Logan my half brother was like that. He was openly diagnosed as sociopathic, though. He spent a lot of time in juvenile jails and children's homes.

Yeah I don't know about this question. Hmm. I was my dad's firstborn, and I think my mom's second. They were conservative Southern Baptists, and by the timing I'm pretty sure they got married just so I wouldn't be born out of wedlock...yeah I can't do this.

I'm 30 and definitely fall in the camp of coming from a broken family. Multiple marriages, unstable housing, lots of moves, eventually violence, neglect, and abandonment. I don't blame my parents. It wasn't personal.

   I normally wouldn't take offense to this, but I'm in a bad mood today.

Hugs, you can always call me/post me

Sometimes it makes me wonder having no siblings and no family as such, was such a bad thing...
What we don't know - we don't really miss, do we?

My parents divorced after the children were all grown and gone from home. They should have divorced years before that. They were miserable together. I rarely associate with my siblings. We have nothing in common other than the same parents. My family was and still are functionally dysfunctional. In other words they try hard.

I'm 58 and the youngest of 3 kids...one bro one sis.  I had a very happy childhood and my parents never divorced.  My mom did have a difficult pregnancy with me and I was born 8 weeks premature.  Other than that things for me were as normal as normal could be.  (except for the cross dressing that is)

42, only child
Adopted at two weeks olds.
Parents divorced at 3.
Mom remarried a drug and alcohol addict at 5.
New dad mostly Psychologically abusive but occasionally physically abusive.
13 parents become Christians and I am not to happy about this, I'm pretty ->-bleeped-<-ed up by this point and within the next couple of years I'll begin my own mind altering addictions.
41 Biological mother contacts me and tells me she was raped by two guys at a party. Then tells me she had two daughters after me, and I am well into transition at this point.
Pushing 43 now and my parents are awesome.

I have been blessed with a very stable, happy family.  My parents are still happily together after 40 some odd years, and they, my brother, and I all get along very well.  I'm 24.

Also, happy birthday Malachite
