So your family was emotionally neglectful.

It took a long time to heal and understand where I came from. I took my job as a parent very seriously, so I had lots of motivation to not do what was done to me. I didn't even know how screwed up my family was until I got away from them and it was a long process to become who I am today.

I most definitely chose compassion towards others and myself after what I have been through. I feel very fortunate because many people never get that.

I become a "victim". I give and don't expect to get anything back because "that's what it's supposed to be like". I don't know.

If you have not been taught skill sets than (as an adult) we have to acknowledge our short comings and learn how to engage with others in a better way. It takes time.

We are the product of our first family, unfortunately.

Out of training and habit, I sometimes see myself not being considerate to others, but it causes pain in me when that happens. It's a good indicator I need to make a correction.

No one who’s been abused will ever be able to do the second one unless some serious mental disabilities are present.
I hurt others accidentally

Excuses are like assholes: everyone has one. In this concept, how beautiful it would be if people actually listened to each other.

Loving and nurturing but I do have a dark side..
