Everybody's commentary could describe my childhood. Like 'gettingthere', I had a mother that was cold and very very angry. I was the first male born and i bore the full brunt of her anger towards the male sex. I was severely emotionally abused and neglected by her. And to make matters worse she got her eldest daughter to do her 'dirty work' by bullying me constantly from a very young age. I'm still working through a lot of anger i have towards those two women. I'm finding I'm having less to do with my family all in the name of self-preservation and to regain my life and sanity!!!
