[quote=Anonymous]I'm the opposite. A few years after having my own kids, I was re-traumatized by the horrors of my childhood. My youngest was the same age that I was when I could recall my first memories. Until that point, I thought my mother was a victim almost as much as my siblings and I were. Looking at my kids, I could believe she didn't do more to protect us. If anyone, particularly their father, had done to my kids what my father did to us, I'd literally kill him. My mother did nothing. I was 43, thought I'd put the past behind me but had to go back to counseling because I was so overwhelmed by the feelings it generated. As far as feeling like an adult, well, I don't ever remember being much of a child. I have to say, OP, when you lament that your parents never helped you learn to make friends or discuss romantic love, I roll my eyes. I don't mean that in a snarky way but just at your lack of understanding of how good you actually had it.[/quote]
