found a way to laugh. Laughter is a great stress reliever.

I always wondered what it was like for children in foster care. You might try writing a story about it.

We all know that the foster care system is horrible. Where are those anti activist trying to change it. I know that I would be a great foster parent because I understand, but because I dont have a lot of money or willing to go through hoops I can't be one, it is a shame. I dont care about the money I just want to help a kid get out of a hellish situation.

Mine was suuuper fun, and I'm very thankful for it. We didn't have a lot, but we were rich, rich in love. We were a happy healthy family. I'm thankful because as I got older I realized how terrible some ppl's lives were as a child. And I often wonder how I escaped these things that seem so easy become a victim to. But my mom was always always always making sure we knew what was right from wrong and to tell her anytime somebody tried to do wrong something to us. I thank God no one tried anything funny with us because she would have been ready to kill with smoking gun.
