I don’t really remember my childhood… I know I was a particularly difficult child. My mom said they wanted to put me in therapy frequently but I would get so irate about it that they never did.  She said I was always very sensitive to noises, didn’t like being touched, and had a tendency towards anger.  I still have anger issues – there are times when I will get so mad I’ll see red – but I am much better at managing it.  My ex said he was the same way… used to punch holes in walls, scream at his girlfriends, but with age he had gotten better with it.

However my parents were quality parents.  My father worked a LOT and traveled a lot, and my mom suffered from migraines very frequently, but I don’t remember anything negative about them.  I never felt unwanted, but honestly… I don’t really care if my parents want me or not.  We were your standard family. I have a younger brother who I am close to.
