[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First page, second PP here. There are so many things from my childhood I resent my parents for. Physical, mental and sexual abuse being among them. My mother looked the other way for 14 years while I was my fathers personal play toy and when he tried to kill me it became, to my mother, my fault. These are the things I blame her for, not for being poor.[/quote]

I am so sorry you went through that.  I also had a childhood filled with abuse, but I did not suffer repeated sexual abuse and not at the hands of a family member.

The things that destroyed my relationship with my mother were also betrayals of trust, failure to protect me, and always (to this day) choosing my abusive father over her children.

Being poor was embarrassing at school and left me with some food and hoarder issues, but that legacy is nothing compared to what the abuse did.

[b]To address a different PP, my parents got knocked up as teens and were Catholic in the early 70s.  So they got married, had a kid, had a birth control failure and had another one, and proceeded to be complete and total disasters for the next several decades (and counting).[/[/b]quote]

Interesting, PP.  Mine were kind of wayward hippies.
