[quote=Anonymous]My father was abusive and beat me regularly.  He constantly called me a fat dumb and lazy loser and put signs up around the house to that effect.  He was drunk womanizer and thankfully left the home.  This threw my addict mother into poverty.  She failed to protect her kids though, and in particular me (the younger of a set of identical twins).

An All American high school athlete and very good student, I struck out on my own at age 18.  I did keep up a relationship with my mother, but it was a burden as I acted the parent.  I never succeeded.

I had no relationship with my father and learned about his death after the fact.  The few times I talked to him it was all about the loser narrative.  I actually became successful having completed very good schools with high honors and doing well professionally.  My father just never wanted kids and hated me with the intensity of a thousand suns.

Life without parents wasn't all bad. I had great freedom.  And I became motivated out of necessity.  [/quote]
