    • Open Family Issues

      Too much to get into!! I don't associate with my family too much. I try to avoid them as much as I can because sometimes they hurt my head and break my heart. It does not matter what I do they always hold something against me. My parents problems were our problems. Please if your a parent reading this, DON'T FIGHT in front of your children. They remember and as a child they learn to tune you out but as they get older they start to remember the abuse.
