What was your childhood like?

We were poor as hell, dirt ass poor. I had no idea as a child, my parents worked together to burden all of the stress and never let it show. They raised me to the best of their financial abilities and I have absolutely no complaints about my childhood.

Right after I left for college my mother cracked, became an extreme alcoholic, and very violent. My biggest regret/guilt in life is that my little brother was stuck there with her and I just ran away, leaving him to deal with it. He is the one that can complain about childhood, I have no reason too!

I'm sorry to hear that you went through so much as a child. I hope you have found a happier place now, and not let it affect you too much!
