    I had two parents until I was 16.

    I would have had a better home life if my father (the wife beating whore) had left sooner.

    Two parents are not the only answer to a good home life.


    I overcame my environment by being the one who kicked him out of the house.

    I had two parents and although it was not great and we were dirt oor and dad dranked and beat us. I now look back and see that our home was full of family love for each other and God entered our dad and things became great in his elder years. It was last August when he passed. The man I thought would bust the gates of hell open, ended up busting the gates of Heaven open. During his dying days he should so much love and care for all of us and no thoughts to what he was going through. He died a very honorable and God loving man. I can never match him.

    No, I never met my father and my stepfathers were abusive to my mother and us kids.

    I overcame it by going through therapy and working hard to rid the bad memories.

    My dad left when I was three years old I had to sisters. My mum couldn't really cope so my nan and grandad rasted me. But I was still very close to my mum and sisters, they only lived acoss the road. But our dad never really care we go to are grandads to see him and he would never show. Or we would fuss other his new kid.

    When I was about 11 my mum got marryed again and me and my sisters loved him, I guess because we were missing a dad. They had a baby girl my littleist sister. But he was always on drugs, he was a con man and slept with my old best friend who was about 12 or 11 at the time, for drugs. My nan tryed to help my mum get out of it but she picked him other us.

    My sister the youngest out of the 3 of us move in with my nan as well because she hated him. He was phoning my nan saying he was gonna kill her in the night, he was gonna gut are dogs. All that...

    Anyway my mum went a bit mad told me that I was the one who left her ... I was three... She kicked me out of the house and I cracked my gaw because I told him to pick him or us.

    There still togther but they hate each other and my mum is a mess still I just get on with her better.

    I wouldn't change nothing because I love my little sister, and it has show me never to took drugs and never to let a man take over my life.

    Vannie prays for babycakes .

    Well while growing up my dad was the one who took good care of me . He did whatever he could in the limited amount of time he got .
    Well for the most part , I met different kinds of friends in different stages of my life ...supported each other in everything and have remained together even now.

    Well .... “There are no such things as strangers, only friends we haven't met yet.” Enjoy :)

    Debris - the new slimline version.

    my dad moved out when I was - he moved in with his girlfriend (now wife)

    this left just me and mum at home as my sisters had moved on. I looked aftermum and got her through the dark depression that she suffered, it was very hard though.

    When she was better - I totally went off the rails, I was drinking, hanging aroung with a rough older crowd. I got into a LOT of trouble (got pregnant) and my mum was very supportive and it brought us closer together

    It was a very tough time for us

    I did not "overcome" my environment. It's like asking what is it like being a plumber's kid or a preacher's kid or a musician's kid.

    What you grow up with is what you know.

    Yes I was truly blessed. I had a mother and father in home. They raised 24 children all girls. My parents were young as well. I was born when they were only 12. They were able to spoil us and we live in a middle class family. They taught how to behave and become a productive members of society.
