A pimary school teacher I had destroyed my confidence by making me feel I was useless because I was timid and I only really got in back when I joined the army. 5 years there sorted me out. I'm doing really well for myself now.
And the only way to shut me up now is a sock! lol
oh and I saw your pic.....your very tasty! :)
So negative.......but I turned it around.

Yes, 2 positive and 1 negative in religion. When I was little I grew up believing that we were Roman Catholic. From the age of 8 til about 24, I listed to a Reform Rabbi on the radio. At age 10 or 11, I had my first bad experience with the Southern Baptists and Conservative Evangelical Born-again Christians which considered the rest of us pagans! I have never gotten over it.

As an only child my mother suffered "with her nerves", my life revolved around that. My fathers love for my mum was more than his love for me so I was left on my own most of the time.
To be positive: I have learned to look after myself and be resourceful; I am not afraid of mental illness. I am not afraid of being alone, I know I can cope.
On the negative side: I am very self contained and extremely independent. Have found it hard to have relationships with others.
So yes, my childhood has had a profound effect on my adulthood!

My mother left me when I was one and my brother two. We were bought up by my dad who later married my stepmother. I would say that being abandoned by your mother has a profound affect on you. Sometimes, I am insecure but mainly I am a strong person. We were also bought up in poverty which has made me a hard worker - I have worked for everything I have in my life - I have a profound fear of being poor. I have to say, that I have no time for people who complain in life when they have nothing to moan about or spongers of the benefits system. I have the utmost respect for anyone who gets off the behind and does a hard days work.

My mother being murdered, it has had both positive and negative effects, the negative effects are obvious, but what I went through at a young age has made me a very strong person and more appreciative of people and things around me, it had also made me a realise that life is short, don't dither, if you want to do something just do it, you could be dead tomorrow.

My father died when I was about 18 months old... which is sad, because I never knew him, and he never got to know me or to help raise me... but my mother is immensely strong, and she did her best... and dad couldn't help dying when he did... because mum was older when she had me, doctors advised termination, so if he'd wanted (and mum had agreed, obviously), maybe I would never have been alive... so at least he gave me a chance... but precisely because I never knew him, I don't really know what I've missed... if you don't know what you've missed, then have you missed something? Maybe, maybe...
Anyhow, I'm going to say that it was just an event, neither positive nor negative... things would have been different, that's all... I think with male parenting when I was young, I'd have been a bit more assertive, maybe a bit more balanced... and he'd probably have got me to learn a musical instrument, he was a musical man by all accounts... I would have liked that chance, well, just to know him really, anything else would be a plus :)

Yes, when my father took me in 1968 to see the movie: 2001: A Space Odyssey.
That was one of the most positive profound moments of my life and it stimulated me to go out and seek knowledge. I've been living the life of the mind ever since.

During WW2 I lived with my parents in Sheffield when the Germans bombed the city causing a lot of damage. This experience was so frightening that I now 'dislike' all Germans even though I know it is all over now. The feelings are completely unreasonable because I know that the modern day Germans do not bear us any ill-will.

well i am still in between a child and an adult, but i can say that some experiences in early childhood have severly effected my life now, i know i should get over things but there is a reason why they are called 'scars,' and my parents are kind of strict, but they are still cool, which has a positive effect now- i guess...
