My childhoo...Embrace the power of "and." My childhood was horrific, and I built a strong self out of the lessons I learned enduring that childhood. Then I struggled (as we've discussed so many times) to teach those lessons to my children, without making them endure the horror. <br /><br />I also had to discard parts of the lessons my childhood taught me, because survival skills for dealing with dysfunctional parents/relatives are often less than useful when dealing with people who didn't have a horrific childhood/weren't the perpetrators of the horror. <br /><br />I don't think the sea change is just in you; it's definitely not just in me. I think of it as the passing of the Boomers but it's more than that. Society is changing again (it always does) and any decision made while thinking things were going in a particular direction is worth revisiting.

Most folks do. I had the childhood I had; it wasn't the same as Rory's, or Josh's... or even my brother's. I didn't want for much, even if I didn't get everything I wanted. Like Rory said -- I'm tolerably happy with who I am, and that's the product of my childhood (in part). I don't really know how else to view it.<br /><br />Several things have had me thinking about locus of control and attitude or perceptions lately. Framing, like Rory says here. Not done thinking, not yet.

To understand that bad things happen all the time to good people is a valuable lesson to learn while you're young. My mother used to say: "Don't act like a victim," when we were reacting to bad things.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15519274512871033525noreply@blogger.com
