ForsakenHermit 07/22/20 9:03:37 PM #35:	Even though my upbringing was alright all things considered I still hold a lot of anger towards certain people including a few family members. My mom was loving if a bit over assertive and dad loved me and my brother too but the only part of parenting he seemed to have any interest in was yelling. Mom has bad relations with her siblings and my brother and I absorbed some of the fallout. Even when she got along wits my uncle he couldn't try to correct children without throwing a bitch fit in the process. My parents split when I was 7 and though they never admonished the other for how they disciplined me or my brother it was clear they didn't see eye to eye and screamed at each other frequently. I also refuse to forgive those who bullied me in middle school. At the time the system rewarded being a punching bag and punished fighting back. (These days they've learned a bit and getting hit will give you a suspension albeit a lesser one.) Even when it didn't get physical I was still treated terribly by other students and my parents did little to help. Dad said little other than offer outdated advice about sucking it up and ignoring bullies. Mom refused to understand nuance or understand that the assistant principle would always give detention if you got called into his office. This isn't to say I was totally innocent by any means but I wasn't totally guilty either. As for religion I was brought up Methodist and am now a deist. I don't have any regrets about being brought up in the church whatsoever. --- Beware the fanatic!
