Not exactly the kind of environment where kids tend to thrive. My dad was verbally abusive to my mother, my mother was selfish and lazy. Needless to say, my childhood was less than ideal. Unfortunately, it would take them 8 years and 3 more children to figure that out. I was the first child of 2 people who should never have gotten married. If these are topics you struggle with, please read with caution. Warning: This testimony involves stories of childhood abuse, marital infidelity and frank descriptions of sexual acts.
