Default Re: How many here had ruff upbringing?

These bad life experiences do make you feel unworthy,no confidence, lacking in social interaction.
My life has been a constant fight, i never had many good friends those that chose to use me i decided they were not my friends the ones who stood by me either moved away or because of parental control was never to have anything to do with me anymore.
I did meet a good guy and settle down start a family my life was taken up with all that family brings.
Now in my middle age i feel i'm that little girl again, but today i know i can beat the bullies, i don't need people around me who think life is all about what they can buy next etc.

I think you get stronger as you age and if like myself you have always felt different to others you draw on that strength and become who you are today.

There are far more terrifying things that have happened to kids all over i am thankful that my life was not that bad, dysfunctional yes!
