My childhood sucked most of the time. I had parents who were alcoholics and never home so my 2 brothers and I basically raised ourselved.
Having a childhood like that really did make me a strong and independant person and it has made me into the person I am today. With my kids, I did things differently. I stay at home with them and give them lots of love, kisses and I love you's everyday.
My parents are great people now (no longer drinking for the past 20 years) and wouldn't trade them in for anyone else in this world. They are awesome grandparents to my kids and always there now when I need them for anything.
