Mine was fairly typical I would say. Raised by 2 parents, had a brother and 2 sisters. I was second to the youngest. My childhood was pretty good overall I would say, except for the spankings. When I turned 13 everything began to unravel. I hated my dad. Wouldn't even call him dad and still have trouble to this day. He was a domineering father and I didn't respond well to that once I hit puberty. Not getting along with my parents plus the pressures of being a teenager often made life fairly crappy.
