What kind of a childhood did you have? Peaceful or abuse?

I guess my mother was abusive because she had so many children before she was too old. She was about 39 when she had her last child. Then after that she had to have a hysterectomy . As long as I can remember she seemed like she hated all of us. I don't remember being able ever to go up and hug her. I remember one time I did this as a small child 
and she pushed me away and said something like I don't like to be hung on. I think I was 5 at the time. I turned to my oldest sister and she acted more like a mother to me then my own mother. Heck for years I thought she was my mother....LOL But she is only about 5 years older then me so she couldn't be my mother....LOL
So how many brothers and sisters did you have? Did you have a loving relationship with your mother?

I had very peaceful childhood with we three brothers mom and dad. We all had wonderful childhood. Affectionate Mom and Dad who has provided what a ll we needed food clothing shelter love education affection playtime toys cricket bats what not what ever we want we used to get them.
I think I am giving the same pleasant childhood to my son too. Wish he too says the same what I am saying now after 20 years.
Happy Mylotting

I can't really complain about the kind of childhood i had. We didn't always have a lot of money, but I always knew that my family loved me. There was never any kind of abuse that made childhood a nightmare. i was fortunate to escape that. i have very fond and treasured memories of my childhood.@free_man (7330)

Hi Sender. We din't always have what our wants was but we always had our needs met. We had food on the table and it was always good food. My mother was the abuser. She stood 4ft 9-10 inches and she was full blooded Indian and she was a real b when it came to having her way. If she got mad everyone had better run for the hills....LOL You never knew if she was going to hit you or someone else. So we stayed out of her way most of the time. I am glad that you have treasured memories of your childhood. I thank God I don't remember everything that happened to me.

I have no family. So I guess whether I was abused or not it would have been nice to have a family around to fight with laugh, cry etc. Be Thankful.

Well i got scold like 2 times in my life from my dad and around 18x365 days from my mom (but thats normal :D )
I think it was peaceful . They let me do what i want , they told me to study , but did not force it on me (they just say it) i think that was perfect , maybe cuz i was mostly undarstandable toward them .
Maybe other people in my place were going to grow in to some free persons without education and carring for their family .
I dont have brothers and sisters and my mother and father are the thing that make my life worth it (cuz there is no love at the moment and at the horizont it will change when i have my family but still they will be around equal as them) .

My childhood was not peaceful as my mom was in an abusive relationship and I remember many fights between her and my dad. I think that I found peace in my friends and my grandparents so I do have happy memories from that time in my life, but I also have some real nightmares.

Hi Carolscash. I don't remember too much peace in my life not because mom and dad fought but because she was always beating on one of my brothers and sisters. I have had my share of nightmares. I thought mom must have stolen us from the hospitals as babies because no mother could be that abusive. She was mean to my dad too when he would try to save one of us. But thank God as long as he was alive he put his foot down about beating on me and my twin brother. He told me one day that we was the only two of the children that was really his. That I believed because none of my brothers and sisters look like each other. Thanks for sharing. I am happy that you had some happiness in your life with your grandparents.

Hi Switly. I would never disrespect my mom she had a hard life after she left home. Her parents was loving and very rich. But she abused them and she got nothing because she left home at 15. I only met my grand parents a couple of times and they always treated her good. But when they passed they didn't leave her a dime because she stole so much from them the two times I met them. Thanks for sharing.

For me, I guess I had a peaceful one. My parents are very much loving and understanding parents and I guess I was the one who became abusive towards them.

Hi Cheatedaphrodite and welcome to my lot. We all was abused and I was the only one that would take care of mother when she needed it and she still abused me. But it says in The LORDs word we should honor our mother and father so I took what ever she dished out till I couldn't stand it then I would just go home from her house. Thanks for sharing.
