Any other people out there who come from parents who were in the Communist Party?

I am a red diaper baby (both parents in the Communist Party). Anyone out there who grew up in a Communist Party or socialist family?

I was not one of the chosen ones; I never was involved in the CP in any way. My mother was a heavy player, a genuine red queen and very powerful in the Party. I was never told anything except that I was inferior to most of those around me. I was targeted for mistreatment of various kinds over the years.

Why were you considered inferior?

Because I was not selected for special youth training as were most of the children I grew up with. This may have had to do with my father getting in trouble with the CP right before and after the time I was born. There were a number of reasons why I was considered a potential security risk although I knew little about it.

@greenmountaingal: Very curious that they would see a child as inferior or a security risk. sounds like you had a less than happy childhood. I'm sorry.
