Constantly on the go (moving a lot) growing up.
Raised in a very conservative Catholic household- a lot of that time spent with Grandparents as well.
Experiencing a lot of premature deaths in my family.
These things are what I think made me who I am today, no doubt.

Dad was in and out of our lives for most of my teen years then finally divorced mom when I was 19. I learned to put food on the table as a youngster and do most any repairs that needed done early in life. Learned to be financially frugal and not end up like he did as I aged. Would have to say I really have no regrets how things have gone as I only have myself to answer to if I don't like it. Had a great father in law and learned a good bit from him when we were first starting out. Lot of respect for those who were raised in one parent households. It is a wear on all involved.

Very long story for me and for the most part not very pleasant.

Let's see.

Mom died when I was 7 after being in and out of hospital for years. Brought up by my father. He was a good, good man. He remarried when I was 16. I quit school when I was 17 and went to work. Got married when I was 21 and had 2 sons, both great kids now both happily married with tribes of their own. Went to university when I was 24, graduated when I was 27 and went to work in the oilfield. Got divorced when I was 28. She couldn't stand me being gone all the time, leaving her at home to manage everything. Led the life of a hardworking playboy from 28 to 32 when I met and married my life's partner. Went back to university at 33 and graduated with a master's at 34. From the age of 32 on my life has been very, very good. Actually, it was an absolute ball from the time I was divorced at 28. When I come to think of it, the whole friggin' thing hasn't been too bad. I wouldn't change any of it. It's still pretty darned good at 63. :clap::clap::clap:

Sorry this is so long but I'm a lot older that most. :)

Well, I for one, was put into a |"make or break" situation right from the getgo. I had a stable home life with both parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles etc there to support me.

My chain of events happened when I was 5 and in a bad accident in which I ended up in a coma for 3 weeks. The doctors at the time did not know if I would ever wake up or how much damage would be left if I did wake up. Some thought I would be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life after that.

What started my chain of events were those bunch of two faced hypocryte catholic teachers at the catholic school I went to. I know they tried to be good teachers but basically alienating certain students and constantly pointing out their faults does not help a student. I decided then that I was better then that and I would succeed. I just did the grin and bear it thing till getting out of there in grade 8. It basically made me grow up allot sooner than others. In high school, I began focusing my efforts on helping others. At risk of repeating myself, I'll leave it at that and refer to the other thread started by Galvi.

I'm a believer that everything happens for a reason and what doesn't break you only makes you stronger.

I'm currently getting out of a 10 yr marriage because I couldn't stand to be torn down any longer and be made to feel like a second class citizen living with a self-centered, two faced, lying, cheating, money hungry, heartless female dog.

Again, what doesn't break me only makes me stronger. I tend to wear my heart on my sleave now and down let anyone walk all over me anymore. Those two faced hypocrites back in grade school started that with me.
