Worst Childhood Experience, Let's open up this can of worms Options

It's ok, just let it out . Let's not turn this into a competition. Basically, I've been contemplating about what sticks with us. Some people say that past experiences make us stronger, but I also believe they can hinder us from our future. This is an all out anything goes (along the rules of the forum) from being bullied in High School, or having your parents beat you with that feather duster stick or a backscratcher (those things hurt, my parents upgraded when it didn't hurt me anymore), or you wanted a Buzz Lightyear and all you got were some socks.

Nice stevenson. I too don't drink or smoke, but this was my choice. I remember, my dad never showed up to any of my games. Probably because he had to work 2 jobs to keep the house. My mom worked too, but that one job paid enough so she didn't have to work two of them like my dad. I would always get rides to practices and games with friends and always wondered if my parents would ever show up just to surprise me. Well they never did, until I got to high school. I guess they didn't really have a reason to take the time to see me play, because as a kid it wasn't so special. Because they never showed up when I was younger I busted my tail and was named team captain and starting quarterback my junior year in high school. But it hurts because I no longer play football and I can see that my dad is crushed by it.
