Hi Xylia, that was YOUR experience and no one can tell you that YOU didn't have it. Maybe your parents didn't see it or understand it but from your perspective it happened. You got to where you are because of YOUR experience. Your experience happened because of your environment. I think for every child to develop into a functioning adult they need a parent to help them develop properly. That means that they need an attentive parent who is paying attention and trying to understand their child's experiences and difficulties. I am sorry that this happened to you.....
