Nah you don't really want to know about it. Oh the things I could tell you about what it was like for me growing up. All of it would be true but none of it would be believable. So I'd probably pick and choose the parts I'd share or I'd have to ask you for further clarification as to what you might want to know.
Do you want to know about the Happy and Safe part of my childhood? the part that while it wasn't easy what I experienced it was good, safe, happy and kept me going through the rest of my not so good happy etc parts of my childhood. Or do you want to know what it was like living with my mother? And there again I would have to either edit it or ask for clarification because my time with my mother was very rarely G rated. Some of it was at least PG-13, R, even XXX rated. Or do you want to know about the others who raised me? Some had direct roles in caring for me they were the babysitters, some had indirect roles they were the people who probably didn't realize how big a role they had, some were a little bit babysitter a whole lot of indirect they were maybe more like angels they moved in mysterious ways, some where not really strangers but not anything else they were regular but nothing much they were the ones we would visit with. I'd be left with for short periods of time to wait until they returned from their extra long bathroom breaks. there were girlfriends of family, school mates parents, and then there are the scary people. Oh there were relatives through blood or marriages or treaties and deals. And what relatives should I share about just the good ones like my Gram or just those who were mediocre or those who hated me or were jealous.And each of these sections could be broken into different boxes. And when all of these failed there was the box or the room or the closet.... those were the worst. Because then it was total isolation and limited air, food, water. Or do I share just about the stuff I did to survive my childhood? that's a book in and of itself as I had mad skills as someone once said many not very useful now but back in the day oh they were.
Oh I will tell you I just have to think how far back to go and just how much to share where to start and how to keep it all straight to you. So don't rush me...
