Favorite Childhood Memories

[AngelaMc]

With technology taking over the world, do kids really enjoy the great outdoors anymore? When I was growing up we didn't have cell phones or computers. We all had imaginations, and had a blast growing up.

Some of my favorite childhood memories are playing outside, making mud pies, sailing boats made out of paper in the streams, playing in the rain, and who could forget hide and go seek. What were some of your favorite childhood memories? Do you have favorites? If so what were they?

Sadly, the happy memories are numbed with the problems that I was going through. I was going through sexual abuse before being taken away. Then in the children's home, I was abused too. Then I was adopted and abused by my ex-wicked-Stepmother and Stepfather. Every day for me was a struggle just to get through. My early years were spent trying to run away from it all. I knew there would be a problem every day, especially with my StepMom. They were the worst years of my life. It's because of the things that happened in those years that I need help today. Because of the problems I wasn't able to release happiness.......

I'm sorry to hear all of these horrible things happened to you growing up @janemariesayed. Hopefully these people that abused you are locked up and can't get out, to ever hurt anyone again. You can be a voice to anyone else going through these things by telling your story. It's time for you to make good memories for yourself as an adult.

That is so nice @AngelaMc. Yes, I do think that it is time to make some good memories. And I do have some throughout my life that have been good. But there has always been this underlying stigma that has had an effect on everything I have done or hoped for. I was born out of an incestuous relationship and it has had an adverse effect on me. My biological and adopted family didn't like it and it was clear to see through all of my life. I have been a reminder of a mistake and a huge sin. Other people close to me have not been able to deal with it. Sometimes I wonder if I would have been better off if I was disabled in a wheelchair. I know that is a terrible thing to say, and of course, I would not want that. But being a bad reminder for some, and disgust for others has not done me very well. Thankfully after half a century, things are changing. I mean that the general public are becoming more aware of child abuse and finding that it was rife. Although I am not in touch with my adopted family anymore, I am sure they are watching the news and thinking of the accusations that I made and they denied and punished me for.
