Am I the only one who enjoys being an adult far more than I enjoyed being a kid?

Of course there are things I miss about childhood but all in all my life is far more enjoyable and full now than it was when I was a child.

I doubt it.

I remember when I was a kid there was cleaner who used to say, "make sure you enjoy your childhood; it's the best time of your life."

She couldn't have been more wrong.

My childhood was the worst phases of my life.

Things began to improve as soon as I left home at 18.
But even with that, I soon found I had PTSD, depression and codependency.
I was too slow in learning my lessons.

But the life I have now is a very good one.
I am healthy, content and happy in late middle age.
