It's crazy, growing up... Not as a childhood but already slotting into adulthood when the time was basically meant for you to be a child. There are many people like you and I who sees childhood as an unforgettable experience even if shaped us to be better people. It came with its consequences and implications. No one should have to skip an important stage in their life like that. I'm glad it didn't drown you.

Thanks, and no, it didn't. None /of us has ever been arrested or in trouble with the law because of the manner of our upbringing. Mom said we would hate it at the time but that it would be good for us in the long run and she was right.
I developed a great work ethic that served me well when I started working. I don't drink, smoke and have never done drugs, all because of the strict and cloistered way we were brought up. But it would have been nice to have had a little more balance as a kid as children should never have to take on adult responsibilities and should be allowed to grow up at the when the time is right.
