yeah..it happened to me too..same as everybody here..its that emptyness inside of you, that hunger for love and afection..i hate the fact that now im so needy, it makes me sick..but i know its from all the abuse and neglect i suffered with both my parents..they were supposed to take care of me, love me, hug me, kiss me, guide me throug life and make feel confident...but instead..i was discarded, wounded, beaten, punished, and pretending everything was ok, putting both my parents on the bed after a heavy drinking nite..i had to cook my own food, and for my little brothers too..i would see their faces..and see them so sad as well, just like me...man, how do you get over that??...its so fresh on my mind..its so vivid, like it just happened yesterday...i still trumble and cry, just like when i was 5 years old..it took me 40 years to realize i was human..i thougt i was an animal..thats how they treated me..oh well..bitterness, emptyness, sadness, worthlessness, all that ugly stuff..i hope i didnt make anybody feel bad..sorry about that..good bye..
