I think if anything the only neglect was in the way I was brought up. It was the usual, stand up for yourself, don't take crap off people, you can do anything you want to. That was until I actually did this and it was You Are Never Right, They Can Do What They Want and No You Can't Do That.

Must say nearly 15 years into adulthood and this still confuses me.

As for having an episode and not remembering, I'm going to NEED to find that out "stat" because if it's true then my family might well be justified in the way they are to me.
