Comic Strips

Eh, there are things I like and lots of things I dislike about my youth. I think if you think everyone romanticizes it, you're probably not someone who had a horrible time. The youth of my half sister is one of almost constant abuse, mostly mental, some physical. About the only enjoyable stuff she thinks about youthwise may be some of the shows she saw. Her gifts from her mom were stolen by her stepmother to give to her stepmother real kids etc. I wasn't there for that as I lived with my mother instead of my father, inside a religious cult where I also got abused but to a lesser degree.

I wish both of our childhoods were different, and the only reason I'd want to go back is to get out of the cult earlier than I did.

Not me. If I was born a decade earlier I would have died before I was twenty. A decade later, I would not have had to have so much of my body removed. Medical technology progresses at a remarkable pace.
