while you were a child created emotional issues for you during adulthood? Or can you man/woman up about it and blame yourself?

i blame myself and my choices for any problems or emotional drama i've experianced.. my parents did all they could to give me a good life and teach me morals and right and wrong..

well put Angel

That time I spent the night with Micheal Jackson when I was a kid really screwed me up for a few years.

I definitely "woman" up... you have to get over the childhood stuff at some point or get therapy... but definitely take ownership somehow...

Peccy, what about adults that get hurt by significant others and carry it with them... Still a dog jut a different breed...

my god...
then again michael jackson must have been young then too...
so maybe that's what screwed him up...


tee hehe

My family (parents) created emotional issues..

As a adult..I have learned to deal with them...

I forgive..therefore..I can move on..

And because of the problems in the family back then..I chose early on that I would do things differently with my own..at least with my sons..

I succeeded..They are living proof..

And thats my answer...

Well said. I couln't have said it better.

i am the cause of my life

I believe the experiences you have during life help make you the person you are. The good the bad and the ugly all rolled into one, but it is your choice how those experiences effect you. If I have emotional issues, it is because I let myself have emotional issues.

Just because you were put on the potty backwards when you were three doesn't mean you can't turn your ass around now.

That's another can of worms there, one that bites and I sure as he11 am not opening it!

Ill "woman up" to it too...

My family like most others did the best they could, I made my own decisions and choices bad and good... No fault of theirs.. I also dealt with the consequences..

why would my upbringing affect the decisions that i make in life and the happieness in life

I was abused by a drunken father.
MAN UP, $hit Peccy, When you have had every bit of everything
you are or thought you were kicked the $hit out of ya.
IT MIGHT BE tha parent or Parents MAKINGS that will mark YOU
all your life..
I grew to be my own person and to become NOT like he was.

But I have a great Nephew who will NEVER BE RIGHT, because of his abuse and mental damage,,,DRUG realated..

So ALL CAN'T woman up or man up. Because they COULD be just products of BAD people, who scared them for their lives....

I had a terrific family, a secure and happy upbringing. Every way my family effected me was either positive, or aiming for it. I'm thankful to the whole lot of them for being the best role models they could be and the loving family that they were and still are. I have never had the slightest doubt about the kind of family I will want if I have one of my own some day. I am truly blessed!

I'm [perfect I don't make mistakes... So I don't think any of this applies to me.....

hey "just sayin"... I mean that's an issue too and more of one that our childhoods I would think... but if not then crap people can't let go and move on!!

Some of what I went through as a youngster created issues as well as made me stronger. Which ever way you look at it our life experiences create the unique person we all are.
