horrible childhood events certainly played some part in it. I think that happens to anyone that was dealt a bad hand as a child and suffered through trauma from it, it kind of warps and molds you into something else like everything else does when your brain is still forming.
a person who had a huge impact on me is, well there are a few.
My father who Taught and prepared me on adulthood and being a man.
I will add my mother into preparing for adulthood also. I have seen them both suffer in ways that no one should ever have to suffer and they overcame all of it and put their children above their own needs.
I think that plays a huge part in who i am today and with being a parent myself.
And another person i would add into this was my best friend. he was about 10 years older than me and I met him when i was 15 and we hit it off right away. He became quickly like another brother to me and always had my back.
Sadly he took his own life when his girlfriend took his baby girl away from him. As bad as that was and how much i still miss him, when i went through very similar things with my partner at the time and her taking my child rom me, he was in my thoughts a lot and that stopped me from doing the same thing as him and i really was close to it at times.
So I think of it as him having my back even when he was not here.
Probably a warped way to think o things but it is what it is
