[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your post really resonated with me. My dad was an alcoholic, and my mom had mental health issues. I was completely closed off to drinking, sex, and a lot of the youthful indiscretions i saw my peers engaged in. I'm now 40, and i still get pangs of sadness and regret when i hear stories from my friends' past. It seems so normal and fun.

I try to remind myself that i may have missed out on some fun but i also likely saved myself from a lot of heartache and potentially life-altering consequences. Also, when i really think about it, it's not the sex/drugs/rock and roll that i missed--it was the freedom to develop my own identity and interests, and that chance never expires! I'm trying to embrace it now.  Good luck. I think it's great that you are exploring these feelings. [/quote]

Or you could have had all those experiences like my spouse did with save family background and still end up with a major midlife crisis and blow up your life.

This is to say, I agree.  And, OP could have had all that random sex and freedom in HS/college and not been “cured” from her upbringing.[/quote]
