I don't see what I went though as a gift. My childhood was horrible. I lived in fear every time I had I tic I just wanted for my mother to hit me. Or worried she'd take my food away Most of the time she would. I was scared and hungry all the time.

@Cigarguy I never said it was easy or simple, I'm saying you're breathing and it's not for nothing

@ScreamingFox I do get that and understand what you mean. It's just hard when you've lived it to see it that way.

@Cigarguy hun I've been through a mess too, but I definitely don't think it's all worthless. I can look in my son's eyes and know life is a gift.

@ScreamingFox I don't think my life is worthless. I have 3 amazing kids that are everything to me. I just don't think what I went through as a child made me a better person or helped me become a better person. I think I made things worse. I have bad anxiety, bad OCD and tourette's. I never got the help I needed to help me cope in any way.
