I am 19 years old. My childhood was robbed off me and i grew up in childrens homes, foster care and knew all too well about drugs and violence by the time i was 5. I have watched some very close people to me suffer, die, be brutilised, and taken over by drugs.
BUT
I am so happy. I have listened to my mum, (who was one of the people i was so frightened for in my childhood), i have learned from her mistakes, her friends mistakes, my families mistakes, and i can honestly say and beleive that i am glad all of what happened to me, happened. As i would not be the person i am today, iknow so much about emotional wellbeing, how and why i do and say certain things. I relaise things are not really my fault, i am not stupid. The life ihave had has made me more grown up and smarter than most middleaged women, and i am not being bigheaded, but i have been told this also. But i believe it to. I am only 19, i have a flat, i have two jobs, one of which i can now give up as i have just been givin a £7k pay rise. I am currently taking my driving lessons, and i do not have a boyfriend, i am young free clever and single.
I had a SH!T childhood, but i love me, where i come from and what i know. Its priceless. xxx

Yes it does, but then I'm still only 23. I was bullied a lot when I was younger and was lso always made to feel like the outcast among my so-called friends - one of them even turned round and told me she hated me and couldn't stand the sight of me etc etc. Which was nice lol. I just have a lot of trouble trusting people and just assume that people will automatically dislike me. I get extremely nervous when it comes to social situations as I'm also quite shy. I just don't knwo what to say to people and get myself worked up about it before the event. There are loads of things but these spring to mind the most.

only where my father is concerned. Although he loved us, he was distant and unable to show emotion. He's still like that today, but alittle better with his grandchildren.
I am certainly not blaming him, I understand him. It affected me in a positive way as I determined that I would show my children love and encouragement. They are now well adjusted teens.

Yes, I went through something at a very young age and although I don't remember it, I still have some serious baggage to deal with. Yay therapy.

It is your childhood (good and bad) that makes you the person you are so it affects you all your life.

I'd like to say, it doesn't. But in fact is, I'm missing a few steps that cause(d) my one foot to be nailed to the floor. No matter how hard or fast I run, I'm still in the same place. This is not the grounding I needed.

I guess so.
I'm aware of the way some things my parents did made me feel and have adjusted my behaviour towards my children accordingly.
