What's strange is I had a rough and fucked up childhood but I'm the most "successful" and well adjusted one out of my friends. Those who had really great loving and supportive parents who I envied when we were young are the ones who have turned out the most fucked up. We're all now in our 30's (I'm the youngest just turning 30 this year) and the kids with great parents all grew into pseudo-adults. They lean on their parents too much and still don't know how to take responsibility for themselves.
I know this may sound shitty but maybe a shit upbringing is the best thing that could ever happen to some people.

*some* people. others just break and repeat the cycle. how'd they end up to the be such shitty parents in the first place? most likely had something to do with how they were raised.
