I got childhood pics many years ago from the twisted bitch who adopted me and then proceeded to beat, slap, punch, shove down stairs, stick my hand on a hot stove, rip hair out of my scalp, force me to drink water until I piuked bc I asked her one time too many for a drink of water and when that didn't work, simply deny me food, or as many people refer to that person, my mother. Threw them out immediately, every fucking one.
>> So sorry man, maybe one of you as a happy well adjusted adult would do.
I'm not a happy, well adjusted adult, but hopefully, after 9/24, that might change. Thanks, though.
judit, the shame of it is I learned how to be a supportive, loving dad by default. I was shown for 17 years exactly what never to do or say.
My beautiful granddaughter has never seen her paternal grandmother. I don't know that she ever will. I haven't made up my mind about that yet and she's almost 2.
Virtual hug to you, Joe. I'm very sorry you experienced pain as no way did you deserve that treatment.
Know that you have friends here who care and who are willing to listen.
For me, I call my photos my "Box of Pain" but every time I go through them, it gets easier, I also find good stuff that make me reflect, learn and laugh... some of those I'll save for a future thread called "Bad haircuts I've worn in public." I still have yet to figure out what to do with photos when there's no family that might want them... probably will digitize them all first.
Just saw your beautiful glowing grandbaby, happy for you.
^Thanks, LLOLLO, much appreciated. I didn't mean to put the Kybosh on this thread. I hope others will place pics on here. Life isn't fair. Nothing new. We all move on.
Sweet looking kiddo there, Joe. I was going to post something jokey here, like a pic of Henry's baby from the film Eraserhead, but I just can't bring myself to do that now. Maybe later though.
Mike, please post away. Humor is always appreciated! And thank you for the kind words.
juidit, that's the exact thing I said to myself the day we found out about the pregnancy. My child was going to benefit from my experience. i never lifted a finger to him, never needed to. He's a beautiful, caring, loving father and significant other. I'm proud of him.
>>>after 9/24
I may post about that, when and if it happens. I'm hopeful.
Joe it seems to me you've overcome your rough start pretty well brother. You're much more well adjusted than most of the yo yo's out there, but whenever you feel out of alignment, we gotchoo man. Fuckery aside, that's what we're here for.

Zero requirements, only that
^ LOL I appreciate the effort !
Zero requirements, only that it be you, the earliest on record would be cool.
I never knew that picture of me (youngest of me) existed till recently, my eldest brother (81) dug it out of a box in his attic.
Thought a thread like this would be cute, bein as we's family n all.

Your beautiful granddaughter is so beautiful. That's a picture of sweetness and peace.
The thing is, joe, that you learned. You didn't carry the horrors forward.

If you're able to become happy and well adjusted after a particular date, bottle it. There are a lot of people out there who could use some of that.
love to you.
