The more I look back, the more I found my childhood to have been as dreamy as I could have hoped for. Except that i thought mom hated me. The fact that I complained so loudly about them for about 10 years is aweful. It was after I had been traumatized at hospital in 2006. I became rabid against my parents after that for a good 5-10 years, having terrible flashbacks that may or may not have been real etc.

It was aweful. yet today 20 years later almost, my parenst are closer than ever to me. On the phone and email at least since we have not been together since 2014, 10 years this year.
