Jul 18 My Effed Up Childhood

Women

It's true that our parents can only do their best. My story is not uncommon, especially for the time in which I grew up; the 1970's. People didn't realize the damaging affects of an abusive environment. I'm glad to say that since we know better now, we do better...well some of us anyway. Use my story as a tool for learning what parents should NOT do to their children.
