Why was it negative or possitive?

Positive- I had a lot of Love, and a lot of growth. They let me make mistakes and then learn from them. Life has been very good to me.

Both!!
My father was an alcoholic and they sepereated when I was about 12 -13 but he has been an alcoholic all my life.
My mum went through such hard times and did the absolute best she could considering, but us kids really missed out. Now i know what things are important to do with my kids, because I missed out - i see the importance.
I hadn't spoken to my dad for ages because of what he did to us, I started speaking to him months ago. I'm stronger because of him. I can forgive now.
You can't come out of a negative experience and not have any positives from it, it's just looking for the positives.
We weren't extremely well off - Postive I understand the meaning of a dollar and do not judge on class.
We couldn't go on extravagent holidays - We learnt the importance of enjoying time together as a "family" - whether it be just a trip to the beach or a lunch etc.
I never had a father figure - It has made me stronger in a lot of ways - mainly emotional. Yes it broke me down, but now i'm realising because of that - I can express my feelings freely.

Negatively! I had to learn at a very young age that men and love were evil. I had to see or hear my mother get abused by my father all the time. Whenever my mother would send me, my older sister and younger brother to my aunt's house in some of the summer's....the SAME thing would happen. Not only my late aunt's drunken pervert of a boyfriend would abuse her, but he would abuse her kids and the rest of us, as well. The same man tried to molest me when I was about 12 and 13.
Because of what I've been though as a child, I had horrible relationships and a bad outlook at love and marriage. This will never change, I assure you!

my childhood influenced me in a positive way. i feel that i've always been a really cautious person. i always think of consequences really fast...they just come to me. I used to be really mean and popularity and having tons of friends was a very important to me. i've always had my own little "clique" and its funny cause i still do. i dont think i've ever not had a best friend. i consider myself quite lucky to have always been surrounded by all types of people. My elementary school was quite diverse so im really accepting of all cultures and religions. i have friends from many differnt countries. Today im a lot nicer and dont really care about popularity as much. i don't do bad things because again im always scared of consequences. I enjoyed my childhood. i had mostly everything i wanted and everything i needed. Im glad my parents raised me the way they did.

I think partially negative and partially positive...I was pretty shy as a kid and I think that has led me to have a more conservative adulthood, so no arrests, out of wedlock kids or STD's...on the other hand I dont think my parents let me be independent enough, and I feel like I spend more time waiting for things to happen now than making them happen...

Hmm. I'd say it was a positive result through negative circumstances. I hated so much the way I was treated, that I told myself I would be better than this. And I am.

Sorry to say..more negaive than positive. Wish it had been different. But my father would not quit drinking..and it was no fun at all. He was a totally different person drunk and not a good one. As a girl it caused me problems. I was looking for love with all the wrong men!!! So I am not sure to this day..if I have ever truly given myself to anyone. I know I have a wall around my heart..to keep me protected. So sad really now that I think about it.
Ciao!

i had an abusive childhood...i think that it effects me in both spectra. it positively influences how i feel about others, and how i view the world, and why things happened, and all that jazz. but i have noticed a negative influence on personal relationships, and trust.
