Yes, I know both of my parents had a pretty difficult life. My mother's father was an alcoholic who beat his kids severely, then changed to a christian who beat is children severely... sheesh lol. My Dad's mom had 9 children with who knows how many different men, at least 4. My dad asked once who his father was and was slapped across the face and told never to ask her that again. He never had stability since they moved all over the country all the time. Hurt people, hurt people. I am glad to remove myself from the cycle for the benefit of all :-)
