[quote=Anonymous]I don’t really tell anyone. Sometimes bits and pieces to a significant other. The thing is, my parents were abusive and neglectful  but they’re very different now.

There was one time when I was visiting them as an adult and my mom made a joke to my daughter about how when I was little I would eat spaghetti for breakfast. She said it in a completely oblivious way the way other parents talk about kids quirks.

I actually had to walk out and go to the bathroom to not to cry. The truth is my parents were both never home and they would always forget basics like buying groceries. They would eat out at work and never think about me. Most of my childhood I remember being really hungry because there was no food in the house and scavenging for random cans of of something that wasn’t hard to make.  I remember being really happy when I found something like spaghettiOs that wasn’t objectively gross. But most of the time I was just really, really hungry. (Note that this was not a money issue.)[/quote]
